iPhone killing Activation Systems
July 11th, 2008
I’ve been following Leo on twitlive.tv and there have been reports of people not able to get their iPhones due to the Telecom providers activation systems going down.
No one knows what the cause is, I’d assume that it’s because of high demand in countries that are getting the iPhone for the first time. 3 callers have reported the outages in Austria, Australia, and the Netherlands. Due to the systems being down, they had to send people home with “IOU’s” until the systems are back and functioning and they can unbrick them. Since there aren’t any stores open yet in North America, We don’t know if this will hit Canada and the US too.
Again, I have to thank Leo Laporte for doing this 24 hours of iPhone coverage. That takes alot to broadcast for 24 hours. Bravo!
