Biscuits Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Anybody else happen to pick up an iPhone 3G today and not be able activate the darn thing yet!?! I didn't bother, but I've upgraded my existing iPhone to v2.0 firmware and now it's fecked ! I'm left with an iPhone trying to activate again (along with half a million other basts with new 3G iPhones) Bit of a hassle, as I need my phone in the morning for the 'Ring trip...

bpsmith Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Gutted for you fella! Dont know what's worse, having a brand new iPhone for the first time and not being able to use it, or knowing how good they are and upgrading and not being able to use it!?! Fingers crossed for you though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest i was an Apple hater until i was given a 16GB Touch and became a convert, however i won't be going for an iPhone but eagerly awaiting the arrival of my Blackberry Boss....

dave877 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 It wasn't until I had signed the contract that they remembered to point out the new iphone tariff (I was upgrading) wouldn't apply until the next billing date -- in 10 days time! "Might not be wise to use the internet just yet sir!" So I have an iphone to play with but have to pay through the nose for any data!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritey Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Were you upgrading from an iphone or normal phone, in either case, I upgraded from a normal phone last time to the original iphone and the tarriff kicked in straight away, if you're already an iphone customer I can't see it not being the same?

bpsmith Posted July 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 I got mine sorted after being out for a couple of hours. Been an Apple kid for 3 years now but this beats the lot so far! Glad yours is sorted too! Posting this from mine strangely enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riz Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Can you run MSN from it and access google mail? Riz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgera Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 took a while to get mine activated. Had to reinstall itunes then all was good. Sat in my hotel room after a long day at Goodwood using it to type this on 3G. Fresh device and browsing is quick enough on 3g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpsmith Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 You have an AIM app so assume you can sign on with MSN to it? Google Mail is no problem either. iPlayer works very well on WiFi but not tried using 3G yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
