As many of you know, Apple's much unexpected failure in delivering the anticipated iPhone 3G shocked the nation, as well as much of the rest of the countries debuting the not-so-fancy-now-are-ya iPhone. With Apple's CEO Steve Jobs running around on stage at the iPhone 3G keynote promoting this godly device, people went crazy over the speed, price, and capabilities of the iPhone. What's the big idea here? Apple, being one the leaders in the U.S. marketing squad, surely they must have had the intelligence to plan some sort of preparation for the million + customers coming to get the phone. If they are proud and big enough to boast this new device, then surely they must be able to back up their word, and follow through. In many cases, all over the nation, disappointed customers waited in long lines to get new phone were turned away and were told to activate the phones at home, only to be disappointed again, because the iTunes server locked up from being constantly hit with activation after activation. So to Apple... Its Showtime. Ha. Showtime for what?... to see how many suckers get caught up in the mess Apple can dish out? My Advice? Wait a few days, and try again.
As customers were turned away, more and more people, helpless to Apple's crappy service were left with either an unactivated 3G iPhone, or were stuck with a brick when they tried to update their 1st-Gen iPhones with the iPhone 2.0 Software. (which also uses the iTunes server, so they too were on the same boat as the 3G users.) Just as the picture shows on the left at an AT&T store, iTunes began locking up after a few moments of the iPhone being released. As you can see, the man on the left is waiting patiently as his computer fails to activate the phone. (is that Denise Richards on the left?)
As more and more people begin to finally activate or un-brick their iPhones, Apple will definitely take a blow from this mess. Maybe Apple isn't so great after all... or maybe they have grown too proud, and have failed to serve what they claim they can dish.
***Coming June 28, 2009, the only phone to beat the iPhone 3G... The iBrick. With ultimate paperweight capabilities, an all new brick look, and the same crappy cellular phone that just won't work.***
