Many consumers spent the night waiting outside stores for the release of the new Apple iphone 3G. After hours of standing in lines and the heat, finally, each consumer gets their turn to shell out more money for the upgrade. Next, they proceed to activate the new phone. All that anticipation is exhausted as consumers learn that the AT&T activation server that is required to provision the new phone is hacking up blood. The activation servers are overloaded and at one point, the word on the street was that they crashed.
In the end, all this anticipation has landed many consumers with a lame-duck iphone. We have been monitoring all the blogs since this morning and there’s a non stop buzz out there from consumers. They are frustrated, disappointed, and unsure when their new iphone will be up and running.
