Activation problems are causing extreme frustration from anxious customers this morning as both AT&T and Apple’s infrastructures buckle under heavy demand for the iPhone 3G.
With most AT&T stores sold out of the device, Apple Stores are seeing lines that still number in the hundreds at some locations. Activations are trickling through, with only a handful of customers able to successfully purchase each hour.
Unlike the original iPhone, the iPhone 3G must be activated in-store. However, after several hours of sluggish transactions, both AT&T and Apple stores started allowing customers to take their AT&T activated, but not-yet “unbricked” (the unbricking process takes place in iTunes) home — though many users aren’t having much luck there either.
