Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I'ma restart everything and see how that goes (I had to totally restart in order to get the firmware *onto* the phone after download, so it should work....).

Okay, I right now have a shiny DOORSTOP, and I have NEVER HACKED MY PHONE!
I WAS AN OBEDIENT iPHONE OWNER, JOBS!!!!! WTF????????
Yeah, piss off, I can't even get mine to admit that there's a version newer than 1.1.4.
I don't have a cellphone and I confess I'm feeling the schadenfreude in a smug sort of Luddite way.
At least you have a PHONE right now!
I've got nothing.
So don't get too annoyed that you can't turn your phone into a silver brick. I'm sure you'll be able to disable the thing soon enough.
Just checked and the activation servers are down and have been going down all day. It's leaving folks in Sean's situation with phones bricked half way through activation. Even the stores can't activate new phones right now.
