Latest I've seen is that the servers are down for an indeterminate amount of time.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Yeah, hold off upgrading if you haven't done it yet, the apple activation service is broke right now.
2.0 firmware seems pretty solid.

Trust my rage
Just checked and the activation servers are down and have been going down all day.
You'd think they would have learned after last time. I finally got my phone working again but I can't get any apps on it. (Not that I'm complaining at this point.)

Yeah. The bad thing this time is they did a planet wide launch. Ooops.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Have you tried to activate your iPhone to no avail? Are you holding a $299 brick in your hand? Here's what you do. When activating your iPhone (or just upgrading to 2.0 software), if you get an error message on your phone, DO NOT UNPLUG IT. That will restart the entire process.
Instead, just wait. Leave your phone be and don't close iTunes.
We've successfully activated five different iPhone 3Gs with error screens just by letting them sit plugged in for anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes. Hopefully that might work for you, too.

Here's a doom & gloom report from The Industry Standard site, which I don't know is reliable or not:

Too late.
