My iPhone 2.0 Upgrade Not Reactivating
It seems like there’s some sort of service outages with the iTunes store related to users upgrading to the iPhone 2.0 firmware. The firmware download and upgrade process seems to have upgrade fine, but mine is stuck on the please-connect-to-itunes screen. All I can do right now is view the IMEI and ICCID, and make emergency calls.
Update: After 4 continuous hours of having it plugged in, it finally reactivated and synced. PITA, but the new apps are hot!!!

Oddly enough my name is Preston Lee as well. Anyway, my iPhone 2.0 upgrade was the same experience. But keep plugging away at it, keep trying to connect. After a couple of hours of trying, and confirming with AT&T that the servers at Apple were bogged… I finally was able to upgrade.
The whole process was stressful, but now that everything is resynced and the iTunes app store is up, I’m overwhelmed by what this means for the mobile device industry in general. The whole platform is really evolving nicely.
