got activated 3g phone..everything works exept cant open mail app,it's crashing,also cant delete mail account..any suggestions????..getting message "itunes cant sync mail accounts because iphone canceled sync"

AnyWay... Remember these words! Activating Phone or any device throught internet is so stupid! Only Apple thinks so crazy... i dont see reason by doing this with iTunes...
There is many simple ways to lock phone by sim, like others do - NOKIA and bla, bla, bla...
Simple, Easy to use your sim card with previus contract with carrier who sels this phone and support that sim. Simple!
Why this stupid system, i don't see reason...

Too bad, even though most of the phones left the store unactivated (for the first part of the day) that doesn't mean they are free of a contract.

People were still locked into the AT&T contract, the specialist picked the plans, they paid, everyone got rung out. It's just iTunes that was the problem, no one could "activate" their phones because the servers were down.

Oh well,
I'll stick to my 2G for now

I was a little irratated with the AT&T store(s). I went to my local one at 6am, thinking that there wouldn't be a whole lot of people in line. I was a bit surprised to see about 150 in line when I got there. Around 7:30am a manager came out a walked down the line and when he got to me I asked if there would be enough product for us in line and he said that it was no problem. Well about at about 9:30am we got word that they had about 10 or so left and I was still 40 or 50 people behind! I heard from 2 other people that had similar stories with AT&T stores. Uh, can they count? I wasted 3 1/2 hours waiting there. So I hurried down to our biggest Apple store (was told by an employee the day before that they have way more product than the AT&T stores) and when I pulled into the mall I saw the line and I knew where the Apple store was in relation to it and didn't even stop. So I drove another 20+ miles to another Apple store, one I have never been to and I heard (from the same employee) that not too many people know about this store and that they didn't run out on opening day last year! So I get there and I already see the line but park anyway. When I get in line I ask the people in front of me how far is the Apple store from where we are standing and they said it wasn't that far (I think shorter than my original line at the AT&T store). So I was estimating about 125 people or so. Well things were going so slow that it took 4 hours to get into the store, and then it took my activation over an hour to complete! Not sure if it was my Apple helper but the system on her little palm pilot thingy kept crashing and she had to either get a genius or manager or call AT&T for help. As I walked out the store I tried the map with GPS and it showed me in Pittsburgh (I actually live in San Diego), and I almost went back to the store but instead just got in my car and started driving home. I look down and it was tracking me correctly! I have to say it was quite a draining day - left the house at 5:45am and got home at 4:30pm!

^^ all that commotion for a phone bro?! Come on you could have easily walked in today and picked it right up. My buddy got 2 with no problem today at an apple store. Gotta pick up a hobby or something. I'll wait till one of my buddies get tired of it and I'll buy it from them. :-)
