I tried to buy an iPhone for my wife on her birthday, last Friday, but the thing still won't work!  The process is just screwy--  I plugged the phone into the computer and connected to iTunes, filled out the online form, and got a message back saying the request was being processed by AT&T.  I even got an email from AT&T saying something vague like they're working on the activation, but there's:

1. No indication of how long it takes.
2. No information about how to get help should something go wrong.

Finally after days of waiting I called Apple, who said it was an AT&T problem, but they connected me to AT&T after a 30 minute wait.  The AT&T person had no idea what had happened, but said my phone was locked out of the system, and I'll have to take it back and get a new SIM card!  What the hell!

&@(#&@& AT&T!
