I just recently got my pre ordered iPhone in the mail, and when I activated it, no 3G came on. Instead, I just have a circle where it should be.

That means that you are on 1xr Internet. If you know you should be in 3G, then something is wrong and I would exchange the phone at sprint or apple.

All of a sudden the 3g came on today. I called Sprint and they pushed an update and all of a sudden it came up today.
