Anyone else having issues setting up iMessages? I keep getting an error when trying to sign in over my sons phone. I can get into his account at Apple's website, but it won't save any changes in the account. I am guessing it is overloaded with all the new igifts people received.
Got a tip for us?

It's probably overloaded because there are thousands of people trying to set up their Christmas presents at the same time. 
Give it a few hours and it'll probably calm down.

Yeah, agree with @OllyW.
Give it a few hours, hopefully you won't have any issue with it after few hours. Check it again!

I haven't had to set up an account, but I've been using it since early this morning and its been working like a champ all day.
Same problem actually.
Every so often it says "Cannot connect to iTunes Store", even in the middle of browsing it.
I imagine they'll have it fixed by tomorrow though so it's not a massive problem.
