What are you talking about? Apple didn't edit that part out, I saw it in its full in the keynote video.

At first thought, I thought so too... but that little tidbit of "cannot activate cellular network" I don't recall being there.

This absolutely doesn't turn me off to buying an iPhone 4. Not much would. If I were the CEO and this happened to me... I'd be frustrated too! Who can blame him?
 
What part was edited out? I saw that whole situation in the keynote in iTunes. Are you talking about verzion part?

You did not see that in the keynote because I watched the keynote 6 times now and I know it's not there.
 
Seriously, what's with everyone liveblogging with their own personal devices? Surely they could have gone two ways: no liveblogging allowed (that would have sucked), or have one live stream to prevent everyone trying to liveblog.

Perhaps most didn't know this:

CNN.com was broadcasting the entire keynote on their homepage with about a 10-15 minute delay. I didn't realize this until halfway into the keynote, but by that time, I couldn't bear to break off the live blogs to watch a delayed stream instead.
 
In the keynote, you don't see this part:

You don't see the screen with error message.

Why don't they put two WiFi spots, one with password and one without (for bloggers) simple as that.

Uh...what was the point of the first part of your message? I know that's NOT in the keynote, that's what my thread is about, showing that it WASN'T in the keynote. Also, your video was edited because when those error messages came up, the audience roared.

Sorry, I quoted wrong person :D

I don't doubt that they had a separate SSID set up for the demo iPhone units on stage. But when you're talking about 500+ wireless devices all communicating at once, even if they're not all on the same SSID, you're gonna get a crapload of interference.
 
It's never been a problem at previous keynotes, and none of the bloggers seemed to have any problems with their WiFi. I bet the iPhone 4's WiFi radio isn't up to par.

WORD!!!

The channel overlap in that place must have been insane!!! Hence the request for everyone to shut off their MiFi hotspots...
 
So once the MiFi/WiFi devices were turned off, both iPhones responded pretty damn fast with no issues. Stuff happens, you can't really predict what 5200 developers with multiple wifi devices is going to do to your own networks.
 
I tend to agree, as it shows the 3GS loading the page and 4 not. If it was truly a wifi issue, shouldn't both not load?

Well the 3GS had a head start so maybe it established the one connection that prevented the 4 from connecting
