iCloud Won't Set Up

[Iphoneness]

I got iOS 5 on my GSM iPhone 4 and now when i click on iCloud in Settings, it says "account not verified". Then it loads for a few seconds and then says that I need to check my email to activate the account. So I click on "check email" and there's no email... Anyone know what I need to do to get it to work?

Strange... mine works and verifies.
If you setup a new iCloud (me.com) account with iOS 5, you won't get email.
The only thing working with those accounts are Find my iPhone and Storage & Backup.

That is for non-devs.

Devs already have access (limited) to some iCloud features.

I did not have a MobileMe account but I setup a new @me.com account (iCloud) under iOS 5 and I get emails at the new firstname.lastname@me.com email address I just created.

Same happened to me.
Goto https://appleid.apple.com & verify your address
I had to re-enter my primary email address, iCloud now lets me back in.
