iTunes Store is busy, dammit...

I also get long periods of time with that message too.

Which message?

I've not got any activation screen whatsoever, just "iPhone" and "Accessing iTunes Store..." in the bar at the top. It's been "nearly done" for the last 10 minutes.

Any ideas?

2.5 hours later and still I cannot get past the 'Servers Busy' screen for existing customers.

Makes you feel any better I'm a new customer and I'm in the 3rd hour.

2 Calls to O2. The last one I spoke to a really rude guy at the activation desk. He was no helpful and in the end said call customer care. I did, sat on the line and then was told to call the activation line.

O2 sucks, and so does this activation ********..

I am not impressed.

It's not like they didn't know this was going to happen. They knew damn well it would be hammered and yet they neglected to take the necessary steps to upgrade servers etc....

It is quite surreal to be reading this thread on an iPhone..

Good luck for a successfuly and quick activation. It will all work out and just imagine what is on the other side of the hill..
