AT&T is supposedly working hard to put an end to the wave of iPhone activation horror stories that are spreading across the web. Any of you having problems activating your new iPhone?

"We are working on any issues on an individual basis with customers who were impacted," said Michael Coe, a spokesman for AT&T, the Apple Inc. device's exclusive carrier. Nearly all customers have been able to activate their phones within five to eight minutes, he said. Without activation, not even the phone's alarm clock works, leading some unhappy customers to joke that their inactive iPhones are little more than expensive paperweights.

AT&T attributed the problems to overloaded servers as large number of customers tried to activate their phones over the weekend. After being hit with the initial onslaught, AT&T made technical adjustments to its activation system so that new users wouldn't face the same delays, Coe said.

Despite it, some analyst claim that sales should top 500,000 for the first weekend.

I bought iPhone at launch and since then it took me about 2 weeks to activate my phone. I had an account before but it was business and they had to change it to personal which made the whole mess.
