Live blogging – Opening (and unbricking) my new iPhone! 
July 12th, 2007
UPDATE: 4:11pm.. iPhone is now WORKING! I did “something” and now it works.. no questions! Well no actual phone capability, but wifi and mp3. See the bottom of this post for my glorious ’syncing’ photo.
Ok this is a LIVE event folks.. I am OPENING MY NEW iPhone box.. this is a momentus event and with Jake’s help I will be documenting the entire experience for y’all to savor (uhh yeah).. ok here goes.. First the unopened box:

Next.. we carefully unwrap things..
ooooohh.. look at the nice box.. its a piece of art. Jake’s impressed..
Tadaa!

Look at all the bits.

D’oh! Gotta activate

Downloading itunes in IE7.. arggg! Javascript error??

Ok I’ll try on Firefox.
.. update: so I tried activating with my Canadian credit card because I heard there is a route to doing that where you do the pre-paid thingy.. no go. Here’s the ominous email I got:

Called AT&T.. no go. They wont do it, and AT&T will not activate my phone from Canada. I’m pooched unless I hack the phone or get my US buddy to help me out.
UPDATE: 4:11pm.. iPhone is now WORKING! I did “something” and now it works.. no questions! Well no actual phone capability, but wifi and mp3. Note: make sure have the right version of iTunes.

“Look at all the bits”. Was that a Mr. Bean Christmas Special reference? If so, nice one.
