Well, I can't activate it on my business account, which i knew for a while. But hopefully the lady in charge of the cell accounts at my dads work will be able to figure something out. Because it's mainly a problem with discounting the account. So i hope i can stay on the same account and just lose my discount. I've been reading some mac forums and there are a lot of people going onto 28 hours waiting for activation. I'd be furious if i was in that boat. Moki, anything stand out as really great or bad now that youve had some more time to play with it?
AT&T dropped the ball on their provisioning system (read: activation). I'm told they are still in "crisis mode" -- idjits heh.
Anyway, what stands out as really good is that it's a great phone. The additional features that it offers are easy enough to use that you'll actually use them.
Really, the best thing I can say is that it all "just works" and does so in a very natural way.
The only real negative is the EDGE network's speed. A non-issue for me while at home or at work (since it just uses my WiFi), but on the road... blech. The web browser works incredibly well, which is what makes the speed of the EDGE network so annoying. The speed is fine for email and other Internet functions, though.
There are other minor things that are not a big deal, and I understand will be addressed soon in a software update, but for instance you can't upload a custom ringtone. Stupid. They provide some nice ones, but c'mon.
I'd also like to be able to mount the phone as a hard drive the way you can with an iPod, but I understand why they didn't allow that (so that you can disconnect the phone at any time, even in the middle of synching). Still, having that as a hidden "expert" preference would be nice.
Other than that... it just kinda works.... and works very well.
