Apple's new iPhone went on sale Friday to eager buyers worldwide, but there were problems getting the phones to work. Kenny Pichardo, 24, was the first to buy an iPhone 3G at an AT&T store in the New York borough of Queens, but he said it took the store half an hour to get the phone working.
The spectacular iPhone launch failure as the fault of Apple, according to AT&T. In a Bloomberg article, the telecommunications giant places the blame solely on Apple’s iTunes activation servers. An AT&T spokesperson says the problem is worldwide and that Apple is working on a solution. AT&T is Apple’s exclusive US partner and both companies claimed it would only take 15 minutes to activate the phone today.
