According to Apple’s Q3 financial results call, Apple sold 270,000 iPhones during the first 30 hours of sales. Wow! that’s a lot of iPhones in just 30 hours, but they admitted to and apologized for activation problems, which would account for that 146,000 activations figure that AT&T released yesterday. So, that is also a lot of works activations to do, because users and buyers of iPhone are eager to use the gadget instantly to find out how amazingly genius this phone is.

This means, that when you buy the iPhone you need to wait for the activation in order for you to use it and show to your friends your new iPhone. Just like having a Beverly Hills rhinoplasty, you need to wait for the healing of the wounds before you can see the beautiful changes of your new defined nose.
