I have several family members with 1st Gen iPhone and some with 3G. Not all have high speed internet. Anyone have a link to download the 3.0 software without going through iTunes?
It took over 55 minutes for the entire process for me. Perhaps you just didn't give it enough time.
Thank you... I guess 30 minutes wasn't enough... I rebooted everything, then plugged back in for the intall process and it finally did it after some 20 mins or so.
It was just weird because during the "backup" process, the progress bar just hung in the middle and didn't move for 30 mins. I thought it had frozen
i've just installed the 3.0 software and my iphone rebooted, it shows the picture asking me to connect it to itunes....but nothing happens in itunes, except it show the message of "iTune store error".....and my phone just freeze on the "connecting itune" screen...

You need to keep trying to connect to the iTunes Store. It took me about 6-7 times and I kept getting the same error. Eventually it worked! With everyone and their brother trying to update/activate at once its putting a strain on the servers.

Yep. Rebooting didn't help either. So I'm going to keep hammering at it and hope! I've gotten the error probably 20 times now, I'm on FIOS so it's not internet speed either.
I've gotten iTunes to successfully download the 3.0 upgrade. But when I ask it to Update my iPhone (1G), I get an error message after extraction saying the "iPhone cannot be updated at this time because the iPhone activation server is temporarily unavailable."
It says to try again later. I've been trying for the last 20 minutes.
I'm surprised to not see other people unable to come out of emergency only mode. Any tips on how to get it to activate after the update?
I have same problem and "We could not complete your iTunes Store request An unknown error occurred (-9807)" message from iTunes. I restarted my iphone and computer but still have same problem. Anyone knows how to fix this problem?

If anyone is having issues downloading the update or just wants to download it manually (not through iTunes) click the link below. You will have to take the .zip off it (DO NOT expand the zip file!) and then launch iTunes and hold down the option key while clicking check for update and it will pop a sheet down asking where the file is. Just point finder to the file.

Well I got through the whole download. It took about 15 minutes. My iPhone was automatically restarted and I got the "Network Connection Timed Out" and now I can only make emergency calls from my phone now. Anyone else having this issue? i am not receiving calls either. Do I have to go up to the AT&T store and re-activate it once I get the new OS downloaded?
OK, well my first sync with iTunes finally finished (like I said, the backup took forever). The notes on my iPhone did not sync with the notes in Apple's Mail app, so I tried it again. I checked the Notes checkbox in iTunes and hit Apply, and it spun the beachball for a few seconds and then the Notes item unchecked itself, the iPhone synced, and still no updated Notes. Can anyone see if they can get this to work?
The download started at 1:16 CDT & ended at 1:20 CDT. The software works as as advertised but 3 attempts to access the Store on my phone resulted in 3 error messages (shows "Error -4). Will try again later.

Just downloaded 3.0 on my 16GB iPhone here in the UK. MMS works alright and the other features are as expected.
But does anyone feel as though their iPhone has got significantly slower?
My phone takes longer to start up, the apps store takes at least 1 minute to show any icons and apps generally take longer to open.
Anyone having this problem?
So far, everything seems a bit faster.
A festering annoyance in the UI is the inability to quickly arrange apps via iTunes instead of on the phone/touch. It's a bleedin' chore!
AMEN!
have you emailed this feedback to apple?

See my post above for the directions on how to update through iTunes when the file was downloaded manually.

YUP, getting the exact same error.
Getting the exact same thing here. 1G iPhone.
"iPhone activation server is temporarily unavailable."
And me...

Where can I get a similar link for the iPhone 3G?
I am stuck on beta 5 and don't have the GM version, so it still won't upgrade me since I technically have OS 3.0.
Thanks

same problem here.
How many other bricks out there already? Twitter is hopping about it at the moment.
