Try transferring the sim card over? Maybe that'll work...
That's typically what I've seen done with phone upgrades anyway.
Therein lies my question... the iPhone4 has a Micro SIM... how do we transfer our number over from our regular SIM to the new iPhone4?
Probably a total NOOB question, but I mean, I'm still on my SIM from the original iPhone... my understanding is that the SIM holds your account/number info. Will be interesting to see how they port it over.
Here is why it won't activate. This person must first download and install the new iTunes update. Otherwise, the new iPhone cannot sync with itunes right to activate. If he/she will do that and then attach the iPhone it will properly activate.

That's correct. Mine would not even recognize the new iPhone when plugged in until I updated iTunes.

They don't port anything. They just get the info from you and they will zap the micro-sim with your information, leaving your old one dead.
Not a problem. MicroSIM has a smaller amount of plastic than the MiniSIM found in the other iPhones. It's the same thickness and the contact area is the same, all you have to do it cut with a pair of scissors. But if that doesn't work good look getting it back in your old phone.

That's certainly an option but like you said, it may not end well.
It seems to make sense NOT to put a hold on Fedex for delivery on release day. It may help to not overwhelm the activation servers with the inevitable onslaught.
Hopefully the cops won't come barging in to confiscate all of his electronic devices and hard drives.
He didn't confess on the Internet to paying a felony amount of money for an item which under Cali law was 'stolen' property. So no visit from the cops.
And the 'joke' isn't funny.
As for the early deliveries, if Apple really didn't want them getting out ahead they wouldn't. So either these were all ATT orders and they dropped the ball or Apple isn't that totally worried. In a way it makes sense, 600k units trying to activate on the same day would probably crash ATT's computers, not a good PR move after the pre-order issues. Having a few hundred hit the system early takes a bit of stress off the system. So a win.

I was hoping they would redesign those.
Same old earbuds and charger. Nothing new but the phone itself.
I too just received my new iPhone in Portland, OR about an hour ago.
What color was the box?
Hmm, why is this box white and Mac Rumors box brown
The brown box is the shipping package. The white box is inside the brown box.

Gotchya! Thanks for the info.
The new iPhone uses a micro sim.

You can get your packaging box in any color you want, as long as it is brown.

That box image looks so faded like it was printed on construction paper.
The walmart one only looked glossy because it was still in the shrinkwrap... lol
