Indeed we could! But it's raining, so maybe not ;-)
I have to say, I'm not impressed with Apple and O2's handling of the iPhone 3G. First of all I registered my interest in the phone with O2. They provided regular status updates, and on Monday I got an SMS saying that some stock is available to pre-order early online. I tried to to so, but the site kept timing out. Thousands of others had the same problem and missed out. But O2 knew that 200,000 people had already registered their interest, so surely they could have anticipated this! Then I got a message from O2 saying that they had sold so many online that there would only be a few DOZEN in stores on launch day! So I got there very, very early to make sure I got one. Store opened, and the first few customers went in (I was 12th from the front). As soon as they started trying to register the phones, their systems started crashing due to the load. Again, surely this could have been anticipated. They resorted to doing all the registration on paper. Once I got home, it took several hours to get the online activation to work, as the iTunes Store was so overloaded it either errored immediately or timed out. Really Apple and O2, you should have seen this coming and adjusted your infrastructure accordingly :roll:
However, I have finally got it activated and it synchronised effortlessly. So I'm happy! Sorry for the rant... the tiredness has just caught up with me :-)
