okay, i just got my iPhone 4. It says it is waiting for activation. I upgraded from a 3G. Will I need to follow those instructions that I got in the AT&T email, about calling them or going to that activation website, or can I just bring it outside and it will activate on its own?

Has it activated yet because mine is doin the same

I am a bit scared. I live in central Pennsylvannia and the Fed Ex site says it is out for delivery in Demoines Iowa!!

Any thoughts on my potential grief?

So, I just got my iPhone 4.

I'm registering it through iTunes and it asked me if I want to restore the phone to an earlier backup (I had backed up my 3G in the last couple of days due to updating to iOS 4.0, which unfortunately never installed correctly). Does this mean that it will restore the previous version of the operating system on the new iPhone 4? Or just my settings and apps, etc.?

Edit: I guess I'll know in about 5 minutes.

Nope, it will only install apps, music, settings, mail, etc. The OS installation is a totally different restore.

BTW, got mine about 1:30 Central, connected and activated in about 2 minutes. Took about half an hour to restore from backup since I have too many navigtion apps, videoes, and music. It works/looks great!!!

Same here. I figured could be because my 3GS was still on so I turned it off and restarted iPhone 4.

Still get No Service and waiting for activation.

Any step required? Or just sit and wait? Should I keep my 3GS off?

So many questions... so little answers. :p :D

Tried activation on website... failed, called the suggested number (1-800-331-0500) then it went through with no issues. They asked to turn it off and back on in 5 minutes.

Will do and let you know about it.

UPDATE:

Activation went through... really had to call. All is fine now!

Well, its past 4:30 now. I am thinking no iPhone 4 is going to show up here for me today. I wonder if it really is "out for delivery" in Iowa instead of here in good old PA?
