Lots of very angry people. Some have already waited 36 hours or more for their phones to be blessed. I feel especially sorry for the die hard fans who waited in line all day on Friday, left the Apple store like a kid on Christmas morning, and are *still* waiting for the damn thing to start up. And Apple's decision to brick all features on the iPhone until it's activated certainly isn't helping the situation... another place where a bit of consideration for the edge cases would have been a good idea... Have a look at this thread:
