I left post 71 last night and I am glad to say as of 6:10PM the server has risen. (East Coast, USA)I can now download apps to itunes as well as straight from my iphone. The location things that pops up is obviously meant for iphone 3g but I dont have it. There is suppose to be a way to turn that off so it doesnt look every time you open a utility but haven't figured that out yet. good luck to everyone else out there.</p> OK!!

Well I now have a nice new 2.0 update to my 2G iPhone. YAY! But it hesitates with gestures and closing apps, even after 2 restores. To top it off we still can't get our apps that made this update most wanted for those of us who won't benefit greatly from push for MS servers. Thanks Apple, you had to be greedy and couldn't give us early adopters a one day gift, now look how stupid you look. Hooray Steve Jobs</p> 2:29am.

Everything seems to be working, all my contacts, pictures are there, email is quick. I wish Apple would issue an apology. I think after this Big incident, they won't do such a double release again, I seriously hope. Happy to have my phone back.</p> Mine started working at 12 pacific time,as I pretty much had given up.
