Bricked!
To my friends with iPhones: WAIT TO INSTALL 2.0!
Apple is doing a remarkably bad job with rolling out version 2.0 of the iPhone software. I made the mistake of “upgrading” this morning, and my phone is now bricked. It looks like the cause is server load issues at the itunes store; apparently connecting to the store at the end of the download/install/verify process is required, and since the connection times out the phone remains unusable. This is being widely reported so I know it’s not just me. Come on, Apple, get it together!
Anyone trying to call me today, please use my home phone.
