Well not Apple Phone Show exactly - but last night at 8PM on launch day Alex, Leo, Merlin and I did a show about - yes, the iPhone.
Apple Phone Show-specific coverage will be up later today but for now, this might help.

Okay so now we’re past the time when we speculate. Now we review. Now we share our findings and opinion.
You may or may not share mine. That’s cool with me. Contribute (positively and in a respectful, clean and pithy manner please) your opinions in the comments section. I do want to know what issues people are having so we can start researching those problems with Apple.
more after the break…

Okay - sorry folks but I had to get some sleep. I was working 21 hours yesterday. Thanks to everyone who commented. We’re turning this into a community with your help.
Our team worked VERY hard yesterday. We decided to keep the blog blow-by-blow to a minimum since so many people were already doing that. We concentrated on audio and video coverage. We’ll have the first of that coverage up today and throughout the week.
But none of it could have happened without help. Continue reading to find out who contributed…

Many new iPhone users ran home to plug in and activate their brand new phones, only to find that AT&T seems to be having trouble dealing with the load.
My pal Leo Laporte’s phone activated in minutes. Both Alex Lindsay and I have been waiting for hours and still no luck.
I’ll be visiting the AT&T store in the morning to see if they can help it along, assuming it still hasn’t activated.
AT&T had to know demand would be great. They should have planned better for this. Remember, all along I’ve said it’s AT&T I am worried about, not Apple.
UPDATE:
I called a pal who is an engineer at AT&T and he suggested turning the phone off and on and sure enough, this led to a new screen saying that my phone was activated. Try it.
Leo did a new number as did I. Alex was porting a number. It seems that porting a number takes longer because the other carrier has to complete the request. Many people are running into activation issues because of AT&T’s tight credit requirements. In those cases, you have to go to the AT&T store and provide a credit card or deposit or select a more expensive pay-as-you-go plan. Still other people are finding that porting an existing AT&T number takes about three or four times longer than getting a new number.

So after standing in line (sitting actually) for about 5 hours, my experience in the Apple Store was over in roughly 5 minutes. Apple is startlingly efficient when it comes to moving people and product, and frankly the experience went without a hitch. While we were waiting online, Apple provided people with bottled water and fresh Starbucks coffee. They also were continually doing head counts, my guess is to make sure that people didn’t end up waiting on line for something they’d never get their hands on.
