From the Register:

UK customers who queued up to get Apple's shiny new iPhone last week are still waiting for a connection as O2 struggles to get their SIMs registered and activated on the network.

According to O2, the new iPhone has seen "unprecedented demand" and "several million pounds" has been invested to ensure the processing systems can cope. Perhaps this just wasn't enough, however, as many punters buying the phone on Friday had to face a three day, and counting, wait before they could make a call.

While the problem was widely reported last week and over the weekend, it now seems to be largely restricted to customers who bought from the Carphone Warehouse site. Though some haven't had any problems, others are seeing a succession of promises broken by O2.
