Default Has anybody successfully activated their new 3G iPhone today?

I got the new 3G iPhone this morning and its still sat next to my PC unable to do anything at all as its still locked. I spoke to O2 earlier today and they say the simultaneous 20 country launch has buggered them up as the servers are down. They reckon it may take 3 days to fix.

Has anybody got theirs up and running today?

The activation servers may have crashed.

It is not yet working as the 02 servers cant activate it yet, but with 8 mad kids running around the house, I am having a large drink and will wait until the wee hours to do it ...so there

I had no problems activating it yesterday afternoon but it still has not changed to my old number yet.
I was with the CPW and was told I am now with O2 and would need a new sim but he did the PAC in store and said it would take 24 hours max before it changes..
Did everyone get a new sim with the I-phone and does your new sim now use your old number??
