AT&T going doooown (updated)

Got my very first iPhone ordered this morning (iPhone4 went for sale today). I may have the first order in the UK. (I called, and their ordering system was not up yet. Then while doing my email, I updated the Apple UK Store page in the background, and ordered as soon as it came online again (for some reason, probably PR, Apple Store sites always go offline before a big product launch. It's so fake).


Glenn Fleishman tweets from the US:
AT&T fail, no surprise. "Down for maintenance." Got in. Selected phone, click upgrade, and an error. Why can't they get this right?

"We're AT&T, the company that still uses Web technology from 1994 for the rich, tasty smell of failure."

Failure notice at AT&T says system error, and only call them for "non iPhone related upgrades"

Update: 
This is funny. Geek Guru Gruber re-tweeted this one, sent to him: 
"Hey man, enjoy your Wi-Fi only video calls and shitty network. Hahahaha. Faggot."

Update: 
NYT article on the matter.
