The iPhone 3G launch hasn't been without it's problems.

-The overloaded iTunes system has brought activation to a crawl.

-AT&T stores are selling out the device in two hours in some places leaving those in line without a shiny new toy.
 
-Apple Store employees stuck on hold with AT&T employees.

-Customers who've been allowed to leave with un-activated iPhones are having issues with the iPhone itself not working correctly.

-AT&T account issues you learn about after standing in line for a few hours.

Yeah, it's been a tough day. While standing in line for an iPhone, at the Apple Store, I learned that I had to go to an AT&T store to get an iPhone because of an account discount issue. At that point, all the AT&T stores in the area had sold out of iPhones. It's not that big of a deal to me, but I could see how someone could get mighty upset at the situation.

Have a story of iPhone woe? Drop it in the comments. Think of it as a virtual therapy session.
