outages, iphones and activations

On one of the coldest days I’ve encountered yet, my loving family decided to take me to see Navy Pier in Chicago. Needless to say the iPhones being
Sold at walmart led to some apparent network outages on AT&T’s network.
It didn’t affect everyone though just those of us rocking the bold in its 3g goodness as my wife was fine on her curve. If you suffered from any interuptions, let us know, and remember, evertime an iPhone 3G is activated, a kitten is taken out….
