What is every techie in the country talking about today? The much anticipated iPhone 3G hits U.S retail stores at 8:00 am local time today. For the 4 million+ early adopters Apple made a major firmware upgrade (2.0) available yesterday, a day earlier than anticipated.

I got to work early this morning to synch up the iPhone, make a backup and start the upgrade. Everything went smooth, albeit very slow, until it came time for the iPhone to “phone home”. ANGK!

A quick Google news search revealed that the Apple activation servers had ground to a halt after becoming overwhelmed.

Not being able to complete the upgrade, I was left with a shiny paperweight.

UPDATE: As of 3:45pm, it appears that the activation servers are back online as I have been able to complete the 2.0 upgrade.
