While in a AT&T Wireless store just a few hours ago, I was told from a sales person that the iPhone activation system was going to be down this entire weekend starting tomorrow. This person went on to mention that I should either buy the iPhone today to get it activated, or purchase it on Monday so that I would be able to activate it then and not have to wait over the weekend.

Beejive’s JiveTalk for iPhone has been released, but it is an Alpha version. Earlier reports of iPhone instant message software by Trillian Astra will not be available for several more weeks.

AT&T and Apple recently sent out a survey to ask iPhone users about their experiences while using the phone. This is in preperation for what both companies may be able to do in the future, to entice more switchers. Several key questions of the survey are about EDGE performance.

Also asked was how well users rated performance while using “iChat,” which as we know, is not an application installed by default on the iPhone.
