You know what’s almost worse than not having an iPhone yet? Having just received your iPhone and not being able to activate it until Monday morning.

That’s right, if you ordered from Optus by phone, you can only activate it during business hours, Monday to Friday.

What’s worse it that they refused to deliver to anybody but the named account holder during the day today. No spouse or other authorised person is allowed to receive the package. So I went to the damn airport courier depot after work, then got home all excited and spent half an hour on hold with four separate people to eventually be told to wait 2.5 days.

My iPhone is inviting me to make an emergency call, but that’s all.
