Remember that iPhone 3G I queued for? Yup, that’s it up there. Notice something about it? That’s right, O2 still haven’t activated the SIM!

I’m not some incredibly unlucky iPhone purchaser, this is NORMAL! The O2 customer forums are awash with people who either queued over the weekend or who pre-ordered through Carphone Warehouse and recieved their handsets on Friday only to find that four days later O2 still haven’t activated their SIM.

As Ewan would say, what a bunch of chumps; but who are the biggest chumps, O2 for cocking it up in the first place or me, the customer, for accepting it?
