I have you beat. Updating my iPhone to the 2.0 software bricked not only my iPhone, but my laptop. After attempting to apply the update I got an error that said "battery is not charging" and now my battery is permanently stuck at 3%. What's more, I didn't know the problems were due to problems with the activation servers so I did a factory restore of my phone. Now I risk losing all my notes and map locations if there is some problem with restoring the data. To anyone with the original iPhone: Don't update! Since the problem is with the activation server and not the software, the probability of your phone being bricked is 100%. (You need to reactivate your phone before it will work again.)

  Click on any other header in iTunes, then back to 'iPhone' to retry. I had to retry for about 30 mins, but now all is good in the world :)

  I got greedy yesterday and manually installed the iPhone 2.0 update. It worked, but since I did it on my work computer (which I was not synced to) all of my data was wiped. Luckily I had grabbed my photos before I tried that.

  This just happened to me too. Though after the update it automatically did a factory restore... is that supposed to happen? http://thestandard.com/news/2008/07/11/breaking-iphone-purchases-are-totally-screwed-every-imaginable-way http://thestandard.com/news/2008/07/11/breaking-iphone-purch... Apple totally blew it today.

    Well technically it's AT&T's fault, but it still reflects very poorly on Apple that they weren't able to foresee this. After all, even the coverage viewer takes about three minutes to load: http://www.wireless.att.com/coverageviewer/ http://www.wireless.att.com/coverageviewer/

FWIW - I had a JB iPhone. I reset it to factory 1.1.4 (w/ backup). Then I manually installed the early 2.0 release. During reinstall, process stopped so I could answer the phone (2x). All seems to work fine. Disclaimer - iPhone fan. Not in any rush to get 3G.

Heh, this is why manually installing the leaked update before everyone bangs on Apple's servers is good :)
