    I've been trying on and off for a good bit of the morning as I was doing stuff for work anyway.

    I'd say maybe give it a day or so, also bare in mind the time difference between here and the US they are still only getting their hands on the new models about now.

    Surely there should be no problems bring games to the Irish iTunes. I mean the American Store has Ms. Pacman, MS. PACMAN!!

    No one in O2 seems to know either. My guess is someone somewhere has exclusive rights to something or other so we get screwed, just like on the movies and tv shows.

    Scratch my last post I got the update but it's a nightmare to access the store and reactivate the iphone:(

    Pity the EU cant make a ruling that "exclusive" rights agreements like that were illegal.. it pisses me off to no end, that we still cant get TV shows that have long-since aired in the UK and Ireland on iTunes, yet we can happily buy them on DVD or *cough* download *cough.

    Does anyone actually know why this is exactly? Is some company trying to block iTunes from distributing the content here, or is Apple just trying to save on bandwidth costs?

    Same prob here ... the iPhone wants to be connected to iTunes, iTunes can't access the iTunes Store for whatever reason. So seems bricked for the moment. :(

    Hey guys, might wanna be careful with that update that was knocking around on Apple's website, some complaints about performance with it knocking around the net.

    Haha, click on 'check for updates' three times and, if it fails, it seems to revert to saying you have the most recent version. Must have patience :pac:

    Another thread here. Seems it may have been put off for iPod Touch owners until some time tomorrow (according to a poster on Apple's support forums).

    Finally managed to activate it this morning, very impressive it is.

    The push email worked faster than a Blackberry, although that might be because I'm using .mac (sorry Mobileme)

    Added a few new app's, they're running very smooth. The facebook interface is fast enough and very straightforward. Using the App store from teh iphone itself is just like using the itunes store.

    Calender looks a lot with the colour coded appointments. Haven't tried remotely syncing contacts and calender as it synced this morning through the activation anyway.

    So far, very impressed and definelty recommend updating the software.

    Hi,
    Any idea why we don't get the Games in Ireland. The Super Monkey Ball game is supposed to be the best app to show off the phone. If I switch the ITunes store to US I see tons of games, the same if I switch to the UK store. Yet the irish Itunes shows me this, which is really sad:

    Also, it a bit odd as Super Monkey ball is specifically mentioned on the Irish Apple website as the game to get for the IPhone!! Surely, someone in Apple needs to fix this ASAP.

    Downloaded monkeyball this morning - haven't really had time to get to grips with it - seems tricky though! Here's how I did it:

    Bought an itunes gift card code off Ebay ($47 for a $50 card) from a seller with good feedback - had within a couple of minutes.

    Logged out of my itunes account and changed to the US store

    Entered my code, hit the redeem button and entered a US address I got of the net (a hotel in New Hampshire - no sales tax there) also used a different email address to the one I use for my Irish account - not sure if this was strictly necessary?

    Downloaded monkeyball logged out

    Logged back into Irish account and synced onto my iphone

    Lots of games/movies/tv episodes on US store

    I was also able to download US games direct from my iphone - there 197 at last count!

    Obviously as well as breaking Apples T+Cs I've probably commited fraud too :eek:

    Well, they do state on the Website that "Some applications are not available in all areas".

    Maybe a stupid question but how can I switch time format to am and pm? For some reason this option is grayed out. Any ideas?

    Anybody know why this is? Is it a licensing issue? Or a regional payments issue? Or something else? It is a little bit frustrating that they bombarded us with "Monkey Ball" ads, got us all excited with the cools apps (well me anyway) and then failed to deliver them. Bad Apple. Nasty mis-representing Apple.

    I was one of those that grabbed the firmware update from a direct-link, all 255MB of it. The only oddity that I noticed about it, was that it changed the operator name displayed on the Home Screen from "O2 IRL" to "O2.ie".

    Anyone else notice that?

    Yeah saw that myself, bit wierd of all the things to change. Especially when the network is o2 Ireland. Maybe just trying to get the internet side of it accross to people who might not think much of its potential.
