Folks, you know darned well Edwin will not give you a straight answer
(activations, for example),

I gave you a straight answer. Activations for the iPhone are a
disappointment, and there has been no improvement in a month. You
MacTards want to turn that into me saying there hadn't been even one
activation in July, so that if there were is little as one new
activation you kooks could declare that a 'victory.'

No. I hate to break the news to you, but AT&T didn't call activations a
"disappointment".

"Sales of the Apple iPhone have been robust. The June 29 launch allowed
for less than two days of sales and activations before the end of the
quarter. In that time, AT&T activated 146,000 iPhone subscribers, more
than 40 percent of them new subscribers. Sales of the iPhone continue to
be strong in July with store traffic above historical levels."

And look:

"Sales of the iPhone continue to be strong in July with store traffic
above historical levels."
