No, the phone is stock. I assume it's because the servers are haywire.

It could be that whatever tells iTunes what the latest release should be, isn't doing it, maybe because of server or network overload.

I'm getting my iPhone back to the pre realese 2.0
It doesn't really make a difference to me, at least I can update when the next update comes out

That may not help...regardless of what version you upgrade to, official or pre-release, iTunes still needs to hit an activation server to activate your phone. That's where the bottleneck is at the moment.

This is happening to everyone right now? It's been saying "Accessing iTunes Store..." For awhile now.

Plugged in my iPhone. iTunes came up and it did not urge or prompt me to update to 2.0. I click check for updates and it says 1.1.4 is the most current blah blah blah. Someone here said you had to manually check iTunes for an update? How do you go about doing that? Also i didn't NEED to do the pre release yesterday right? That was just for people who couldn't wait for the official release..?

I'm freaking pissed right now, I should've know better, Apple should've known better. Iether way, I've been without my Iphone since 10am today, here that's means almost 4 hours now. I lost a $4k business deal because of no access to a phone. I went to the AT&T store, they said they could do nothing, went to the Apple store, there was a line of over 100 people waiting outside still. I finally went to Best Buy and bought a Go-phone and put my sim in it. I have no contacts or anything, but atleast I can check my voicemail and people can call me. DAMMITTTTT!!!

No, you did not need to do the pre release.
Do you have the latest itunes update? Also you may be getting no response about 2.0 because the servers are so backed up. Make sure you have the latest itunes and keep trying.
