Samfish, I couldn't agree more with you.

NoA really needs to get their shit together.

Aaaand the website's gone unresponsive. =P

That just defeats the purpose of reader.mac.com...

That's why his name is Jonathan BLOW.

Lisbon, Portugal here... still can't activate. Had my iPhone 3G for about an hour now.

Still waiting on any updates regarding the activation server's status.. looks like this is a global issue.

Wow, haven't really seen TUAW mention Portugal in a while... XD

Anyway, I'm also pure Portuguese, just like José (except I've been an English student all my life, so English has pretty much become my second language), and so far, in the thread that's linked on the article, the original poster refuses to say where or how he got it early. However, as mentioned before by José, he's probably got links in the industry, either through Vodafone or Apple itself. (I wouldn't say Optimus because the iPhone in the images says "VF P", and that's basically telling us he's connected to the Portuguese Vodafone network)

Might I add that the original poster also said he'll be receiving the 16-Gig version tomorrow.

To Scott McNulty (if you're reading the comments): You might want to add that the impressions that the guy got so far are that a) the HSDPA internet connection really lives up to expectations (in other words it's quite fast), and b) the App Store isn't up yet.

He's also mentioned the fact that he can't connect it to his PC yet, seeing as iTunes 7.7 isn't out.

OK, so Nintendo first gets complaints all around the world that Nintendo games are too kiddy, now this? I agree with Alisha, we're all too sensitive. >_>

Thanks Ross for posting this up! We were starting to get some trouble at P-N because people were starting to take the interview and claim it as theirs - as well as on Digg. =P

But going back on topic, I just hope this isn't a fake, for the simple reason that the more online for Wii, the better. I personally have to say that I haven't played the original, but it is looking good so far and may consider it later on when it launches.

Blargh... I'm late. D:
