Bypass activation..!!!!

I'm surprised it did not work; we just did that with a co-workers Eris last week.

There are other methods that some say work, I've never seen but they are reported.

Use at your own risk

- keep hitting activate and the back button repeatedly until it crashes or freezes up, pull the battery and reboot

- at the activation screen instead of clicking the android click each corner of the screen clockwise starting at the upper left (that's a Droid remedy but reported to work on G1 and other Android based devices):

- Go to a Verizon store with your phone and tell them you want it to boot up without activating

ymmv ;)
