Q: My iMessage still says "Waiting for activation..."
Updated to iOS5 around noon today. My iMessage still says "Waiting for activation...", someone told me there was a email I was supposed to receive. I never got one. How do I get Apple to resend said email, or more to the point - activate iMessage on my Telus iPhone 4?

Well folks, it took over 12 hours, countless failed Google attempts but finally, I got it to work. Evidently it was a bad install, I used iTunes to do a factory restore and it both FaceTime and iMessage worked in a matter of seconds.
And yes, the mention of a email requiring activation is total bulls****. I'll thank my friend for that later.
