Did he connect the phone to iTunes with or without a microSIM Card?

Well, when I turned it on, it shows:

When I connect it to iTunes it shows:

So I'm pretty sure you need a microSIM card to activate the iPhone. I am guessing it might work with microSIM that is not active. (Eg. You cut your old SIM card to microSIM size and activate the phone.) Anyone has tested anything yet?

I wonder if it makes a difference it I activate it with my UK SIM or Maxis SIM.

If you're on Celcom, it takes a while to activate since it's technically not a supported telco. Give it time. If it still persist, try reseat the simcard. Make sure when the sim is inserted and slotted in, it is not floating on top of the edges, I had mine like that once and the sim contacts doesn't register a connection because of that. Make sure the sim is properly cut, but also makes sure that it is not smaller than the tray slot, it'll be jangling around in there, or worse, slip out of the tray and end up lost in the sim slot.

Worse come to worse, get another iPhone 4 user and borrow his sim tray. I did that with beavis68 during our iPhone 4 activation and it solves the "No Sim detected" issue. Once you've activated, you can just return the sim tray to its original owner and use back your sim tray.

Good luck!

Upgraded to MicroSIM at Maxis Center for RM25. The iPhone 4 is now activated. Both calls and data connection work flawlessly (Someone was saying that Maxis MicroSIM is for data only? Thats not true..) By the way, thanks very much for your advice, stringfellow =)
