Well, I had a problem.  But it ended up not being a problem.

When I just registered my Android 2.2.1 device two days ago...  As SOON as I hit the Accept button to begin the registration, it switched to "Registration Failed."  Blah blah please try again in a little bit.

Even though it failed immediately... it still registered, somehow.  Not quite sure how.  Which brings up a point.

If a failed registration can complete successfully in under .5 ms.... why does a successful registration complete successfully in, oh, say, 3 minutes?

Things that make you go Hmmmm.

I don't recall having any difficulty when registering my phone, except
perhaps that the "Please wait" bar didn't grow in realtime.  Do you
recall where the registration process broke down?
