Bypass iPhone 3.0 Activation Server Error

Many people are having this problem after downloading the 3.0 firmware:
When you go to up date, iTunes cannot talk to the Activation server and cancels your setup. Here is a simple fix:

When you are ready to update, click update and disconnect your computer from the internet, this will allow you to install the firmware without the stupid activation server error!! For a laptop you can just hit your wifi switch off, desktop just unplug your ethernet connection. After the install begins you can reconnect to the internet.
