Well...I was trying to post this before I activated the 3G, but oh well. I initial plugged the 3G in and opened Itunes and it began to restore from my 2G settings. So I said Oh Sh#t I thought it was going to update to 2.2.1, since I have it on my 2G, so I unplugged it! It did not complete the restore but it allowed my to access the home screen without activating.

So my question was did I really need to activate the 3G with ATT or could I just unlock and use on T-Mo without a contract?

But anyway I left the card in the phone to long and it completed the activation so I'm on the hook for 175.00.

Next question, my 2G speakers are broken but I am on T-Mo and never activated from last year. Can I restore the phone and use my newly activated sim card from ATT and go to the Apple Store for new speakers or am I stuck?

Thanks for your input!
