First Time iPhone/iTune user question

[danno1769]

So my iphone is coming in the mail today and my girlfriend is going to drop it off here at the office. I'm having her bring my laptop because a few guys here mentioned that the iPhone wont even boot until it syncs with iTunes first.

I was wondering, do I need to the internet with iTunes to get my phone to boot?

If it has not been activated, then yes, you do need internet. It'll boot without syncing, though. You just won't be able to connect to a cellular network.
