I ordered an iPhone for my birthday on Sunday and it has been delivered to the AT&T store today. I was wanting to know if they open the box of the iPhone while we activate my plan at the store? The reason why I am asking is because I really want to open it at home for myself (I'm sure all Apple fans know why).
Got a tip for us?

AT&T may let it slide more so than Apple. Just ask them, they may let you open it at home.
You may have to settle for opening it yourself in the store.
That's what I did at the Apple Store with my iPhone.

And lame!
No it's not!
It's one thing that sets us apart from the beige-box users out there that don't have any pride (because they have nothing to be proud of).
Unboxers rejoice! Keep filming, photographing and posting!
Cheers.
You'll have to open it in store but the jackass in me thinks making a video or taking numerous pictures of the whole unboxing process in store may be entertaining. You're about to embark on at least 2 years of headaches from AT&T, that additional 10 minutes you may need to make your video or photo essay may be annoying but it is your 10 minutes compared to their 2 years! I say do it, and do it with pride.
i unbox purchases of apple products, go check out my youtube in my signature.
but to the OP, on day 1, some telco companies who sold the iphones had problems activating them so they sent the buyers home to activate, just ask nicely, they might let you. you never know...
i was just joking about doing an unboxing video
i'm only interested in unboxing videos if they're for a product that is unreleased or just released
actually videos are always really boring and the people unboxing are annoying, high quality pictures are better

I Don't know if the policy has changed, but when I picked up my phone, they put the box in the bag and sent me on my way. I actually had to ask them to open it and activate it in the store, which they did so happily - I just wanted to make sure I didn't run into any problems while activating. I also found it funny that they were asking if anyone needed to buy Visa gift cards to buy the phone with - I always thought you needed an actualy credit card. Mind you, this is a very busy store right outside NYC too.
