iTunes activation for 3G S?

So, I haven't heard anything but will we be able to go into the Apple Store and buy a 3G S and activate at home, just like the 2G?

No, you will have to activate it before leaving the store.

02 just told me its done through iTunes.

I asked in an 02 store and they said its all done at home.

How would you have to, they aren't going to make all the people who are getting their phones shipped bring them to a store once then get them.

Also if there smart, they should make it like the 2g, in and out of the store in 5 minutes

Where is the 02 twitter? Maybe someone can ask?

That wasn't the OP's question. Read again.

In the U.S. Apple Stores, you will have to activate at the store before walking out with a phone. For those receiving iPhones at their home, they can activate through iTunes.

Only new iPhone users have to in store
renewing iPhone customers can at home

Thanks.

Guess I'll buy online then. Seems kind of silly to require activating upon leaving.
