Selling iPhone - any danger of activating it first?

[MSUSpartan]

Selling my iPhone in an hour or so. I activated it so I can show the seller everything works and removed my sim. Any danger of leaving it activated before passing hands?

Thanks!

If it's a 3G/3GS it shouldn't be a problem AFAIK. I activate my phones with my friend's SIM all the time and it doesn't touch his account, nor leave any trace behind.

Great! I did do a restore and erased all contents/settings. I reactivated the phone and hopefully it's a new "hardware encryption" key so my old data can't be accessed.

Also wasn't sure how push notifications were affected by the activation.

Activating it with an official SIM allows the phone to receive push notifications. That's really the main reason I use my friend's SIM and don't hacktivate. Works great.
