Does anyone know if you buy a Tmobile iPhone, Do you have to activate it before you leave the store?

I know you do with the contract carrier, but not sure if you do with T-Mobile.

You don't have to activate the phone. You can leave with the phone. My friend bought an AT&T model for full retail and they didn't even ask for his AT&T account. He just walked out with a sealed phone.

Good to know, thanks.
 
Not staying up to 3am based on sketchy intel. But it's approaching 1am and I'm still here, still clicking... Who's with me?
 
I'm getting close to going to sleep, I'll try for 1am and if not, hope someone finds out the magical time tonight for the rest of us tomorrow..
 
I just got excited because the website refreshed a little bit slower than normal.

Rock bottom.
 
Le sigh. I cancelled my pre-order with October ship dates for this. It's going to be a long road it seems.
 
So do we actually have to cancel our preorder to reserve a phone tonight? Thought I saw a post from someone that you can order additional phones following opening day..
