So I successfully pre-ordered, and I'm going to pick up my brand spanking new iPhone4 today at 7a.m. sharp. I'm a little confused about whether or not I need to un-jailbreak/restore my iPhone3g before going to the Apple Store. In the email I received, it says
When you come in to pick up your iPhone 4, you'll be directed to a line for those with reservations. We'll have Specialists ready to transfer your contacts, set up email, and help you get apps so your iPhone is just the way you like it. We look forward to seeing you at the store.​
Is this mandatory? In all honesty, I'd prefer to just set up my iPhone4 as new. Hopefully they'll just let me activate and leave. I know I'll lose all my jailbreak apps for some duration of time, but that's fine. I don't expect it to take the Dev Team long.

so... any advice? :confused:
 
They'll let you leave after they open it and connect it to your AT&T account.

Not mandatory.
 
cool, thanks for the quick replies! I didn't think they'd FORCE me to stay and let them set up my phone, but you never know these days...
