Can I activate the iPhone 3G via iTunes, like I did with the original model?
The activation process for the iPhone 3G will be different from the original iPhone. Users will need to activate the phone in an O2 or Carphone Warehouse store, a process that should take about 15 minutes on average. Activation via iTunes will not be possible with the iPhone 3G. Because of that, you will not be able to buy an iPhone through the Web sites of either O2, Carphone Warehouse or Apple. That said, we expect sales through Apple Stores at some stage.
