i previously owned an iphone, and for some reason decided i was bored with it. so i bought a blackberry curve 8310 from at&t, and sold my old iphone. well i've been missing the iphone a ton, but don't want to give up the blackberry. i'm willing to pay for both lines, so that i have both an active blackberry and an active iphone.. but i was wondering what exactly my options were. i'm currently in a two year contract with the blackberry. what i would like to do is wake up bright and early september 7th, and pick up the iphone 3g from my local best buy. is it possible for me to just pay the $299 (i want the 16GB white iphone), and add a line to my account? or would i have to pay a no-contract price? any help would be really appreciated, i realize these would be excellent questions to go into an at&t store and ask, but the closest at&t store is over an hour away.
also, all of the pricing questions aside.. i was wondering what happens when you buy an iphone at best buy. i realize no one has had the opportunity to purchase one from best buy yet, but does anyone know if it has to be activated right there on the spot? i've read on the best buy website that that is an option, that they can activate it and you can walk out with a fully functioning iphone.. but do you also have the option of going home and plugging the iphone into your computer and activating it through itunes like the original iphone? thanks again!
