There have been many rumors floating around about whether or not new iphone users will be able to go and buy their new iPhones and activate it at home on iTunes. There was speculation from an article posted today that there may be a possiblity you can still activate your new iPhone 3G at home. Under AT&T you may be able to sign an intent to obtain a two year contract, and then take the phone home and activate it through iTunes. The only alternative to speeding up this activation process in the store would be the following:

"customers may be able to agree to terms and select a new rate plan at home before July 11th, and then print and bring with them on July 11th a document that AT&T and Apple reps can quickly scan and verify before handing over a new iPhone. This would speed up the first-day sales process and function similar to the $100 iPhone credit coupon offered following last year's iPhone launch."

Though nothing has been confirmed, many rumors will continue, AT&T is expected to release finalized details closer to July 11th.
