Update: AT&T confirms iPhone online sales; shipping activated

I’ve just been informed by AT&T marketing that AT&T is shipping the online purchased iPhone pre-activated.  After receiving conflicting data about the activation process for the iPhone, AT&T has decided to follow suit with its other phone activation schemes and just ship it activated.  You’ve already signed your life away for 2 years…

The device ships activated, but a customer must accept terms and conditions over the phone with customer care or online at att.com (which is the same process for other phones purchased online), after which he or she will simply sync the device with iTunes to use it.

So, this is legit and we are all let down there is no removable battery as the online chat rep suggested.

More as it comes.
