Experience & Question..

Well my local O2 store was quoted to open and start selling the new iPhone 3G at 9AM, so I was down there for 7. There was already about 20 people there, but they were stood outside CPW. Only one was outside O2, which concerned me a little. After a few minutes, a CPW worker came out and announced no 16GB iPhones were left, so half of the crowd moved over to me at the O2 store. In the end, I reckon about 70 people were here in total.

Anyway, for the people that want to know what happens (activation and that) it's quite simple. I went in, sat down at a desk, filled in a form and was out within 10 minutes (probably one of the first few people to have a 16GB iPhone 3G in my town). They didn't seem too concerned about stock, as they were coming out with 8GBs and 16Gbs at lightning speed.

Unfortunately, O2's system has crashed and overloaded and I have to wait 24-28 hours until my phone activates, and then until monday until I am able to start recieving data.

My question is, I know that my phone is not activated, but if I connected it up to iTunes, will I be able to use the other features of the phone like Wi-Fi and the iPod as I wait to be activated, or do I need to be activated wirelessly before I connect to iTunes and do all that? I really want to play with it and can't wait another 3 days!
