So, um, does anyone know if we still need to use iTunes to activate a new 3G iPhone? Is it still only functional with a blessed SIM card? Or can we finally have SIM freedom and a normal (as in like every other phone) activation process?
HP's Jon Rubenstein told us that his company wanted to veer in a new direction, and veer it surely did -- the HP Veer 4G will arguably be the smallest fully-functional smartphone on the market when it goes on sale May 15th.

Nothing's changed in this department.
You still need to use iTunes. You cannot swap out the SIM like for a Nokia. Apple will make sure you pay the extra.
Happy days.
