I got an iPhone a few weeks ago, and I have yet to bring up iTunes. I got it activated at the AT&T store. Note that I couldn't just move the CIM card over, since my previous phone had a full sized CIM card, although I assume I could have cut it down or had someone do that for me. I got an Apple ID by just using the iPhone.
I'm sure I'm missing out on something without using iTunes, but since I'm running Ubuntu, I'm trying to avoid booting Windows just to run iTunes and use my iPhone.
