Introduction to Setting up an iPhone 3G

Once you’ve got your iPhone 3G home from the store, the first thing to do is set it up. If you’re upgrading from the first-generation iPhone, the process is almost exactly the same. If you’re new to the iPhone, though, you’ll find the process pretty easy, too.

NOTE: This guide is geared towards the upgrader, rather than the new iPhone 3G owner, but the process is very similar for a new set up. To get a sense of what the set up process for a new owner is, check out the original iPhone set-up guide.
