iPhoneinCanada.ca has posted what they claim is a leaked Rogers Wireless internal memo explaining the Rogers iPhone 3G activation process,
which they say they received from an anonymous user. The memo mentions that iPhones will be arriving to stores in a "bricked" state,
and that a special "activation only" version of iTunes 7.7 will be required to activate the device and un-brick it.
To ensure customers can leave with a fully functional iPhone, it must be first be "unbricked". This process involves using the tether (a USB cable: see below)
to connect/sync the iPhone to a unique 'Activation Only' version of iTunes via a computer. More information about the unbricking process will be provided in training
(found on Fast Track and Sales Central) and you will be informed when the job aid is available.
The memo also says that the full version of iTunes 7.7 will be available to the public on July 11th, and that this version will also contain the special "activation only" mode.
