IPhone Registration And Activation Screenshots
There's a couple of gotchas in the registration process for your new iPhone. First off you'll need to upgrade iTunes to version 7.3, which curiously, doesn't show up in the Software Update Preference Pane on OS X, nor will iTunes detect a new version when it launches. Instead you'll have to head to the Apple iTunes download page and run the installer manually.
One odd thing in the installer, if you hit the "advanced" button you'll notice that there's a grayed out option to install the "iTunes Phone Driver." Since it wasn't selectable, I just reverted to a "easy" install and I was still able to register and activate the phone without incident. Still, the presence of the driver should get the rumor mills going (if you have an explanation drop it in the comments below).
Here's a shot by shot walk through of the registration process. It's actually quite simple. It took far more time to grab these shots than the actually do it. And don't let the rumors of 20 minute delays put you off, it took about three minutes.
There's the curiously useless driver.
It actually took considerably less than three minutes to activate.
There's an auto sync option, but since I have considerably more music than the iPhone can hold, I went for the manual method
The main iPhone screen. The setup mirrors that of an iPod with tabs along the top for all your different sync elements.
The main sync screen for email, contacts and calendars.
Syncing music by playlist.
Syncing photos. I don't use iPhoto, so not much to show. There doesn't seem to be an option for Aperture even.
