After talking with the rep I called the store back just to let them know about it. They guy I contacted talked to a manager who went and presumably called someone higher up then called me back to apologize. They offered to have it ready for me to walk in and grab one but there was no way I was making that trip again anytime soon so I just placed the order online.
BTW- shipping isn't free even though the site says: "
Free shipping. Free returns. On everything." It's only $10 for overnight so it's no deal breaker but it's not free.
Back to the topic at hand though, yes- you can get one without activating on AT&T... myth CONFIRMED!
