There is a new purchase program from Apple to save iPhone buyers from the frustration of standing in queue to purchase iPhone 3G, specially during the forthcoming holiday season. Buyers can complete the purchase process from home and collect the device from Apple Stores of their choice and bring home a fully activated device. The process is simple and you are provided a step by step instruction:

1. Enter your credit card information, billing address and other necessary details. You can go to the next step on getting a successful credit approval.
2. Review your eligibility and pricing.
3. Select your preferred data plan
4. Review your order. Specify the preferred Apple Store from where you want to pick up the device and the date and time.

After you are done, you just need to walk into the Store that you have picked for in store activation and for other assistance that you may require for personalizing your iPhone.
