Hello, my question is the following:

If I decide to purchase a phone (more specifically a blackberry curve if that makes any difference) IN-STORE from Verizon, is it required for me to activate it on the spot? Or can I just pay the bill, and walk out with an unopened box? I ask this because I just love doing unboxings and really don't want some random Verizon employee being the first person to touch my brand new phone. Thanks!
