yay, so I got mine this morning. However, I wanted to activate it but I am at work. My iphone backup isn't in the cloud and I would need to go home and sync to iTunes. Is there a way to just activate it now and then just sync when I get home? I'm really impatient, or should I just wait it out....I have Verizon btw...because obviously I'm so focused at work right now...

Yes. Just proceed to set your device as new. Your phone will be activated and you can always restore from a backup later.
