    Setting up via wifi prior to activating with ATT

    Does setting up a new N5 via wifi and then installing a SIM later cause any problems? If it means anything in this regard, I'll be going with the ATT mobile share plan as soon as I can get into my local ATT store; but its going to be a couple of days before I can do so.

    Shipping N5 to US Post Office Box
