iPhone 4 activation

I'm looking to buy an iPhone 4 some time soon. I am aware that the current jailbreak doesn't work on firmware 4.0.2.

If I go and buy one now in town it'll most likely be 4.0.1, so my question is: when I activate the phone through iTunes does it force an update before you can use it?

Thanks,
Craig.

Ok, cool. I'm assuming iTunes will ask if I want to download 4.0.2 rather than 4.0.1 (if the phone does have just 4.0). Are there ways to get 4.0.1 installed?

Ah yes, found the ipsw file. Thanks.

Hmm, only one I can find is "iPhone3,1_4.0.1_8A306_Restore.ipsw" - the filename suggests that it's for the 3G/3GS, but the site that I got the link from says it's for the iPhone 4. Can anyone confirm?

Thanks.
