Should I upgrade to a custom ROM, then activate my phone, or should i activate and then upgrade?

I'd activate it first then do the custom rom. Just my opinion.

depends on the radio version u have on the phone now..i dunno if its the sme where u are but here in new zealand if i upgrade the radio i fall of the network and have to do a esn swap to get phone working again, so if you have a 3.XX.XX radio and u r not planning on upgrading the radio then acitvate it, but if you have a 1.XX.XX radio and to use custom (GPS) roms you will have to upgrade radio to a 3.XX.XX i would say wait until you have finished upgrade. In new zealand the vogue comes stock with WM6 and a 1.XX.XX radio

IMOActivate it first.Probably doesn't make that much differance cause they are just activating your phone's esn.

I'd certainly activate it first just to make sure everything works before you start modifying it.

Actually I would activate it last if you are going to change from non-GPS radio to a GPS or revert the PRI if that is needed. But both will be OK.
