Right, so you either need to have sighted assistance to choose Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> VoiceOver on/off. Or, if you have Voiceover turned on when you sync the phone to your Mac it will turn VO on in the phone. Once you have VO turned on, assuming you have or will updated to the 3.1 OS rev, you should also turn on the triple-click-home tap to turn VO on and off which is also on the Accessibility settings pane.
