iPhone prototype on eBay.. for a whopping $2K!

By March 10, 2009No Comments

Trust me, this’ll be the most expensive (two) phones you’ll ever get, unless you manage to get the second iPhone to turn on, which the eBay seller is willing to let you try. The details are below.
No seriously. It’s real. Check out the video below.

Phone #1:
-Powers on OK – GSM service works
-Plastic matte screen (see pics)
-Serial number YM649xxxxxx which corresponds to a factory in China, manufactured week 49 of the year 2006.
-Runs iPhone OS 03.06.01_G (iPhone Launch OS 1.0 was version 03.11.02_G)
-Good cosmetic condition

Phone #2:
-Doesn’t turn on (tried leaving on charger for awhile, along with various reset procedures)
-Glass screen
-Serial number YM650xxxxxx which corresponds to a factory in China, manufactured week 50 of the year 2006. (The iPhone was announced on Jan 6 2007 and release June 29 2007.)
-I replaced the battery and still doesn’t work.  Currently apart right now, can leave as-is for buyer or reassemble.
-Has various scratches, it is in fair cosmetic condition at best

Josh’s Verdict: So, got $2000 handy? Head over here then.
