First iPhone 3G caught in the wild, unboxed and handled

If you're a prospective iPhone 3G buyer, get ready to make a mess of your keyboard, desk, and any nearby objects that may be hit by spittle flying out of your mouth. Some lucky, lucky Portuguese man or woman has already had the pleasure of cracking open the box and booting up their new device. Feast your eyes on the above pic and one more after the break, and keep reminding yourself that you've only got three more days to wait.

Update: We've added a picture of the mysterious SIM removal tool -- the shroud of secrecy is lifted after the break.

[Thanks, siniux]

I'm getting a white one, which shouldn't show fingerprints as much. Of course, I'm going to get a protective cover too...

Oh no, how will the phone ever work with smudges on the back?

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 8th 2008 2:50PM]

Yea sure. I can handle it.

Uhhh... .this is a glorified PAPER CLIP!

How many people will be using it to take out their SIM from their old iPhone?

At any rate - black, TOO MANY FINGER PRINTS!

Vodaphone NewZealand screwed people with the data/voice plans.

I think it should be required that before Apple sold the iPhones to carriers, they should have had contracts stating that all sales will include Unlimited Texts and Data.

Wow, big deal. iPhone is going to flop in Canada with the ridiculous plans Rogers wants us to pay. Forget it! I'll take my HTC Touch Diamond, thank you.
