Mysterious pink iPhone 3G hits eBay, cue onslaught of rumors

Say wha'?! An iPhone in a hue other than black, white, or silver? While a red model has been rumored since before the 3G even launched, we've never thought about a pink one -- let alone one hitting eBay. The text on the back of the device convinces us that this isn't a simple ColorWare job, but there aren't any photos of the back of the packaging either. Our take? Some OEM in Asia whipping up custom colors. But hey, Macworld's just under a week away, so who knows?

[Thanks, Gav]

Off course its not a legit Apple release.
Did you guys at Engadget even bother reading the ebay description of the iphone?

It clearly says that the sim tray is black, so what does that tell you?
Its obviously a fake custom back cover made somwhere in Hong Kong or where ever, as if Apple would release something like that.

Why does it seem some people come to this site only to complain about how Engadget does its job? If you don't like it, don't come here!!!

It's not mysterious at all, it's a $10 fake back cover from Chinese eBayers...
