tPhone
Back when the JesusPhone iPhone came out in June, I decided it was a little too rich for my blood. Well, four months and one controversial price drop later, look what I got:
A big part of my decision to go for the iPhone can be seen in the upper left corner of the image (also my $30 ebay phone had picked up a nasty habit of inexplicably beeping every 9 seconds). No expensive AT&T contract means I can keep my cheap T-Mobile plan and still get in on the iFun.
And after only three days of playing with it, I can definitely say it's better than advertised. This little gadget is pretty awesome.
I also mentioned last June that my AAPL stock might cover the cost if the phone was a hit. If you had bought 8 shares of AAPL the day I posted that, you could have sold it today and netted an iPhone in profits (before taxes). Not too shabby.

How’d you get it onto T-Mobile? Did you buy a hacked phone from eBay?
I need details on this, because I seriously need one of these

You’re the third person to ask me if I bought it off eBay, which makes me wonder if I should be selling them…
Really, though, there’s a couple programs out there that make unlocking a new phone (I got mine from apple.com) easy as pie. Took 10 minutes from unboxing to making a call.

I wonder what the market would be for unlocked phones on eBay. There are plenty of people who wouldn’t want to even spend the 10 minutes to unlock it themselves.
