Bei eBay: iPhone Prototyp mit Beta-Betriebssystem

Über Ebay, sowieso immer gut für eine Überraschung, lässt sich momentan das folgendes Angebot schießen: „Apple iPhone PROTOTYPE with Beta OS and spare phone„. Das aktuelle Höchstgebot liegt bei $70, die in den Auktionstext eingebetteten Bilder erinnern uns stark an die Gerüchte zum Diagnostic-Mode und der Angebots-Text liest sich wie folgt:

„Here is a quite rar and collectable example of iPhone prototypes, one even running a beta OS. Only one of the phones works however. Neither unit says „iPhone“ on them anywhere, or list the storage capacity which is interesting. I did some research on the serial numbers, it appears they were both manufactured about 6 months before the release of the iPhone.

The phone that works is pretty neat to use. It does make calls(with my ATT sim), and I can surf the net. However when I did get to web pages they were the mobile versions, not the rgular versions. I can’t figure out how to set a ringtone, it is just silent right now. I can receive SMS but not compose my own, other than 5 included test messages. It doesn’t sync to itunes. Camera seems to work. It has tons of testing options.„
