Well sure, from that guy's dirty hands!

Keep your damn hands clean! :D

That's the new iPhone security system. Just smudge it all over with fingerprints, and a record of who touched it will be preserved until the next iPhone wipe. :wink:

Is that what they mean by wipe the iPhone before bringing it in for repairs if it is jailbroken?!?

I wouldnt wanna be arrested for being an accomplice...

[soccerphysio]

The smudges on the back of the phone were the first thing I noticed; I hope it was because they were eating a bagful of doughnuts or fries as they unpacked it!

[jarofclay73]

What's that two-prong alien ears thingy in the middle? :confused:

[MeCool]

What's that two-prong alien ears thingy in the middle? :confused:

Right, I was gonna ask the same question. I'm very excited now seeing the box..It REALLY does look like the v1.

I'm very upset the Portugual dude did not get a pic of the "SIM eject tool"...I MUST see IT I MUST see IT

[patrick_83]

What's that two-prong alien ears thingy in the middle? :confused:


i think it is an outlet adapter for that country.

[anneuryzm]

That plug is whats used in Europe and in the Middle East.

[Alexander]

So now I have to worry about wiping the screen AND the back...

Unless you add a case to it, then you don't need to worry about the back:2cool:

[Lincoln]

Or you wash your hands way more than you really need to, like me.

And don't forget a CLEAR case so you can SEE your beautiful backing! :laugh2:

Ahhh yes... You have a point my friend.

[Perplex]

Wasn't there suppose to be a SIM card ejector tool?

paperclip works fine though.

Yes in the last pic I believe is the super "SIM tool."

[Lauting]

So now I have to worry about wiping the screen AND the back...

Looks like its going to be a battle to keep it nice and clean.

[crupp]

The smudges are pretty distracting, WOW!!!

As anyone seen the other pics from Sweden?? I don't recognize that screen shot. Is that a modified keypad screen for V.2.0

[Eragon]

Sounds like a viable candidate for a Hayes thread. No? :tounge:

[JoeT]

I'm almost thinking "go white" now.

[lmac630]

or you can just buy a full body invisible shield

[iconone]

nope just going white

[dwp1975]

What's that two-prong alien ears thingy in the middle? :confused:

I believe that is the European power cord adaptor.

[Youngbinks]

I wonder how he got his hands on one early. Not fair. The smudges don't seem to me as if they would be that hard to avoid/wipe away.

[kevlar08]

well it looks nice from these pictures, cant wait for mine

[Eragon]

After you drop it a couple of times, who can tell whether they are smudges or scratches. :smile:

[Youngbinks]

Very valid point. I still say that white is going to look worse after extended use.

Does anyone know the back story on this mystery man that got the iPhone early?

If you're talking about the "displayed iPhone 3G" then yes I saw those pics as well. They're a bit blurry though.

[projectdarkside]

Thats funny few seconds out of the box and the back of the iPhone 3G looks like my PSP haha!

[psylichon]

But the real question:

Does it WOBBLE?

[Eragon]

But the real question:

Does it WOBBLE?

Are we talking about a Weeble or an iPhone, hmm?

[Haruk]

what's the big deal about fingerprints? lol it still works the same, and if they really both you, they wipe right off

[Lincoln]

Very valid point. I still say that white is going to look worse after extended use.

This is true. Anybody with a white MacBook can confirm it.

- John

[juzcallmeg0d]

looks sexxxxxy. i cant wait.

im not too worried about the fingerprints on the black. theyll easily wipe right off.

[jarofclay73]

From the looks of the last pic, it looks pretty stable to me.

[iconone]

You cant tell that from the pic.

[projectdarkside]

Does the iPhone 3G rock back and forth cause of the rounded back?
-It looked pretty "stationery" on table :)

[Youngbinks]

I don't think it's going to "rock back and forth" like everyone is thinking. It doesn't seem to be as curved a back as we all initially thought and expected.

It's just expected to rock!:2cool:

[juzcallmeg0d]

AGREED! :2cool:

[Alexander]

It's just expected to rock!:2cool:

Uh-oh, Chris has puns...

[mark34]

review the mobile me guided tour... you can see that it seems to sit flat on a table without rocking. I believe it is at around the 3 minute mark

[psylichon]

Does it WOBBLE?

Ok, well if it doesn't wobble, the next obvious question is:

Will it BLEND?

[adnurahs]

WOW! Those are GR8 shots!! Thanx a lot! I can just imagine after waiting in line for an hour or two or who knows how long, how dirty and oily and sweaty wet/damp your hands will be. They should offer a cleaning towelette or something before you put your hands on the phone. After all that waiting and anticipation when we do get our grubby hands on the phone it is going to be a fingerprinty mess. I think I'll bring some towelettes with me.

[rich3327]

Blargh, my greasy fried chicken paws are going to fudge that phone up. I may just have to go with the white 16GB (though looks like there may not be any left by the time I get to it). I could always just give up my greasy food habits or just wear gloves (with one finger tip cut out) to save it from the torture of fast food hands.

chris do you know if the apple lights up?

[wildonrio]

Question. First look at this pic:

http://www.everythingicafe.com/images/stories/iphone3g-unboxed/08072008010jq8.jpg

Now tell me, does it come with TWO chargers? That's what I'm seeing here, in the top and middle compartment....

[psylichon]

Well now that you made it THAT big.....

:tounge:

Um, no. I think that's the universal PSU and the adapter for the specific country. Although if that is the PSU in the top compartment, it does look quite different from the norm.

[styfle]

What's that two-prong alien ears thingy in the middle? :confused:

the two prongs is the charger
im sure thats the type of outlet they use in portugal
http://tuxgraphics.org/electronics/powersockets/power_plug_euro.jpg
i guess its the same as the euro plug

[projectdarkside]

Yeah I hate those plugs :angry:
-Cause when my dad was stationed to Germany they used 220v, and when we move into our house the military provides "transformers" that switch the electrical power to our 110v(American) electronics. And when we moved in I was eager to play my playstation so I took some random plug transformer and plugged it in, and when I turned my playstation on it FRIED my playstaion :( I was crying my ass off, but some how my dad fixed it :laugh2:

He probably replaced the fuse or reset the circuit breaker in the PS.

[projectdarkside]

. . .probably, whatever he did it was fixed :laugh2:
-I was happy as he11 like I was only 9 years old my playstation was me best friend haha!
