Hey everyone! I'm selling a brand new iPhone 3GS 32GB Black, the phone is locked however, a monkey could unlock the thing, I would have unlocked it myself but it is sealed.

I received it as a gift, it was purchased from a Best Buy in New York.

Post your offers and I'll gladly accept any above decent price as this thing wasn't purchased for free.

Thanks!

how about 2000dhs?

[Demonic Soul]

I'll pass on that, thanks for the offer anyway.

Im in the market for a new iPhone. Send me an e-mail at husseinabdalla@me.com if your still interested in selling it.

[rehan]

Is 100,000 dhs good enough?

[Mobeen]

hey. just a heads up for those interested in buying this,
the 3GS can only be jailbreaked once (if its firmware is 3.0 or 3.0.1) cos apple doesn't allow you too Restore ur iphone to any firmware older than 3.1! (and the jailbreak for 3.1 hasn't arrived yet)

No Jailbreak = no unlock = no Etisalat = Epic Phail

I'm looking for something around the 3K mark, less or more doesn't matter, I've got an offer for 2850 on Souq today but the problem is the iPhone is in my A.D. home, I've asked the seller if he can wait a bit, still waiting for his response.

[Demonic Soul]

Bump it till you hump it and jump it but don't pump it because you might stump it then lump it.

I'll offer AED 3,000 cash whenever you want, and i'll come and collect.

I'll PM you my contact and you can decide. Scott

[Shaolin242]

are these things honestly worth that much>?

[SideSwipe]

nope!

they're worth about $200 but Apple price them at 2-4 times their worth!

Oh and Etisalat so far only have the older 3G model and charge through the roof for one so the 3GS are overpriced even more here! :Suspiciou

Iphones and other ithingies are not just utilitarian, they are a personal fashion statement as well so they inherit a significant face value.

If someone wants be cool then they must get the latest ithingies for showoff.

the iphone was "cool" when it was hard to get. now every idiot and his kid has one!

[balls]

I lost my old 3g about 5 months ago. I didnt like it because it was 'cool' it was more the functionality and ease of use to it. I think they run really smooth, have loads of features and are much more versatile than blackberries or my old htc touch etc.

I actually disliked people seeing I had an iphone as they assume you have it as a statement or something - and im not the type of person to buy something to be 'cool'.

Still, even with the high price I think there worth it for all the functions they offer.

if I had a daughter Id buy her a pink iphone

[SideSwipe]

hahahah rehan, if everyone carried that logic then none of us could afford anything! the Ipod touch does about 90% of what the iphone can do yet is priced at less than half the iphone's price tag. The remaining 10% aren't worth much on their own.

Who needs communication abilities and 3G services and decent back design, lol, iPhone users are n00bs.

[rehan]

The point being that an iphone is not a better phone than for e.g. say Nokia if the phone function is to be considered alone. It is just that its value is derived partly by people(read n00bs) who consider it cool due to its sleek design(Personal statement). It does come with alot of bells and whistles(Utlility).

so my statement remains
"Iphones and other ithingies are not just utilitarian, they are a personal fashion statement as well so they inherit a significant face value."

The fashion statement part is getting lesser but it still hasn't vanished.

[SideSwipe]

stick a slim + cheap phone onto your ipod touch and voila! the best iphone ever! the phone features on the iphone are mediocre, making my idea the smarter choice.

thanks to n00bs for allowing Apple to extort them and they deserve it!

btw DS, why are you asking Pawan about Iphones when you 1) selling an iphone and 2) calling people who own them n00bs :wacky:
