If you haven’t bought your iPhone yet, and you are not willing to wait another month or so to get your hands on it, then you’ve got a way out. You’ve got eBay! The thing about eBayers is that they have gotten so greedy that they are actually making buying hot things a little tough for the rest of us. That’s their business though.

Nevertheless, you can find “unlocked” iPhone 3Gs such as this one on eBay. Now here is the thing. You can get an unlocked phone for $800. Now the question is how unlocked. I am not sure if these are the same unlocked phones sold by AT&T. Some of them probably are, and these guys are hoping to make $400 or so profit by selling these for $1000 or more. But I would be aware of the iPhones that have been tampered with. In essence, if an iPhone is changed on a software level, you always leave yourself open to having a brick when the next Apple update comes out. So, don’t go buying any iPhone that you see on eBay. I also think that buying an iPhone that you KNOW you don’t need should be illegal with maximum penalty of 2 years in Guantanamo Bay. But that’s another story for another day.
