Link to Thread over on Sold. It's brand-new, Unlocked and still factory sealed.

I'm also having a garage sale (again) this Saturday to finish clearing out the stuff we didn't sell last time. More info here!

Fair price - good luck.

Cheers Billy. I would've used it, but have too many damned phones already as it is..

I was tempted but I'm nervous about job security, ahahah. Have to save $$$ to fund my lengthy time off.

It's good though, you won't have probs moving that I reckon.

That doesn't sound encouraging Pinky - your work throwing around the R word a bit at the moment?

Nah, there will be no redundancy. There will be dust and perhaps a wisp of smoke. I'll survive at least until June currently. Just the nature of my business. It goes up, it goes down. If it doesn't go up enough in the good times then you don't save enough to survive the down times. That's what's happened in the last three years in a nut-shell.

Ah thanks Dan, much appreciated! (Will update the original post with that link)

I told you, take my offer of fiddy bucks. :(

Sounds kind of like me, a couple of months ago work just stopped dead. There was no gradual decrease it just stopped. There's usually jobs piled up & overflowing out of the shelves but the last 2 or 3 months there's been nothing. :(

Also why are you selling the phone and how does the unlock work if it's still factory sealed? I take it you don't need physical access to unlock it?

Sure, as long as there's a Macbook coming as well to make up the rest of the $850 :D

RE unlocking - Apple sell the iPhones unlocked if you buy directly from them. There must be some software lock that Apple apply when they ship to specific telcos.

Because he's a prick and his work gives sweet phones as bonuses. Come back to Hellstra DJ :D

Spook: I've got an iPhone here for sale?

Apple keeps a massive database of all the iPhones and their lock status. When you request it be unlocked through your carrier, they send a request to Apple to say "please make this IMEI/Serial # unlocked". When you get the SMS to say it's done, you plug the iPhone into iTunes and do a restore - At this point the phone is then unlocked and you can use any USIM in the phone you want.

Thus as I've had the unlock request already processed (like Syco said - advantages of working for a Mobile Teleco) and received the confirmation, the first person to open the packaging & do the intial restore will get the "hi, iPhone now unlocked" message. Easy.

One & only bump for posterity!

I've got an N97... although it's only slightly lower on the ball-sucking front.

Or could be an Samsung Omnia/F480. :shudder:
