iPhone 3G unboxing pictures

No cloth or SIM remover?

Eww, freshly unboxed and the back of the device is covered in finger prints. That glossy black back stinks!

Glad I'm getting white.

@ thezonie:

Nope, as the back is curved. 1st gen dock is straight-backed. I've seen the new 3g dock, its moulded and sold separately.

Wow, haven't really seen TUAW mention Portugal in a while... XD

Anyway, I'm also pure Portuguese, just like José (except I've been an English student all my life, so English has pretty much become my second language), and so far, in the thread that's linked on the article, the original poster refuses to say where or how he got it early. However, as mentioned before by José, he's probably got links in the industry, either through Vodafone or Apple itself. (I wouldn't say Optimus because the iPhone in the images says "VF P", and that's basically telling us he's connected to the Portuguese Vodafone network)

Might I add that the original poster also said he'll be receiving the 16-Gig version tomorrow.

To Scott McNulty (if you're reading the comments): You might want to add that the impressions that the guy got so far are that a) the HSDPA internet connection really lives up to expectations (in other words it's quite fast), and b) the App Store isn't up yet.

He's also mentioned the fact that he can't connect it to his PC yet, seeing as iTunes 7.7 isn't out.

Hmm. Isn't the iPhone 3G supposed to come with a new, tiny power adapter?: http://www.crunchgear.com/2008/06/09/hey-thanks-apple-iphone-3gs-power-adapter-is-tiny/

Note the lack of the upright dock connector... not impressed.

As a happy 2G iPhone owner, I'm skipping this version. Check out the smudges too - the price of that 3G chip. The older nickel back is far more stylish, but would affect 3G signal loads.

Hi.
I'm portuguese and I don't know how the guy have already the iphone. Probably he works in Vodafone or Optimus. Or in Apple...
I'm waiting for a contact from Vodafone to confirm my order. And wait, wait...
These hours seems years....
