I posted earlier about an eBay auction of the first unlocked iPhone which was going for several thousand. Unfortunately, some assholes made several fraudulent bids and the auction was canceled.

Good news for the kid though, apparently the founder of Certicell offered him a Nissan 350Z and 3 8GB iPhones in exchange for his unlocked iPhone. Unreal.

“Terry Daidone, the founder of Certicell contacted me this morning, and offered to make a trade for the iPhone. I traded it for a sweet Nissan 350Z and 3 8GB iPhones. I will be sending the iPhones, unlocked if they wish, to jpetrie(the first donater), gray(the reversing genius), and iProof(who is truly amazing at finding stuff online) Thanks a lot everyone. I leave for college tomorrow, and this has been a great end to a great summer. If I ever do anything more with the iPhone, it’ll definitely be posted here. Also I contacted iphonesimfree and offered to verify on this blog their claims of a software unlock. No response yet…”
