Description:

Standard 32GB 3GS iPhone. Read below (especially the highlighted note) for details.

CONTENTS:
+ Original box (including the manual / SIM tray ejector pin / even the plastic coverings!)
+ Original Apple Dock and original USB/charger cable
+ Additional non-Apple (cheap eBay ones. Mixed results with sync, but charging works fine).
+ UK charger plug (original Apple one)
+ Zagg screen protector (for front glass). Read up on this, it's not an ordinary static screen protector, this is the bees nuts. You can scrape keys off it and it'll "gel" them out within an hour or so. Fingernail scrapes gone in seconds. Note, I've never had this in my pocket with anything else (like keys)!
+ Zagg leather skin (for back)
+ Headphones / wired hands-free (original Apple). Used for testing only, so contamination should be slight!

THE GOOD:
+ This has been used primarily as a development phone, but I've taken good care of the battery as well, so it's got it's periodic complete discharges (even if that is more a myth with Li-Io)
+ It is network unlocked by o2/Apple (will work with any compatible 3G SIM/network). It has never been jail-broken.
+ It is only 10 months old so is still covered by warranty. If there is any issue dealing direct with Apple, I'll deal with them (as the original/only owner) on your behalf, no hassle. I can provide proof of purchase copy (with some details blotted out).
+ It has been well looked after. It has always had a screen protector (so I guarantee the glass is unblemished), and has never been dropped.
+ There are no issues with the Home button (common fault), or any of the other buttons for that matter.
+ Has the latest iOS 4.0.1.
+ No issues to report, has worked perfectly.
+ You are buying from a regular boards.ie user, who uses his real name and whose contact details you can easily find online.

THE BAD:
+ **NOTE** The dog! Yes the dog got to it, but only briefly. There are 2 bite marks on the back. 1 visible one near the headphone jack on the back. 1 less visible one on the opposite corner. Because the skin is on the back (and is worth a bit!) I've just peeled back the more visible bite mark to photograph/video. Given that you can't see the marks in their entirety, I'm willing to take the phone back for €20 less than what you paid (to cover travel, new skin and skin application time) if you peel of the skin and decide it's too bad. I'd prefer to at least give potential buyers the option of having the skin (and take my word on it / see the videos I'll post later to show them), before I consider removing the skin to get better photos.
+ The headphones have been used, but only about 3 times for testing only (I've used my own headphones for iPod use after that).

COMPARE:
+ When comparing price, please note I have reduced the price to take in to account the dog bit damage
+ This phone is officially network unlocked by Apple (via o2) so there are no warranty issues associated with jail-breaking, etc.
+ This phone comes with very high quality screen/back protectors
+ I'm not an anonymous seller who can disappear if there's any issue.

DELIVERY:
+ I'd prefer to meetup to show the dog bite / make sure you're happy with the purcahse. Liffey Valley suits me best, but I can do city centre/Blanchardstown SC/Red Cow/The Square for serious buyers.
+ I can ship within Ireland for €15 (courier signed-for delivery) with prepayment (payment will need to clear) via EFT.
+ I can ship abroad if there is too little interest within Ireland. Please contact me for shipping rates (ranges from €20-€60 ish).

DISCLAIMER:
There are dog bites on this phone (read above!). This phone is being sold elsewhere. Highest bid (within the rules/asking price) does not necessarily win (bonus points go to

Thanks discombobulate.. I'll wait a bit before I decide, thanks. I really would prefer the meetup part (just so there's no misunderstandings about the extent of the bite marks). So, I'm not rejecting the appreciated offer just yet!

discombobulate, is that offer still open (can be in Harrolds X from 7.15 to 8.30 ish)?

cgarvey
cgarvey says 29/07/2010 5:21 pm (1 year ago):

Sorry discombobulate, I meant Rathmines, not Harolds X. Same difference for me, anyway.

Now that the photos / videos of the damage are up, I'll now consider offers. Thanks!
