A gallery of images taken from one of the very first Apple iPhones that went on sale Friday at 6pm EDT has been posted by AppleInsider.

Now if AT&T’s system only had the capacity to activate my iPhone so I could actually play around with it. Grrr….
Yeah, looks dusty and banged up. What, did you get the one Steve used to demo in the Keynote back in January? Better get back and line and get a nice one.
What? Nobody’s taken one apart yet?
Some geek should have Linux running on theirs by midnight.
Other than the major cities, not nearly the huge line-ups predicted by all the breathless media hype. Guess it’s just a $600 cellphone after all.
Many locations (AT&T especially) have stock and nothing but crickets outside.
My activation did not complete in the 6 minute time frame that iTunes said. I got the “Your activation requires additional time” message. So after 15 minutes I called the AT&T activation hotline. They said it should take no more than 15 minutes. I am now at over an hour and I calleed AT&T again and I was told the activation may now take up to 24 hours. Boy did THEY misjudge their capabilities! I reminded the guy that this is NOT the way to start a customer relationship with 100s of thousands of new customers, esspecially with all the media focus. I now have this really really cool looking brick on my desk that can’t do ANYTHING until it is activated. Anyone else having the same problem? It appears that Tommy Boy is.
I believe that’s the residue from shipping and boxing. I’ve read previous impressions that the screen was made to be sturdy and scratch-resistant.
Looks like crap. Whose was it before they stole it?
Who would’ve ever imagined the Apple logo and AT&T’s “Death Star” sharing the same product packaging.
At least the logos are on opposite sides.

Mmmm, looks scratched. Short lines. The activation problem will work itself out, though.
hey…

And predictably, the ATT EDGE network is completely hosed. Wonder if ATT will give me a credit for my inability to use my Blackberry. Wait, are those monkeys flying out of my a$$?
Unpacking is a beautiful experience… Even better than buying an upscale watch or Tiffany jewelry. They sure know how to make a brother feel good about a purchase.
BTW, the iPhone is far smaller in real life than it looks in pictures. Much thinner than a deck of cards and maybe 3/4 of an inch longer.
I’m downloading iTunes 7.3 right now…
How about one of you lucky people take a picture with it so we can see how the camera is?
my iphone will not activate either!!!

dfamily we can’ use the camera until we activate. We cannot activate until AT&T’s computer catches up. Grrrr….
I like this comment I read at AI.
“It’s obvious that this has been under development for many years. It is very well thought out. For example the notes application has a little envelope icon at the bottom. Hit it and the email app is brought up and the note that was typed is the body of the message. Nice.”
Now those are the nice little touches I expect from Apple. Makes me feel all warm inside. That’s why I couldn’t believe simple omissions like copy & paste.
My son got his iphone. Only issue was updating the iTunes. Also needed is 10.4.10. Activation was a snap, but he transferred his old razor phone number, which was Cingular. He is very pleased, and so am I. It works very well on our wireless network.
Actually it was not Kool Aid, but Flavor Aid.
Get it right, kids!
The owner here should start a thread related to activation woes and successes.
@ octo
same story for me
24 hrs to act.
no features will work till then
3 hr wait for nothing
i expected more … but I blame att
Looks like the iPhone has a film guard, which needs to be peeled off before using. Hence, the “scratched” look.
The film on the front of the iPhone can be left on and the touch screen seems to work well (at least for the unlock feature … the only thing that works w/o activation). I am going to leave mine on to keep that fresh virginal feeling!
MW … Ten as in ten hours until I wake up and hopefully have a fully activated iPhone!
