Long lines, incompetent sales people, and unpredictable weather make acquiring the iPhone an almost impossible feat. Don’t do things the hard way; By the time you’re finished with the whole activation process, you’ll feel too exhausted to even enjoy the new features of your iPhone 3G. Instead, you can spend a little extra money and save yourself the hassle of waiting in line by purchasing an unlocked iPhone 3G directly from the Red Party Crew themselves, China.

Thanks to Alibaba.com, and the ability to get an unlocked iPhone from Hong Kong carrier, 3 Hutchnison Telecommunications, the network unlocked iPhone 3G is available for a minimum order of $1,000 (Yeah,we're not really sure what that means either). The phone is being offered by Union Camera, Ltd. and is brand new (no refurbs!). Alibaba.com is also offering an unlocked version of the OG.
