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.

The last link was supposed to go to the actual product page. According to the product page the minimum is USD1000. Which is $1000. Sorry about the confusion. -Robbie

The PMPtoday article (third link) has it wrong. The Engadget article (second link) has it correct, according to the product page seen here.
