Mock unboxing of the iPhone
Seriously, when was the last time people were so stoked about a gadget that they actually went to the trouble of designing fake packaging (and a fake gadget, too) just to live the unboxing sensation a few months early? Note the not-so-well-glued paper printout decals -- c'mon man, those are the details Jobs would pay attention to.

hahaaa
Does anybody have a job anymore, or what?
perhaps the most idiotic thing i've seen on engadget...
LMAO. That's fucking hilarious....Yea, I want an iPhone like NOWWWW! But I'm prolly gonna get it off one of those freebie sites instead of buying it...I WANT IT NOW!!! INCOMPLETE SOFTWARE AND ALL!
freebie sites?? what the hell have you been smokin'? the iphone ain't ever going to be on a freebie site. i don't see the prices dropping below $300 with your 3 sensors, multi-touch and apple design.
no, you better be saving your pennies otherwise you're s.o.l.
i'm going to have a good laugh come june when so many fan boys have to do without because papa jobs priced this thing out of most people's budgets.
The following treads at engadget: "playing with iPhone", "f..king with iPhone", "sleeping with iPhone"...
Just when you think Apple fanatics cant get any fruitier....
Ha ha, this was great. It's nice reading an article like this
This guy went all the way! look at the read link http://www.iphoneunboxed.com/
C'mon - look at that guys's watch - I'm tipping this is not the first time he has excitedly unboxed a gadget!!!
Apparently, in Apple-ville, it's always 9:41.
That's not an Apple fanatic... He's running Windows on the flat screen.
Notice the Windows desktop in the background?
And you would've thought this guy was at least one of Apple's bitches (read fanboys)
Granted, iPhone is cool, but at this rate, come june, iWon't give a crap about it....
So I guess the phone is on while it's in the box?
BTW, here's a good article that shows that Cisco's case is not as bulletproof as people think, despite Apple's recklessness.
http://www.macworld.com/news/2007/01/11/iphonedispute/index.php
Oh, if you search: +iphone +cisco -apple on Google, you get about 330,000 results. But if you search: +iphone -cisco +apple, you get more than 18 million results. All these results did not magically appear overnight after Steve Jobs' announcement. And it is really about whether confusion ensues in the minds of consumers.
Let the fun begin...
lol
OK, I'm officially sick of the iPhone. I don't even want one anymore.
"BTW, here's a good article that shows that Cisco's case is not as bulletproof as people think, despite Apple's recklessness."
Have you even read the whole thing? About 60% of the bottom article is about many, many people saying Apple will be shelling out the cash and will blatantly lose the case.
ewww...windows xp running in the corner? Blasphemy!
It has the magical ability to be stuck forever at 9:41
plus its amazing how its on when you open the box!
i wish my gadgets did that
I heard that Jobs rejected the previous versions 12:00 - 9:40.
I'm getting sick of the iPhone. Or I guess the Apple phone. Cisco's got it in the bag.
You have to remembmber theat apple fanboys are stupid enough to pay 1100 dollars for a laptop with 512MB of RAM and no DVD burner, and 1,000 dollars for a desktop iMac with only 512MB of RAM and no DVD burner.
Theres too many of these geek fucks gettin around with these dub fuck flash watches these days imo..
any1 seen the south park wow episode?
"he has absolutley no life"
stupid iphone...even if i do play wow and i am a geek
Are those dimensions correct? It looks smaller or nearly the same size at the BB Pearl? If it is that small I'm gonna change my mind and get the first version, after reading Steven Levy's article. I'm pretty sure now that it will read PDFs, Word docs, and some Excel files. Jobs, said their is a tray for the sim card on the top... WHERE????
Notice the PC in the background... Does the iPhone even work with PC's?
like the song "its five oclock somewhere"
except for geeks now "its 9:41 somewhere"
on all the images, 9:41. even the (should be) separately timed individual shots. unless they are uber quick in taking all those pics in under a minute. not likely. :P
Impulse
Rman: yes, the iPhone will work with PCs
I wonder if Steve Jobs is sitting in his penthouse right now laughing
Nice job engadget. And he told me my photos were exclusive. Boo-hoo.

I guess it was up first and maybe you just read my site. Then again, who doesn't? (oh yeah, everyone.)
Like the poster Ryan - I thought it was funny and totally classic. Especially if you didn't know. And yeah I know him, and yeah he is an Apple-holic.
My guess is the PC is the camera owner's not his.
HAHAHA! What a goof ball. I love his sense of humor.
People need to stop taking him so seriously, it's not like he's seriously trying to pass this thing off as a real iPhone... just look at the tape on the fake iPhone closeups. That's hilarious!
He's mocking the fanatics! Classic!
They could atleast have used glossy paper on the phone
It's not always 9:41, he was just so elated to get his iPhone he did that all in under a minute. I mean wouldn't you if you got an iPhone?
Oooh I was just thinking about iPhone eBay scams haha
Don't you think engadget should stop calling this product "iPhone" since Apple does not yet own the name officially?? Fanboys need to stop getting ahead of themselves.
Better call it the ?Phone, for now.
I never understood the whole "unboxing" thing any way. Some one gets a tech gadget and people want to see them take it out of the box? Well I guess engadget will get an iphone and take pictures of it so everyone will know that it comes in a box and has paperwork with it and that it looks just like Jobs said it would. I will be on the edge of my set for that.
Anyway I think I will pass on the iphone thanks, I like my 80gb ipod and normal cell phone. Both do what they are supposed to do just fine. Plus the ipod has a higher capacity than the iphone and I can watch videos on it and hook it up to an video output. Which I don't think you can with the iphone, also talking on something that looks like that looks a little weird to me.
Could anyone tell me what wrist watch he's wearing, from the pictures I like it, and maybe want to buy one :-)
Hahahaha
I am getting really confused about the iphone. Everyone is so geeked up about it, but I must be missing something because I don't see where it will out-perform other phones. I check engadgets blog about 5-7 times a day and have read most of the posts about the iphone. Am I understanding right that no 3rd party software can be developed for it? I currently own a blackjack and I really like the fact that you can find a multitude of software to run on WM5 platform (although selection is limited in the games area for the blackjack).
I am sure the phone will rock like most of Apple, Inc. products, but someone indulge me please.
Thanks
Silly... Apple has clearly demonstrated that black and chrome is the new white. 'Sif they wouldn't make their packaging reflect that.
Get. A. Life. The only thing lamer than this guy is that this actually made it onto Engadget.
Anyone know what watch he is wearing????
