We found a quick video of the iPhone prototype that you've probably already bid on. The excitement is palpable as the person on screen clicks his or her way through menu items, checks out mobile web pages and generally does the sort of things that we imagine one does with a test unit. No doubt your curiosity's been piqued, and we don't blame you. With a current bid of $2,000 and over thirty-five hours left on the auction, this is probably as close as we'll ever get to the thing. Video after the break.
Update: Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later: it looks like Apple's lawyers had the auction (and the accompanying YouTube video) pulled. It was fun while it lasted!
Update: Thanks to our main man Steve, the video is back up... for now. See for yourself after the break.

It been pulled from ebay... apple are so boring : -(
Apple pulled down the eBay page and youtube video just like they did with the beta iPod at http://writersblocklive.com/selling-rare-ipod-2009-02 . The fact that they pulled both down makes me think the iPhones are legitimate, since Apple couldn't claim anything on a fake or spoofed product
uploaded to my youtube if it gits pulled ill just reupload it
screw apple

Hi!
I have a SE W960i prototype.
I want to sell it, and buy an HTC Magic.
Contact sztbruno gM email service:)
nice, responds almost as fast as my Storm!
Nah but really that's fast as hell if it's real. Too bad products are never that responsive after they get done loading it down with Flashy UI's and Bloat-ware.
I didn't get to see the video :(
The video has been removed because of a copyright claim by Apple. D:
Must be pretty legit, then.
can't find on ebay now
me either...apple must have whined to ebay (like earlier ipod testers) and had it taken down. last time i checked it was around $2,500.
prolly filmed with cycorder hahahaha
The complete serial number of the device was shown multiple times on video, which means it'll be easy for Apple to look up the IMEI and have it blacklisted. If this thing was working with AT&T until now, it won't be for long.
US providers don't have the ability to blacklist by IMEI. Only the UK has that.
Not to be rude, but, does anyone else think that the UI is quite ugly?
