Whether you can’t afford an iPhone (what are they? like $7 now with a 10-year contract?) and want to look like you can, or you need a prop for a photoshoot or something, iPhoneDummy.net will sell you a non-working iPhone 3G display model for just $19.95 with free worldwide shipping. The iPhone ‘dummies’ as they’re called feel and weigh exactly like the real thing, but don’t contain all the electronicy bits inside that are necessary for them to turn on, make calls, etc. And if you send them videos or photos of your iPhone dummy “smashing/crashing/trashing/microwaving” you’ll get 25% off your next order!

You can go to AT&T's website and get a refurbished one cheap. I buy everything refurbished and have not had even one problem.
again… i'm failing to see another use for this product. though i am entertained by the thought of someone trying to be cool and pretending to talk on one of these. hahaha, yeah. well, i suppose someone could pick up one of these and the internals of one that has a busted outter shell and make a functional one, assuming that the touch screen still works.
If the touch screen capability still works, I so would have bought one of these. It's exactly what I needed, oh about a year ago, for a school project.
“smashing/crashing/trashing/microwaving”
…..'Nuff said.
Oh wow. I sure don't need one of these.
Damn!
I know I should have held out!
Hmm… I wonder if there's a market for “decoy” iPhones – let thieves take the dummy while your real devices stay hidden.
Oh thats great I always wanted these.
Perfect timing for Christmas gift… 😛
