This has just been sitting in a draw so i thought i'd see if anybody is interested in it. It is a USA model and was unlocked, jailbroken and running 1.1.3 firmware without any problems.

I put it into an Apple Hi-Fi in a HMV store and the screen went white, then it rebooted and came up with the message, "repair needed send to Apple", it then continued to reboot like it was on some sort of a loop.

I got it home as the battery was low and put it in the dock, iTunes recognised it so i tried to downgrade to an earlier firmware but this didn't work, it also didn't charge in the dock or via the wall adapter.

Then the battery died and i couldn't do anything with it. I bought a replacement battery off eBay and opened it up, a friend of mine and trusted member who has tinkered with many phones put the new battery in but still nothing.

It was in excellent condition at the time and i'm sure it can be used for spares, the screen is in mint condition, you never know it could be fixed i just don't know. I'm no phone expert so cannot offer any guarantees whatsoever.

It will come with the box, adapter, dock, usb cable, instructions and cleaning cloth, there is no headset. I'll include the replacement battery with tools and instructions too.

I have uploaded pictures to a web gallery which can be found here to save on bandwidth here;

I have been offered £75 delivered, just thought i would see if there is any other interest from anybody else. Just looking for cash only and i'll post to anyone in the UK with Royal Mail Special Delivery.

Please only put offers in this thread, any questions then direct them to my inbox and i'll be happy to reply. If there are any unhelpful comments then i'll ask a moderator to remove them immediately please.
