Calling it the first "iPhone" is a bit silly, but I get your point...it was called the Motorola Rokr E1, and you can buy them on eBay all day long. Essentially, it was just a piece of junk Motorola candy bar phone that could connect to iTunes and had a primitive version of iTunes media player on the device. From what I've read, only the first variant of the device was iTunes compatible.
Yeah, calling it that was a bit of a reach. I'll check there, I couldn't remember the name of it. I seen a short story of it on I believe CNET, explaining the failure of it. Seemed like a poor attempt at a phone as well.
When I first wrote my response I searched ROKR on eBay and got a ton of results, but after refining the search for the E1, I could only find a couple (one english version and one Russian version). They seem to be harder to find than I thought, and honestly, the asking prices on both of them were way more than I would ever dream of spending on one. Especially since it would not work with modern iTunes software.
Ya, no kidding.. I'll pass on them. Not really what I wanna pay for something I wanna tinker with. Since its running iOS software, think its possible to jailbreak it, if I found some older hack or something similar ?

And I'm over here in shock because I had one of those phones.
Did it work out okay for you when you owned it?
