I can has iPhone?

My pal upgraded his iPhone to a 3G, and his carrier nicely left him the old handset. Not only that, they unlocked it for him - rather decent.

That mean that I got my greedy little paws on a first generation iPhone for a super good price.

Aside from the annoying recessed headphone jack, I really love it. I could grumble about the lack of support for Linux (unless I roll back to the V1 firmware) but I won't, and heres why.

I got a BSD toolchain and ssh server running on it! Also, I have a terminal app on it. This means that I can ssh from my iPhone to any ssh box on the network (internet), and also ssh the other way into my iPhone. I can scp files to my iPhone. I also have an ebook reader on it and really liking that. Oh and anyone who hasn't tried shazam really should - thats a great app!

The phone is in good condition, just a little gnawing on the edges. Maybe the previous owner liked to chew it?
