Now you can get an early prototype iPhone 4 on eBay

If you've ever wondered how a possiblyearly build of the iPhone 4 looks like, despite not being able toactivate it or operate it in any way, now you can get yours on eBayfor over $1,700. 

The device carries a product number DF1692, a uniqueidentification given to each Apple employee, so you might also expectto get contacted by Apple, but for the time being the auction isalive and well.

Visually, the prototype iPhone 4 mimicsthe looks of the final device with the only notable difference beingthe lack of “+” and “-” signs on the volume buttons. Noactivation also means that the amount of memory on the handset is aguessing game. The seller, Jtmaxo, claims to be a licensed phonerepairmen, registered on eBay since March 2004.
