    Odd request, but I'm looking to complete a collection of all the non-S phones and the 3G is the only one I'm missing.

    I'd preferably like to buy as new - or mint - as possible including all boxes and paper manuals and naturally enough in working condition.

    Where'd be best? Rather not deal with adverts as it's full of eejits that are non-sensical.

    What you are looking for is very rare. Search ebay.com with "new" filter on, and if you could not find it, scan all the "used" items if they have boxes, cables, manuals. Even then you may not find what you want, or you may have to pay a huge amount of money.

    trawling through eBay is so irritating, click location "ireland only" still shows phones located in the US. Not to mention plenty of PoS no-name dual sim phones. This is going to be a difficult grab. I might just buy a 3G S instead they seem a little less rare.

    I have owned every gen of iPhone and looking back I would have loved to bought a second of each to put away in sealed condition I would say eBay is your best bet. Any chance of a few pics of the original I haven't seen one in a long time, pure coincidence I was just watching the mac world keynote in 2007.

    I love the manual "finger tips"
