Can’t wait to get your hands on an unlocked 3G iPhone? Don’t want to be tied down to a post-paid plan? If this ad we saw on Alibaba is true, you can order one for a starting price of $1,000.00. The ad was posted by Union Camera Limited, but the specs they listed made me think twice about its authenticity. Unless of course they just don’t know how to post a correct and informative ad, but will give them the benefit of the doubt. Besides, this also helps justify the high price that InfoMaxx has pegged on the latest version of the iPhone, which apparently, some customers don’t mind paying just as long as they can get there hands on one. According to the post in Philmug, they’re selling the 8GB version for P61,500 while the 16GB goes for P69,500. Roughly converted, that’s $1,366 and $1,544 respectively.

So, if you don’t have the emotional quotient to wait for the local release and you’re filthy reach, then pick your poison, InfoMaxx or Alibaba?
