In what quickly escalated to the largest project I've worked on for the channel, I bought a MASSIVE lot of 300 1st generation iPhone 2Gs.... Yeah this is a big one. These phones were sold for scrap and haven't been tested at all- so I have my work cut out for me! iPhone 2Gs are also notoriously difficult to repair, so this massive bulk iPhone listing took a long time to repair!! Let's see how many I can get working and how many of these phones are fated to be broken forever... oh and I may have to give some away ;)
