A great piece of tech history that I'm glad I had the sense to hold onto (I had someone wanting to buy it a few years back, but I declined). I'm 100% convinced this will be the kind of thing I can whip out in a group of like-minded folks in another 10-15 years and get a big reaction. Just blow a bunch of nerds away.

Looking back, I wish I'd bought two and just kept the other completely boxed-up and unused. That would be worth something one day, I think...a pristine, fully-intact (packaging, documentation, accessories) first-generation iPhone. Go on Antiques Roadshow with it!
Heck, I still have my 2001 original 5GB FireWire iPod, and a Newton MessagePad 2000. *THAT* is fun to whip out at parties when someone is crowing about their latest can't-fit-it-in-my-pants phablet. "Yeah, I said the insane size didn't matter in 1997, either..."
