Here it is, the most important posting on Trend Hunter (today) The iPhone unboxing. A man from Portugal got a 8GB iPhone, 3G, in advance of the 7/11 official launch. He said he didn't pay anything, but refuses to identify his source. Waterboard the man, I say. We must know the whereabouts of this rogue iPhone leaker. He likes the internet speed, calling it "really good." But he can't sync it with his PC because iTunes 7.7 isn't release

Internet access speeds are "really good," according to the poster.
