Where can I purchase a 1st Generation iPhone that isn't unlocked? Are there any online stores that sell them? Anyone on here looking to upgrade to a 3G iPhone? I have one I am willing to trade for a 1st Generation iPhone.

You can easily get a first generation iPhone on eBay, locked or unlocked. If you get an unlocked one, it probably will cost more than locked, but it can always be restored on iTunes to bring it back to factory default conditions. (Because unlocking is so simple on the first gen phone, it is a bit of a mystery that the unlocked sell for more than locked ones - lots of people don't know this I guess.) Locked or unlocked, they are still going for something of a premium over the 3G, though. Plan on paying something like $250-350 for an 8GB phone. If you are patient, you may do a little better.
 
I bought a sealed first gen iPhone on eBay. It was an Apple refurbished 4GB iPhone (one of the ones that quickly sold out on Apple.com). I'm glad I got it... it's my backup iPhone now.
