Do you remember we reported that film maker Spike Lee was first in line at the NYC Apple store to buy an iPhone?

Well, his purchase was on behalf of the Keep A Child Alive charity and this very special iPhone has been auctioned off on eBay to raise funds.

What makes this particular handset so special is not just that it was the first iPhone sold in NYC and purchased by Spike Lee, but the auction bundle also included two Jawbone Bluetooth headsets and will be personalised with a voice mail greeting from Alicia Keys.

In addition, the winner gets two round-trip domestic plane tickets and two VIP passes to the charity's Black Ball even in October where they will be presented with the phone by Bono.
