It may not be "current" (an eye-of-the-beholder thing), but the 3B1 is still
supported by AT&T and can still be bought brand new with a standard AT&T
90-day warrantee and Hot Line support (hardware, software, or both).

Current market price seems to be ~2 Kbucks.

Your local friendly AT&T salesman will probably refuse to acknowledge this
fact, since it is official AT&T policy to try to convince the world that AT&T
not only does not provide this machine for sale now, but has never even heard
of it! :-) But you can call the AT&T Hotline and verify this in a heartbeat.

Or is there some very recent news that I haven't heard? :-)
