I'm actually curious...how does that actually work.
Before you sell the phone, do you just remove the SIM?
How would that work with the CDMA version?
Got a tip for us?
Let us know

Its going to be about the 2012 iCar. I have been waiting for this. I already have my pre-order in. Cant wait.
Yea, Its white. I have been told they have a problem with the black. From what I understand, Its just not working.
Very smart idea! I just hope you don't get screwed over and have to do without for several weeks to a month. Eek. You'll sure get a lot more money that way though.
I have a 3g as a backup that I'll use for however long, though I'll be in line to get the next iPhone the day before it comes out. iPhone 4's are going around $415-550 in Southern California still so I will be able to sell mine very quickly for like $400 (especially considering it's white)
On AT&T all you have to do is pop out the Sim and put it into another device. No idea how Verizon does it though, as they don't have Sim cards.
Surely this will incorporate the new iPhone. Apart from the iPod touch, nobody cares about iPods anymore...
Sweet. New iphone and ipod touch. I wonder if the ipod touch is going to get the same 8 mega pixel camera the iphone 5 is rumored to be getting, or if it will get the old iphone 4's 4 mega pixel one. I hope the former.
Hey...does anyone know if you buy an "unlocked" iphone thru Apple....can you use it as a camera and ipod without activating it thru a phone service first? I will be travelling overseas, and i dont know what service i will be using while there, so i just wanted to start using it as a camera first. Since its an unlocked iphone thru Apple that doesnt lock me into any particular carrier, i figured i could just start using its non phone features right away....but somone said no, that Id have to sign up with a carrier first? Is that true? Or can i just use its non phone features out of the box? Thanks.

The latest rumor is that the iPhone 5 will have a Pico-projector that will be able to project a holographic landscape so you can virtually be anywhere on earth you want to be and never leave the room. iHolodeck here we come!!
They should just throw one of those 256GB Blade-SSDs in the new iPhone. That would pretty much rock.
I'm hoping for Sept 7th announcement and last 2 weeks of September release (since that's when AT&T isn't allowing vacations during that time).
iPhone 5!!!!!!
Consider yourself fortunate! I'm still hanging on to my 3G.
Ack at you guys still rocking iPhone 3G's. I'm surprised the battery isn't **** by now. I hope you guys are all rocking iPhone 5's in a few weeks
...and to think, I thought my 3GS was ancient and slow

September 7th?! Sweet!
Wait, actually... I dunno about that. Mixed feelings right now... I was really hoping for August announcement and an early September release. But if they're announcing it on Sept 7th, then it probably won't come until... late September at least, right?
On a side note, it makes a bit of sense... they said that Q3 would be affected. If they're announcing it early Sept, and releasing it near end of Sept, then iPhone sales would be filed under Q4, and iPhone 4 demand would lower in the remaining 3rd quarter.
Btw, Macrumors, I hope you'll publish that invite letter that Apple sends out to the media to cover the event on front page... that'll make my day!

Yup, looking to be an iPhone 5 owner soon enough!
But my 3GS, surprisingly, is still in great shape! It hasn't really slowed down... the battery is still going strong, all the buttons still work, and all the speakers/mike are fine! The only complaint is that there's a pixel or two in the middle of the screen that's given out
and of course a few scratches... 3GS is not to be underestimated my friend!
