I know it's way premature to ask such a question, but I am already curious. :D
 
I don't think it matters when you ask. You can't base a purchase based on resale value for any cell/smart phone.
 
You may aswell ask an equally unanswerable question such as where did the universe come from.
 
The metrics surround the resale value of this are such that it's just way to difficult to give you an accurate picture of what the market will look like.

-Apple could introduce the 3g owners wet dream of the ultimate iPhone with every feature ever imaginable since this is an "incremental upgrade" (to them).
-If Apple tells ATT to go away and gets into bed with verizon.
-If ATT succumbs to the whining of the 3g owning population and gives all 3g owners the ability to extend their contracts in for a 199/299 3g.

We'll know in about 12 months exactly what the resale value is :D
