Ok I have a Gen 1 iPhone as you can see in my signature and i like to take things apart. I will be using my iPhone up to launch day of The next iPhone and i wanted you opinion if you think i should take mine apart or sell it or give it to my mom do she can be enlightened.
 
Give it to me ! :D:p

Personnally , I would try to sell it the fastest.Before the prices go down drasticly .
 
I will be selling mine to my mom. She'll pay 200 for it, I can get a new one for 100. Win - Win
 
it's too late to sell it now. the 3g iphone will be announced tomorrow and chances are it will only cost $200 after subsidy. I mean you could probably get 100 for it if you wanted. but if you really wanted to sell it you should have done it last week cause you could have gotten anywhere up to 350 for it.

so it depends on your mom. i would never give an iphone to my mom because she wouldn't have a clue how to use it and/or want to use it. she has an old nokia block phone and she keeps it off, only turning it on when she makes a call. she has 3 numbers programed in her phone and I had to do all 3 of them... soo yea...

so unless your mom would make use of it, i'd advise taking it apart! if you know what you are doing that could be really fun!

yeah i had the same problem when i gave my mom my SLVR. She just cant use it. but the iPhone is idiot proof so maybe she could use it. I would love to take this bad boy appart.:)
