Hello!

I'm getting the iPhone 5 and I'm selling my iPhone 4 to a friend. Is there anything I need to do to get it ready to give away? Do I restore it to factory settings before I switch to my iPhone 5, or am I able to do that afterwards? I'm not entirely sure what happens to an iPhone when it's not activated with an account haha, so I want to make sure that I can wipe my phone completely before I hand it over.
