Selling iPhone 3G eBay

Hey folks!

Thought I would ask this question...looking for loop holes. I am in this scenario: Pre-ordered iPhone 3G at AT&T store, was impatient and stood in line at Apple Store and got one. Now...I essentially want to still pick up the one at the AT&T store and sell the one on eBay I got at Apple to make some dough. So when I go to pick up the AT&T phone I pre ordered at the store, can I have them switch my new 3G plan to the newer phone, and can I sell the 1st one on eBay that I got at the Apple Store?
Any thoughts?

Good luck with that. The iPhone you've got now is tied to your AT&T account already. If you get a new one and want it to replace your existing iPhone they're gonna want the other one back.

Hi

I am in the UK but sure this will apply to the US too. If you get the At&T phone will you not have to sign up to another contract? You may have another iPhone to sell but will have two contracts and hence x2 charges.

Cheers!
