What will you do with your old iPhone when the new one is here?

So do the hardware limitations not bother you?

Never said I'll be using it forever, I'm just not going to get rid of my 2G.

Once the next iPhone has been jailbroken, I will do an early upgrade. I will then sell my 32 GB 3GS jailbroken and unlocked with all SHSH on file, hopefully for about twice what my early upgrade cost.

Bump app development, so I can give a friend back his backup 2G that I borrowed...

I'll keep it and still use it. I still have my 3G and original iPhones that I use just as much as my 3GS.

Ahh ok. I misunderstood your post.

I will put my 3g back into its box, along side the 2g I just bought with its box, and I will buy a 3Gs for extremely cheap from someone who wants a new iPhone!! I love collecting!

I'm a collector too! I still have my first phone from like 1999-2000

As a related topic.
I did some digging around on apples site, and found out that apple care plands transfer ownership! cool!

On page 6, item #6.

(Although I'm sure all you Apple crazies already knew this.

Does this make the value go up on the phone? Since most phones on ebay are out of warranty? I would be willing to pay premium $ for a phone that still had a year left on its warranty plan.

I don't remember the exact site address but there is a site out there that will buy your old iPhones.

If I sold my 16gb 3G on there right now they'd give me $200.

I will be selling my 3G in preparation for the 4G. I also have a 1G that is jailbroke and fully unlocked. I will keep that and use that as my "beach" phone. It will also be the phone that I bring with me to Europe next year.

well since you asked.......

I currently have a 3G jailbroken and eligible for an upgrade. I also have the WiFi iPad.

I will probably just keep my current 3G after upgrading and add a line to my family plan ($10.00). Then my jailbroken 3G will effectively become my data connection for my iPad via MyWi.

Yeah it's about $10.00 more a month then the 3G iPad's data plan but it'll give me the security of an "extra" phone and the convenience of a good, stable jailbroken device that can act as a WiFi hotspot.

Anyone else doing something similar?
