First dibs on my iPhone 3G 16GB
Going to be putting the my 2 year old iPhone 3G on ebay soon. It is 16 GB version. It is jailbroken and unlocked now so you can use with any service that uses a sim card like t-mobile and verizon. you can use it on at&t as well, contract free though you will need their data plan as well as service. It is running ios 3.1
They start at $200 on ebay and go up.
Of course if you don't mind or can get a new contract with at&t much better for you to get a 4

Now, let's say I have a real basic plan (T-Mobile), can I still use most of the features of a phone like that or do I have to have all sorts of extra service plans and stuff to utilize all those apps and such?
I know it sounds crazy but I currently only use my cell phone to make phone calls (and even then not all that often LOL).
Would ya take $20.00? LOL

Artie, already have it.
Marc, for $20 i will answer your question LOL
you use many of its features but if tmobil figures out you have it, they will likely hit you with a charge for a data plan. If you already have a data plan, no problems

It really depends on your usage.
#1 thing is the speed. if you are in there 4 or 5 times an hour, you will appreciate the new processor and memory..especially if you are coming off of 3G or the first edition.
#2 if you are on 4 hour flights like I am and are watching hours of video podcasts, you will appreciate the screen. If you are not watching movies and stuff on it you still will but not so much.
#3 Cameras and facetime. If you like taking self portraits or know someone with an iphone 4, ipod touch 4 or a mac with face time then you can take advantage of video calling. I you don't like being seen, and that is why you call instead of visit then not so much.
#4 Retina display or what i call marketing hype...it is realy really clear. Again, if you are in there a lot you will enjoy it...if not then not.
If you are using the phone like a phone and not a handheld computer, you will be okay not upgrading.

ps you mentioned verizon above, no sim's on verizon and no iphones (yet). The phone will work on T-mobile but on edge, not 3g.
