Apple iPhone and related items (cont.)

I will be buying a 4g as soon as i can (my iphone is knackered and really struggling these days, but its a 3g ive had since release day)....

the question is what will i do with my old one, i very much doubt anyone will want to buy it.

Mazuma or Envirophone will buy it.

I bet you'd get more then you think on Ebay, if you can be bothered with the Nigerian scam artists. I've got around £30 a couple of times for broken Nokia's with people buying them for parts, so a working, if knacked iphone should fetch a fair bit more!

I'm going to try and shift my iPhone 3GS 16GB on eBay - if I get £350, I'd be chuffed, but I'm probably looking at £275-£300 or so, I reckon

 

[paolo]

When the 3G first shipped, 2Gs were going for £250ish on eBay.

So yep, you can get more than you might expect.

 

[stupid dogbot]

Mine has a broken home button.

Apparently, still worth over £100, though.

Are you out of contract?

I always just toss Carphone Warehouse my old one, I've never waited to the end of a contract before upgrading. Cost me £100 last upgrade (3GS) and still had 6 months left on my contract.

Yeah ive been on a simplicity rolling tariff since january............ So no contractual obligation left......

I wouldnt sell a phone on ebay...... the avforums are really good, i sold my 2g unlocked and jailbroken on there for about £250 iirc.

I'd probably do the same with my 3g, although keeping it as just an ipod in my car is tempting too.

Sell on Gumtree

HTC Desire. Palm have given me a Palm Pre on semi permanent loan, and it's fallen a long way behind the Desire/iPhone now.

Sell on Gumtree

You reckon id get more there?

I do a fair bit of buying and selling on AV and know it reasonably well so thought id just go with the safe option.....

Maybe not more but...

I find Gumtree a bit easier for electrics than the 'distance selling' that is eBay due to the £ involved.

So the next apple WWDC starts on monday

Do you reckon we'll see any anouncements?

 

[Kanda]

Yes

 

[stupid dogbot]

I fucking hope so. My iPhone is now officially fucked.

In fairness, it's lasted 2 entire years, which isn't bad going at all.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Quick question: how easy is it to unlock an iPhone to work on other networks?

 

[editor]

Under 3 mins and for £15 if you believe this site:

[stupid dogbot]

o2 will unlock a pay monthly at any time, for free.

Still have to complete your contract, though.

You posted exactly the same on Friday so yeah, I think it is

Clue is in the name of that page?? eh?

Everything is rumour till it's announced and there's a list on that page of what is rumoured to be announced....

 

[stupid dogbot]

Come on, Stevie! Sell us an iPhone... tonight!

 

[maldwyn]

Come on, Stevie! Sell us an iPhone... tonight!

And it better meet with our expectations, otherwise I'll be having a closer look at the Desire.

 

[stupid dogbot]

Tbh, it'll have to be really, really shit to make me look at the Desire.

And let's face it, it won't be. Well, it certainly won't be enough for some people, but hey.

 

[editor]

I expect the new iPhone to have the delightful industrial looks that have been leaked all over the internet, and to offer a significantly improved user experience. It'll be priced far enough of the competition to make some users look to equally capable (and more versatile) alternatives like the HTC Desire, albeit at the expense of enjoying a slightly less wonderful interface, although some will buy it anyway because it's, well, a new iPhone.

Post bookmarked for when you sell your desire and buy the 4g

I cant remember what ive done from day today, let alone posted on a message board.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Better battery life, better camera, better screen, and OS4 would make me happy. Anything else would be a bonus...

 

[stupid dogbot]

I pretty much don't care about the camera, tbh.
