Q. about jailbreaking: I’m going to Europe in October and would like to jailbreak my old 2G to use it there. But I don’t really need to upgrade to 3GS until I come back. So can I still use my jaibroken phone with AT&T for the few days (or a day …) before I leave? Then either sell in Europe or bring it back and sell it/give it away here. Or is it better to move my number to 3GS before i go? That way if I decide to sell it there, my number won’t be functional. Does jailbreaking work on a deactivated phone (in other words: upgrade to 3GS first, jailbreak 2G later or jailbreak first and THEN upgrade)?

If I keep the old, deactivated iPhone as an iPod/iTouch, can I sync it one the same computer as my new iPhone 3GS? That is, will iTunes recognize that each has a different sync protocol?

I was going to give my 16GB 3G to my gf, but when she found out that the carrier she is currently contracted to is getting the 3G S she now wants the new one. She should be able to lean on them for an upgrade being well into the contract for a crappy Nokia dumbphone. So I’ll just flog mine on eBay to get back some of the money I spent buying the 3G outright a year ago.

Gave it to my teen, wanted to try the iPhone. HOOKED IN ONE DAY (after railing me about how much I prasied it..typical). Now he wants to upgrade, so I’ll help him out (half on him) and sell the 2G on EBay. Sad to see it go though…the original one..hmmm, think I’ll keep it since it’s in pristine condition. Collectors item some day maybe?

Took back an ipod touch to store. Handed down the 3G to the kiddo. It really is a better “ipod.” Microphone for some games (balloon animals app). Has GPS & camera. 3.0 was free vs paying 10 for it on the touch.

My three year old is getting it full time, I have tons of games for him that will stay there. I’m retiring the email and phone capabilities for now.

My boyfriend is buying me the 32GB 3GS, and i’m giving him my 16GB 3G. Fair trade.

I sold mine yesterday on Craigslist for $350, which was a huge reason I am number 9 in line in Seattle right now.
