Yah I know, I wasn't going to upgrade to a 3G, cuz I don't even have 3 G in my area, until 2 things happened:

I realized it would be at worst a financial wash when I saw the prices the V1 phones were fetching.

I received a brand new V1 phone on 7/16 as a replacement due to a defective screen on my old one.

So when I got the new one I said damn, this has got to be worth something to someone. So I jailbroke and unlocked it, keeping the plastic on the screen and the whole thing smudge and fingerprint free and it's on ebay now, essentially in 'as-new' condition. Made it a 3 day auction and it's up to $305 after the first day. I think it's the best (8GB) phone being offered so it should do well, but we'll see. It even carries the 90 day warranty over to the next owner.

I just received my new white 16GB 3G phone today... I like it a whole lot better than I thought I would. I carefully preserved all the packing mat'ls, anticipating repeating this excercise a year from now...
