Resale value of 3G when new iPhone arrives?

[Phxblue]

Indy is my son. I taught him everything he knows.

Anyways i imagine the 3G will hold its value very well just as V1 has done since it can be unlocked to Tmo.

I really have no one to give my 3G to (and don't ask, unless you're family...) , so anything I sell it for will be a bonus and can help offset the $499 I'll probably pay for the new model.

What about if its not unlockable? Do you think ATT will do the same thing as last time? Im thinking they should start letting us activate them at home using iTunes because I cant unlock mine (got it replaced with 2.2.1 already on it) and I know someone who would buy it if he could use it with his plan.

BTW I am your son

Does your iPhone have the 5.09 bootloader? When did you purchase it?

If you have the 5.08 bootloader, you can roll back the baseband to 2.28.0, which is unlockable.

I downgraded from 3.0 beta 5 to 2.2.1, then rolled the baseband back to 2.28.0.

BTW - you look nothing like my son...

Well, since I am your son unlike these other posers, what kind of great deal are you bestowing upon me?

My son would never have a user name such as gogoplata1980...

He has more self-respect than that.

What can I say? My dad's(you) name is as bad as they come. I got a complex at a very early age.

You're the reason I hide behind this mask.

Now you're just being mean.

Well I'm sure even if it isn't unlockable, it'll still be a breeze to sell. A guy I work with just offered me 200 so I suppose that isn't too bad.
