Default What are you gonna do with your "old" iphone?

I was looking for the "poll" feature but couldn't find it....

What are you guys going to do when the new iPhone comes out?
- sell yours to buy a new one?
- try to get an upgrade?
- keep your old iPhone?

Personally, I know exactly what I'm going to do. I will unlock my iPhone and put it for sale on eBay. There still is a bunch of countries where the iPhone is not available and these countries have no problem paying a premium for it. I figured if I can get $400 from my iPhone, it still will be a $250 profit (yes, my iPhone cost me only $150!)

99% sure I will be keeping mine. I am satisfied with this phone and am looking forward to the firmware update and app store. It will take a LOT more than 3G to get me to switch. Also the data plan cost will come into play. I don't need 3G that bad.

I'm going to keep mine as a spare phone, that way I don't have to resort to my old KRZR, or even my old RAZR.

Lightbulb ebay is the way to be

cant wait to sell it on ebay. here is how i look at it: if the new iphone will really be only $200 like some say, tmob users and others still wont be able to get it for that price and will be willing to spend MUCH more than msrp on it (ie $600 like when the old phone was just released). i figure i could get about $400 for mine. perhaps will even get a few phones (i have 3 att lines) and sell them off for a profit

I completely agree. I will be keeping my iPhone. To me it is not a dispensable phone, especially considering that I was so excited about it last year. Unless there are HUGE improvements, I will not reconsider buying a new one.
