Full FeedWhat will you do with your first gen iPhone?
In about one week, the iPhone 3G will officially be upon us and ready to be touched by our greasy hands. My big question is, what does this mean for your first generation iPhone? Are you going to keep it and use it as a Wi-Fi iPod? Will you hand it over to a family member and buy yourself a shiny, new iPhone 3G? Or, will you unlock it and go for the big bucks on eBay? The choice is yours. I personally will probably end up selling my old one on eBay.
The great thing about the first gen iPhone is that there are so many possible uses for it. With its large touch screen, mobile form factor, and accelerometer, you just have to put your creative mind to work.
No matter what you do, I believe your first generation iPhone is still valuable. The iPhone 3G could be extremely hard to both jailbreak and unlock as they will have to be activated in the store. If you can find the right person who wants an iPhone that is able to be unlocked, you could probably get a nice sum of money for your first generation iPhone. If you don’t need more money and tinkering is your thing, you could turn your iPhone into something cool to impress all of your friends with.
Now it’s your turn to answer, what will you be doing with your first gen iPhone?

Im sure alot of people will carry on using thier 1st gen iPhone as phone as the upgrade might not be major enough to justify an upgrade. I’m personally upgrading, simply because I don’t think I could live with having an older model, it’s terrible I know. I think i’ll keep my first gen iPhone just incase my new one breaks, I don’t think I could sell it, I’ve become too attached :)
