What to do with an old iPhone
Macworld —
It’s clear, you’re an iPhone enthusiast. No, it’s not the slightly smushed-in left-ear that indicates you spend hour after hour on the phone, the Apple sticker that adorns your forehead, or the unconscious typing motions you make with your thumbs. Rather, it’s the two-layer bulge in your front pocket—created by your original iPhone and your new iPhone 3G. Yet is it really necessary to have two iPhones—particularly when the original no longer works as a phone because you’ve passed along its activation to the shiny new 3G? Perhaps. To find out, let’s examine some of the things you can do with an old, inactivated ...

What to do with that old iPhone?

With my old first generation iPhone, I sent it in with all my accessories and received a check back in 2-3 weeks. It was all pretty painless. ...

Buying a new iPhone, Tucson style
The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) —
Filed under: Cult of Mac, Apple, iPhoneOf course, like many people, I just had to have a 3G S, so my old 3G phone is off to NextWorth. I got to my local Apple Store (La Encantata Mall) about 6:30 AM, and there were about 30-35 people in line. There were 2 lines actually, one for people who reserved an iPhone, and one for those that had just come to buy. The lines were certainly shorter than with the 3G roll out. This mall is not enclosed, but the iPhone gods smiled upon us and gave us a cool morning in the 70's. Not our usual Arizona ...
Sell your iPhone 3G at a profit
iPhone Atlas —
... Not too shabby, eh?
Of course, with the sudden glut of used iPhones out there, you may have a tough time finding a buyer. If you'd rather not deal with the hassles (and potential wait) of selling to another individual, consider selling to a service.

I also got an online quote from used-gadget buyer NextWorth, which offered about $220 for my 16GB 3G: ...

Build your iPhone a dock from its own box
The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) —
... retail box.
Since the 3GS does not ship with a dock (bummer), enterprising owner Vince Tang used the included USB cable, the docking "plate," which is that tiny piece of plastic meant to seat the phone correctly, and the sturdy box to create a dock. Specifically, he cut a hole in the box's lid, crammed the plate and cable inside and glued the daylights out of it. We think it looks pretty good (from the top at least).
In fact, if I hadn't sent my old iPhone to NextWorth in my 3GS box, I'd be making one of these right now. Well done, Vince! TUAW ...
