Here's some crazy news.

eBay has set up an Instant Sale site where you can sell your iPhone 2, 3 or 4. The iPhone 4 (in good shape) is currently getting $307 and some change!

I was able to upgrade to the iPhone 4 when it came out, paying the $199. Back then, I sold my iPhone 3 for $230. This time, there's no auction to mess with. They just send you a free mailer and pay you through PayPal.

Radio Shack, our local one, will buy back iPhones in good condition. I was astonished at the high price they will pay us. Though I dont want a new one yet, not for a while anyway. The better camera is tempting though.
My custom case with Lilly on it would be no good anymore either.

Well, the new camera does sounds great. yes.gif Auto-switching between antennas may mean fewer dropped calls? wacko.gif

And I can see major benefits in being able to speak commands to the iPhone rather than having to type...especially in quiet restaurants... laughhard.gif   

Just shows how much we've come to expect more than even the ruer sites can predict. The rate of exciting new features simply cannot continue forever. I guess the best thing about the new model is the $19.99 price! That is correct, right? dntknw.gif scram.gif

There is a funny/not so funny story in our local paper today that instead of iPhone 5 Apple called it 4s, so many people didnt bother to read any of the emails or info. They thought it was just an upgrade and thought we had to wait a few more weeks for the phone itself.

I didnt read it either.
Wonder why they didnt name it 5?

Anyway, Im not going to buy a new iPhone,,,,,,yet,,,,,,

I assume the "S" comes from "Siri" which is short for Speech Integration Rules Interweb!!! rolleyes.gif

I think the next version will be the iPhone 4r5. the "r5" meaning "really 5." laughhard.gif
