LF: iPhone

[Peter Johnson]

Hey all. My first-gen iphone is biting the dust, so I thought I'd check to see if anyone here has one kicking around after upgrading or what have you, that they'd like to sell me. second-gen is fine too, but seems less likely to be available used. No preference as to memory capacity; should still be AT&T-ready for me to pop in my sim card. Thanks for looking.

I didn't know you could open an iPhone with anything except a saw. Fomenting a used market with an accessible SIM slot does not sound very Apple.

Believe it or not, it works--that's how I got into "iphone world" in the first place. Bought a friend's used first gen phone; took it to AT&T, opened an account, got a sim card. Easy as that.

Can only be done at the AT&T counter?

I don't use an iphone, but if i could split my account usage and do the SIM swap myself, between my blackberry and an iphone, I would consider it. I have to use a blackberry for compliance at my job. But I would most often rather use a snappy wifi enabled device, especially on weekends.

Nope. Anyone can do it. I think the iPhones all come with a SIM eject tool now, but a paperclip can certainly be used as well:
