Going to ATT today to pre order...Im psyched!
yea when i upgraded my old 2G iphone to the 3GS i didnt need a new sim card, they just deactivated the old one and transfered my number to the new sim card. also at at&t set up your wifes line to have the data and tell them that you're going to switch her phone to the 3GS. they might set up a new sim card for her as well or maybe just swap it,

if you want all your stuff on the new iphone just back it up on itunes first then sync your iphone 4 to your itunes account.

How would you transfer from a non-iPhone to a 4 since iTunes can't read your old phone?

Yes itunes does it all for you, when you start the process it asks if you want use an existing number or start a new account.

So assuming I don't pre-order one on 15th, when would be the soonest do we think they will be available?

To pre-order do they require the whole amount down on the 15th or just partial?

If it's like amazon, they just need your cc info, and charge it when it ships

i feel like it might be possible on ebay - 250-299 for 32gb GS. i figure someone would unlock it and have lots of fun with it.

i totally think it's possible for 300...
my brother when he went from 2G to 3G, did the same thing (he actually made few extra bucks)
and 3GS is still an awesome device imo...

I currently have a 3GS, wife has a 3G. Plan is for me to get the 4G, Wife gets my 3GS. I don't think I will get that much for her 3G (8GB) and was thinking about getting him an Itouch anyway, so he gets the 3G without service and uses it as a touch.

i've never understood the prices of used iphones..

the NEW 32gb iPhone4 will be $299..

whats the incentive to pay the same amount for a 1 year old phone? just wondering.

some guy tried to sell me his 3GS for $350 a while back when i can get it for $199 at apple. hell, the 8GB is $99
