Trading up to a new iPhone

Trading up to a new iPhone - suggestions from the famous Erica Sadun.

eBay it. The iPhone may soon be previous gen but it still has pretty
good market value -- especially if you're willing to take the risk of
auctioning it off to overseas clients. I expect to see some
enterprising people realize this soon and start a buyback service
specifically intended to put blocks of unlocked previous-generation
iPhones together for sale overseas in countries without official
iPhone support.

iPod it. Once you've pwned your iPhone, it becomes not only a
perfectly good iPod touch but one with built-in speakers and a
microphone. You don't need an active AT&T account to keep using that
iPhone as one of the best iPods ever built.

Kid it. I don't know about your kids but mine are constantly after me
to use the iPhone. It offers a perfectly portable sub-laptop solution
for hooking into the Internet at Wi-Fi hotspots. It takes a lot of the
burden off our main computer and allows my kids to watch endless
Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus clips.
