Hi List, My apologies if I am posting this twice, but I think the first time I accidently had clicked on "Reply to Author" and sent this only to Liz.
Anyhow, I will make this short. Liz mentions an iPhone 4S 8 Gig for $149 from Radio Shack. This must have been a misunderstanding since the only 8 Gig iPhones you can get are the 3GS and the 4. Once the 4S came out Apple sold off all remaining stock of the iPhone 4 16 and 32 Gig, the 8 Gig was introduced as a less expensive option for people who don't want to spend $199 for a 16 Gig 4S. The contract price for an iPhone 4 8 Gig is $99 as per Apple's website and I have heard that some places even offered it for $49 as a opromotion. Why somebody would want to save $100 and buy an iPhone 4 8 Gig is beyond me because not only will those $100 get you double the storage, but you also get the much improved 8 MP camera on the 4S, a faster processor and, of course, SIRI which alone would be worth $100 to me. As far as the resale value of old phones is concerned, keep in mind that if you havce a 3GS which is now off-contract because you had it for 2 years and upgraded to a 4S, you can call AT&T and request to have the 3GS unlocked. From user feedback on the "Today in iOS" Podcast this apprently works very smoothly now, people who call in receive an email with instructions on how to unlock their old 3GS within a few hours and after you do this you have a phone you can either continue to use on a prepaid plan and as an iPod or you can sell it and get more money for it since it is now unlocked. The Today in iOS podcast by the way is very informative and everybody who is interested in keeping up with what is going on in the iOS, iDevice and app world should listen to it. It is a weekly podcast, Rob who does the Podcast also provides many articles and detailed jailbreak instructions on his website and is usually very up on Apple news and his predictions as to new devices are well researched and in the case of the 4S were almost all correct.
