I have an iPhone 5, and my old iPhone 4 is going to go to my fiance sooner or later. I have it set up as my radio in my office.

I just don't know what to do with my old iPhone 3G. It's too slow for most uses. What do you guys use it for?

Just give it away to some homeless person. Might be of some use to them. Never mind, it's an Apple, they might just eat it.
I'd just throw it away in a junk drawer or somewhere. Not like it's worth anything. 10 bucks if that.

Not that I have used them... but.. I did see a commercial for them some time ago. Possibly worth a look.

Sell it on eBay, you'll be surprised how much dumb asses will pay when they see the word "iPhone".

Funny, something that has more power than the first thing that landed on the moon.

Those types of websites will take you for a ride. Don't ever use them, they will give you wayyyy less then what you can get from someone real.

If I had no use for it and it was a bit too old to bother with I would either just store it or get it recycled.

You could repurpose it but there's not a lot you can do that you're already doing a lot quicker with your iPhone 5. :p

I use mine as a Remote for XBMC, especially when I have messy hands while having a (Indian) meal.
