I have a 16gB iphone 3G, and am thinking of upgrading to 3GS.
Several sites offer to buy these phones for around $200
Anybody had any luck with these? Which ones are legit? Any scams to be aware of?
A couple examples I found are: www.rapidrepair.com, and www.CashiPhone.com

Truthfully I was looking at the re-sellers because I don't want to deal with someone who isn't happy with the phone.
The phone is only 6 months old, but I had a problem a little while ago with the home button being intermittent. I took it apart and cleaned it and adjusted the contacts. It seems to be working, and the phone is in great condition, but I don't want to take a chance of selling something to someone and them having a problem. At least with the re sellers they refurbish and provide a warranty.
The re-sellers offer about $230 or so

I've actually tried CashiPhone.com and to my surprise they were really good. I sold them a 3g 8gb iphone and got paid 200 dollars for it which was more than what the other sites offered me.
they also covered shipping too. Would definitely recommend them if ur not looking for any headaches
Good Luck

The differences between the 3G and 3GS is that the 3GS has a faster processor that makes it twice as fast. It also has double the ram which is 256MB, voice dial, a compass, and video recording. It has accessibility features like "Voice Over", that tells you by voice each function that you touch, "Zoom" that zooms in all words and characters. Both are great features for people that are visually impaired. It also has a "White On Black" option that reverses the colors of the screen, and "Speak Auto Text" that speaks the words that the phone suggests when your texting. Oh, it also has a battery percentage indicator that tells you the percentage of battery power you have left. To me, Apple added alot of wonderful and useful features to this incredible phone. I hope this info is helpful in making your decision.

The processor is NOT twice as fast as the 3g but it is a few 100MHZ faster the iphone 3gs has a radio that operates on HSDPA speed wich is POTENTIALY twice as fast for download and upload speeds.

Agreed - wait until May/June at this point. Apple's already put a "mystery announcement" on their calendar around the same time they announced the iPhone/3G/3Gs in previous years.
If they announce something new, you'll be happy you waited. If they don't you can always upgrade/sell then.
There's nothing in the 3Gs that would make a 3G user want to upgrade unless you want more bells 'n whistles. I know a few people that did and don't see a big difference in day-to-day stuff, and now they'll have to wait until December of this year (minimum) before they're elligible to upgrade to another phone.
