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

All you have to do is answer the set of questions that pertain to the condition of your iphone and if you like the price, you provide your information so they generate a free shipping label for you. The nice thing is the label is automatically made on their site and after downloading the label, you print it and attach it on your package that you will be shipping and just wait to get paid.
The whole process is pretty quick. My sister sold them her broken (water damaged) 3GS and got $130 for it, which was more than what other buy back sites offered.

Look, I'm not disputing what you said about the IPhone's capability. Only the fact that you misinterpret what I meant in my post. First of all, I don't need you, or anyone trying to correct me with an attitude OK? Besides, I was responding to a question that someone posted that had nothing to do with you. I think It's best that we end this debate NOW before it gets uglier than it is!
You were wrong, I corrected you, no need to take it personaly. I just wanted to make sure the OP had the correct information.

AGAIN, I was stating what I read, as far as the features of the 3GS. I did not say that the 3GS had a processor that was twice as fast as the 3G. I said that the phone is twice fast. I'm not wrong. You said yourself that the phone was twice as fast in certain areas. I'm the first one to admit when I'm wrong, but in this case I'm not. And you didn't correct me. The only thing I didn't do was elaborate on the areas that the 3GS was faster. I do take it personal when someone insists that I said something I didn't say. I'm through with the subject, and I hope you are too.

Wow.... read the following statement slowly so you can understand.... The 3GS is NOT twice as fast as the 3G but it has the CAPABILITY to DOWNLOAD and UPLOAD twice as fast but even that wont happen until ATT rolls out the hsdpa speeds everywhere. As a comparison for you, just because I put a wireless N card in my laptop does not make it twice as fast, but it has the capability to download much faster still that does me no good if I don't have a wireless N router or if other computers on my network are using a lot of the connection speed and using a lot of the backbend bandwidth.
I hope this clarifies for you again don't take it personal just trying to help you understand.

Now your trying to insult my intelligence. Lets get one thing straight, I have a notebook computer that has a wireless N card, but I have a G wireless router. Any dummy can figure out that I won't get the full benefit of wireless N when my router is wireless G. I built and fixed more computers than I can count, and also encountered more software issues that even tech support couldn't help with. People always tell me that I should go into my own business fixing computers. I'm a geek, and have been for over 20 something years, not to mention I have a collage degree, and a high level of common sense. I'll say it once again. I DID NOT say anything about AT&T in any of my posts. I was only trying to help a person that was asking the difference the 3GS had over the 3G, I didn't expect to be criticized for it. It seems that your continuing to make an issue on the subject to prove that your right. There is no right or wrong here, except the fact that you being disrespectful in stating I said and meant things I did not say. The only thing I didn't do was elaborate on how the 3GS was faster. Below is a copy from the Apple web site stating that the 3GS is up to "TWICE AS FAST AS THE 3G". IT DID NOT say whether or not AT&T had the bandwidth to utilize the full capability of the IPhone. I understand that your intelligent and you may be trying to help, but this isn't the way to do it. Your point has been made and we should just let it go, because this isn't worth arguing about.
Meet the fastest, most powerful iPhone yet. iPhone 3GS features video recording, Voice Control, up to 32GB of storage, and more.

I agree, no need to argue, I'm just glad I could help you understand, apology accepted.
