Why I'm Giving Away My iPhone 3GS
As much as I love my iPhone 3GS (which I bought last year), I’m going to do something completely insane: I’m going to give away my iPhone 3GS instead of selling it.
I actually did ponder selling the iPhone 3GS, along with a battery extender from FastMac (which includes a built in flash light) which together are probably valued at $200 (I paid $300 plus for both items).
Apple is currently selling 8 gig iPhone 3GS’s for $100, although the one I have is 16 gig (double the storage baby!).
So why am I giving it away? Because I can, and (more importantly) I think it will be a great opportunity to introduce someone to the iCult. 
So who am I giving the iPhone 3GS away to? Lets just say that their is a short list, but everyone on it has NEVER owned a smart phone before, so this will be a great opportunity for them to experience iBliss.
Since I won’t reveal who is receiving this gift until my iPhone 4 is activated (which I have to purchase near full price since I do not qualify for AT&T’s subsidy), it will be a few weeks until the person is revealed.
Either way, I hope they enjoy using the iPhone as much as I did (especially since they could REALLY use some of the apps to help organize and improve their life), although hopefully they’ll keep it out of the hands of kids (as its fragile!!).
