Ask HN: What can I do with 2 spare iPhone 3GS

from the ask-hn dept.

We got two iPhone 3GS' in Aug 2009. Both phones work fine just that they are slow. I would like to get new phones but hate the fact that I have to throw these away. What have other people done ?

I would build something with them if you can. Use the display or connect the iphone via usb after "jailbreaking" it. I'm sure the wonderful people here can offer a multitude of suggestions.

Call ATT and unlock them, then sell them or give them away to charity. I think there is some place where you can donate your smart phones for the soldiers overseas.

Really !! AT&T will do that for free without giving me trouble ? If so that would be fantastic.

Yes, if you are out of contract fit those phones.
