No. I'm probably going to keep my 4 as a backup; however, I may sell it along with my 4th gen. IPod touch to pay for a 32GB 5th gen touch.

I sold my white 4S 32GB for $350 Friday. I'm using my back up 3GS until I get my iPhone 5 Friday. Can?t wait!!!!!!!! It's been an experience going from a 4S to a 3GS. It's amazing how slow this thing is compared to the 4S. It just shows how far the iPhone has come from 2009 to now.

I replaced my 64Gb 4S and Wife's 32GB 4 with a 64gb 5 and a 32 GB 5.

Traded both old ones to Amazon for $800. I have to ship it to them by WEDNESDAY though!
If I want to keep them till release date, I would lose another $100, so I will just back everything up on Wednesday and ship and go phoneless for couple days :( lol

Sold my white 64GB ATT 4S for $400 on eBay instant sale (or whatever they call it). Doesn't have to be there until 10/1 so hopefully I'll get my iPhone 5 this Friday!

Sold the iPhone 4, 32 gb, black on Craigslist for $360 in early September. If you're patient and don't mind the hassle, Craigslist is really where you get the most $ (after fees, etc.). Can't wait for the 5! :)

I sold my iPhone 4S on Thursday during the day to have the money to pay for a 5 and now using a very OLD Nexus One. It's rough but better than trying to go back to a Blackberry for the week.

If you did sell you phone, what phone are you using now?

I'd rather rock the BlackBerry for a week over a Nexus One.

I'm using Samsung Galaxy Ace for about 2weeks already and I'm vomiting blood every single time I touch it. It's so slow. laggy. glitchy. internet is like a snail. I can hardly read anything on it. Oh my... iPhone 4S spoilt me.

Gazelle.com Baby!

i just quoted my 4s 16 GB AT&T which looks almost flawless at Gazelle and they offered me $288 as opposed to Amazon where i can sell it with the battery case, jailbroken and unlocked for around $400 maybe more. (they have $370 for just the phone right now)
am I missing something here or Amazon is simply a MUCH MUCH better place to sell your iphone??

I've considered selling my phones before to a company online (Amazon, Gazelle, etc) but my concern always was that once they receive it they will change the offer and try to screw you because now they have your phone hostage and will be more likely to take the lower offer. Anyone have that happen?

I don't ship off or get rid of something til the payment is in my hand (or account). Just one of my rules to live by.

I'd rather rock the BlackBerry for a week over a Nexus One.

I was using a BlackBerry 9700 for the weekend. I had to use the Nexus One, no email was killing me cause of the Stupid Blackberry data plans. No apps, email, web browsing made me wanna vomit.
