    If I sold it to a Cex shop can I just take it in store or does it have to be sent away? And what happens if they give me less for it than advertised? I suppose I can keep IMEI number and blacklist it if it all goes wrong.

    My boyfriend and I tried to sell our iphones to Cex yesterday (3G 16gb white and 8gb black) - mine has been kept in a hard plastic shell and looked after really carefully and has the slightest marks where I dock it, they would only give me a price for 'not working' !! I would have described it in either 'as new/excellent' or 'good' condition which according to their website would get between £200 - £180. So a wasted trip.

    I guess most iPhones have this kind of crack as they are prone to it, but they don't affect the phone use at all. Very frustrating.

    iphone 3g prices will tumble as of 6pm tonight when OS4 is released, OS4 isn't as compatible with 3G as it will be with 3GS and 4 so it will affect prices. Quite a few of the features are just not compatible with 3G phones unfortunately.

    When 4 comes along later this week prices will again fall. I have just bought a 16GB 3G for my son from a friend for £120.
