Hello

I'm selling my iphone 3 due to financial reasons. I really love the phone and just hate selling it :(

However, I'm not sure if it's a 3G or 3GS - anyone know how I can find out?

I've just looked under settings/general/about and it says capacity is 29.3 GB - back says 32 GB - so I'm sure it's a 32GB phone?

    I don't have an iP, but I guess there has to be some information in settings, something like 'phone identity'.

    Alternatively, see http://iphone3gsystem.net/iphone3g-vs-3gs.html

    if the writing on the back shiny (like chrome) it is a 3GS, but if it is dull then it is a 3G

    also do you have the compass app? if you have the compass app it is a 3GS if you dont it is a 3G

    Apple did not make a 32gb 3G. You have a 3GS.

    You could also find the model number on the back of the phone. You can google your model number to verify this.

    I sold my 16gb white iphone 3gs on ebay a couple of weeks ago it was in good condition and 18 months old locked to orange and I got £200 = £7 postage so I got about £175 after fees. You can get about £145 from mobile recycling sites.

    i had all the packaging though

    Gee I can't believe Ebay charged you £25 to sell it, must be over 10% selling fees??
