Anyone upgrade their iPhone in North Texas?

Anyone recently upgrade to 3g in the DFW area of North Texas and want to unload their first gen iPhone? I'll pay a reasonable price and you can get some quick cash. I'm not currently in contract on my cell, so I can get a new 3g, but I want to find one to play with for a little while to see if I like it before signing a long term contract with AT&T.

PM me with what you've got, what you're asking, and where you're located.

Thanks!

Just to let you know I did upgrade to 3G and my buddy bought my old iphone so he would not have to sign contract. AT&T and apple made him sign a two year contract. If you activate a iphone new or old you will sign a contract. My buddy went round and round with apple and AT&T to still end up having a contract. Hope this information will help you out.

I bought a used iphone and plugged my sim in with no new contract for a while, but i eventually endd up with a tilt that i use now. I am under contract for a few more months but just FYI they know what kind of phone you use. It pdated every time in my att online billpay area.

Thanks for the updates, what I'm hoping to do, is use a pay-as-you-go sim card to evaluate the phone for what my typical usage will be and see if I like the interface. Just short term stuff, once I decide if I like it, I won't have any trouble signing a long term with AT&T, T-mobile. Since I've never played with one, I'm not sure I want to give up my current phone and plan with Sprint yet.

I'd even rent one for a week or two if I could figure out how to do it just so I can make sure its what I want to do. The initial phone investment is small potatoes compared to the cost of 2 years of service with the expensive iPhone rate plans. I just don't want to get locked in and discover I hate the phone.
