So, my dad says...

Sell your 2G, buy the iPhone 4 with the money you got. Is it that hard?

Wait until all the crap gets ironed out on the iPhone 4...like losing reception from your hand or your keys, by the time that happens, you'll have enough money

My dad isn't actually concerned that much with the iPhone 4 itself. He's concerned about the plan that it's probably going to come with. Plus, I don't think $280 will afford an iPhone 4.

I'm 12, where am I supposed to find that much money?

But you will still need a plan for the iPhone 3GS too...

That won't sell :/

You can get a new one that size for 300$saving 20$ may as well get the new one. no offense

230$ is a good deal.

Good luck

Wait, what? I don't understand what you mean, ifish.

You can get a NEW

3rd GEN iPod touch for 300$

Why buy an older 2dn gen for 20$ less then the v=newest generation?

Its not a good deal. the new iPods ave more ram, and more features in iOS4

Ok. So 230 is good, but what about 250?

It depends on where you plan on selling it.

I plan to sell it amongst my friends, if I can't, it's going on eBay.

Forget about the iPhone altogether and get a Droid X, HTC Incredible, or HTC Evo 4G.

I actually like the iPhone over Droid.

You will find your iPod a hard sell at $280. You should expect around the $200 mark.

So be it - but no flash support, no multitasking, bad reception, crap battery life, ridiculously over-priced, an inferior camera, and no Swype all make the iPhone a complete deal killer for me.

I think you should rethink your options.

If you're 12 why the hell do you need an iPhone. I'm 15 and I still borrow my Mom's old phone whenever I like goto the movies or something.

Same here. I don't see why kids need all these FUCKING EXPENSIVE and USELESS phones... Are their parents so naive that they think it is really what their child deserves? Kids want toys, not god damn phones... I never even got a phone till I turned 16 (which was December last year). Kids get spoiled WAY too much nowadays...

I can rant on this subject for ages, but this is Blogs, so no one would read it anyway. I might post a full rant on this another day.

I'm 16, and my brothers are 11 and 13. My phone is an old model that uses buttons while theirs use touch screens. Mine was bought in 2008. I don't see why young people these days need all of these new gadgets when a phone was originally invented just for communication.

Isn't 16 still considered a bit young?

Save your money, invest it in starting your own business. Sell that business and retire on a pile of iPhone4s
