Good To Go...
Still waiting for the software-based unlock for the Iphone 3G?But yet to materialize.
Stephenson, who became AT&T's (T) chairman and CEO a year ago, championed the idea of paying Apple (AAPL) about $300 per device, analysts estimate, to help hold down the retail cost. The subsidy, which replaces another arrangement that gave Apple a portion of iPhone service revenue, will dilute earnings through 2009, AT&T says.
On the plus side for consumers, the iPhone is now extremely affordable. At $199, the 3G iPhone costs about the same as a high-end cellphone. AT&T says it plans to offer an unsubsidized iPhone later. Cost: $599 to $699, depending on memory, putting it well beyond the reach of average wireless users.
It remains to be seen if AT&T's gamble will pay off. One thing is clear: Thanks to the iPhone, the smartphone game has changed dramatically. And so have consumer perceptions of the mobile Web, a netherworld that seemed downright hostile before the iPhone showed up.

How much is that old iPhone in your pocket worth? Enough, it turns out, to swap it straight across for the just-launched, shiny, twice-as-fast 3G model -- if not more.
No Joke.
Unlike most used gadgets, which plummet in value as soon as they're powered up, year-old iPhone 1.0s are still fetching big bucks. To understand why, get a load of how others are cashing in on last summer's technology.
"I just got the new 3G iPhone, so I'm selling my old one," said a seller wanting $350 for a slightly scratched 8-gigabyte first-generation iPhone listed for sale on Craigslist this week.
Wait. A new iPhone 3G can be had for $200.
Why pay more for an old one? Nutso, right?
Actually, that's how many secondhand buyers describe exclusive-carrier AT&T's costlier service plan for the 3G. Do the math, and you'll realize it costs $360 more over two years than the plan offered to iPhone 1.0 users. So, the actual cost of a new iPhone starts at $560.
Among resellers, the money generally isn't as good on Craigslist, but it's a quick, clean flip. Dealmakers range from national gadget fix-it shop RapidRepair in Kalamazoo, Mich., to entrepreneur Slava Franchuk of Clackamas, Ore.
Their philosophy: AT&Who?
The 21-year-old Franchuk, a Portland State University student, offers up to $300 for a functional 1.0 iPhone. He then "jailbreaks" it from AT&T to work with other wireless carriers. (Hackers haven't figured out how to unlock the 3G yet.)
In a week, Franchuk says he can resell five phones for a $50 profit on each.
"A lot of people want an iPhone," he said, "but they don't want to leave T-Mobile."
On eBay, the going rate is $375 to $600.
Selling there? Here's a tip: Offer international shipping. There's crazy demand in China, Russia and other countries where people can't get the gadget from their carriers. Of course, to get top dollar, you have to figure out how to unyoke the iPhone from AT&T on your own.
"I was in China in April," said Josh Bancroft, the supergeek behind TinyScreenfuls.com. "Although it's not officially available there, the iPhone was everywhere -- just like the U.S."
Bancroft can't recall another gadget that has ever commanded as much in the secondhand market.
Of course, the used iPhone market is bound to crash. Apple, Bancroft notes, is on the verge of shipping the iPhone 3G to 72 countries. So, sell those old ones while they're hot.

PrepareGather all neccesary tools and place your iPhone 3G on a clean flat surface, use a soft cloth or towel to place under it. Insert a small thin tool between the chrome ring and front panel glass directly above one of the screw holes. You will need to exert a small amount of pressure to seperate the display from the back panel. Step 4 Lift the panel up from the dock end being careful not to tear or break any ribbons connected near the other end. Unplug ribbons 1 and 2 by lifting them from the main board. Under ribbon 2 you will need to find and unclip ribbon 3, then carefully remove the display assembly. Remove the seven screws circled in red. Note: One screw is located under the DO NOT REMOVE sticker Step 8 Llift the mother board out taking note of the camera which is still connected to the underside of the board. You will need to unplug the ribbon circled in red. Place the mother board to the side. Use the attached tab to pull up on the battery, there is a mild adhesive on the back side, so it will take a bit of force. Step 11 Remove the headphone jack and attached flex cable. Step 15 Remove the 2 screws circled in red. You will find 3 screws on the opposite side which must be removed as well. Lift the LCD free from the front panel glass.
