What am I missing?
Can you make Meth out of it or something?
Can we somehow turn it into Habanos?
I am going to shoot some photos and list it on Ebay later.
Darn thing looks perfect like the day it came out of the box. Just doesn't work. No biggie.

Should I list it complete, with all the gadgets such as the cord, earbuds, etc?

Carlos, all I sold was the phone. No cords or earbuds or nothin.
What they do with them is beyond me. I have seen things on ebay where they'll take your busted, water damaged phone and replace it for a hundred bucks. Ive also heard rumor that Apple will do "out of warranty" replacement for a hundred bucks.
I had pulled mine apart and even mentioned that. And I mentioned it went in the ocean. Otherwise it was in pristine condition. I put pics on there and was completely honest.
When I got paid, I just about sh1t.
That also made me quit caring about what they do with them. I bet you'll get a lot more for your iPhone 4. Mine was a 32 GB 3GS.
Do a three day auction over the weekend. Then we can all watch you get rich.

I am going to list both my 4 and my 3G. The latter works fine.
I was waiting for the weekend and to allow two current water damaged listed phone auctions to expires.
Also called Apple to inquire if whoever gets it can turn it on and retrieve private information.
Turns out since I use a passcode feature all the time, they can only reset the phone and will lose all data.

Now what I am wondering is should I remove the SIM card? I forgot to ask about that and that little device may be retaining important stuff I may not want other to have.

You forgot to download iFloat first. Maybe the new iWaterproof would have come in handy.















Sorry I know my jokes are lame. Its the best I can do being a PC geek for a living.

I'd keep the sim card and throw it away. I didn't send my sim card along with the phone, I'm sure.
If anyone ultimately uses the phone, they'll drop their sim card in it.
Covers your ass, too.

For many of us happy iPhone users, it is more like:
iAwesome
iBest
iLoveit
iHaveit
iYouDon't


How could I forget:

Joe, I honestly wish I knew what that was all about.
In three years or so of owning iPhones, I have yet to ever need to make a call from anywhere I have been where I have not had reception.
As I mentioned in other threads, just to name a few places:
Anywhere in Central to South Florida (in fact, in Key Largo this past weekend, before mine went diving, my wife's Verizon had zero reception from the hotel and mine was fine.
Pensacola
Atlanta
Mobile
Charlotte
Savannah
Nashville
NYC/Long Island
NJ (northern part, near NY to Bridgewater)
Hampton, NH
Maine
Chicago
Indianapolis
Phoenix
Dallas/Ft. Worth
LA area (LA/Anaheim/Diamond Bar)
Sacramento
Portland
Seattle
Salt Lake City
Las Vegas
Denver
San Francisco
San Jose
Austin
Houston

....and quite a few more I frankly don't remember.

So, while I certainly don't doubt there may be areas of bad reception, I can attest that I have never had a problem and I have traveled very frequently to many of these places.
In fact, my business cell has always been with AT&T and I have used that lots before I ever got an iPhone, with no problems.

I must be the luckiest guy on Earth or the reception issue is more BS than reality.

Oh wait, I now remember.
One time, at band camp, I was in an elevator, 15 floors under ground, surrounded by lead, and I recall not having reception.

BTW,
Although I mentioned it, let me restate it. My household has two AT&T cell accounts and one Verizon.
I kept my wife on Verizon due to my daughter so they can talk and save my daughter some money.
When the wife and I travel, we have both carriers available to us.
If anything I have ever noticed is hers experiences more reception issues than mine does.
Go figure.
