I sell my phones using mazuma normally. Yes you could get a bit more on the bay but as you say there are so many knobhead buyers on there it isn't worth the risk and i just use eGay for buying stuff now.

I just sold 3 phones via Mazuma was rather painless, they sent me an envelope to send them off paid postage I added the extra for recorded about 70p and got lots of emails as they arrived and once they were checked and money straight into my bank account on day of receipt really quite an impressive slick machine and no quibble over the price given by the website.

I went from a 3G iPhone to the 3GS then to the 4. (the difference between the 3GS & 4 is massive Tony). Each time i do so (because of my contract) it cost's me nothing to change and i was actually £37 better off last time i changed.


No, I appreciate it is a decent upgrade, but it just wasn't enough of a leap forward and worth it to me - I don't use that many features on the phone and as work pay for my contract and I just buy the phone it didn't seem worth it.

What do you want as a leap forwards though?

iPhone 4 has over 3GS

Better Screen
Better Bluetooth
Faster Processor
Faster & More memory
Better Camera
HD Video Recording
LED Flash
Front Camera enabling Facetime
Three Axis Gyro
Dual Mic with Noise Supression
N Class Wifi
Better battery life for Talk & Internet


Just curious as to what else would have tempted you across? :happy2:

Fonebank always used to pay the best prices. Some of the phone places are shysters, though and will inform you that the phone was non-functioning when it arrived and only give you half the agreed value (fonebank don't do this btw). Best to read reviews first!

I agree that playing the waiting game isnt the best choice when it comes to Apple products - I also upgrade my iPhone yearly etc. The 3Gs to the 4 was a good upgrade, due to the number of changes etc. The iPad to the iPad2 isnt a worthwhile upgrade in my opinion, because the updates are rubbish. We have what, 3 or 4 developments?? It was released to keep up with all the other tablets in the market. Apple were forced to release an earlier then planned update because of this, and I believe it ended up with a product which is aimed more for a newer audience - those without an iPad to date - rather then to those who already have an iPad. If you really needed an iPad now I would save some cash and go with the iPad 1 to get you by for the next few months. The iPad 3 will be a bigger update.

Apple are known to bring out the bigger updates every 2 years, or after every 2 cycles. iPhone is a classic example, and now the iPad. The item comes along, then a small update in between, before the next 'big' update comes along. With the iPad, I'd rather wait for the next big update as my current iPad does everything I need it to do perfectly fine. I would have probably done the same with the iPhone this year, as I believe it will not be a huge update - a slightly bigger screen, and a speed boost maybe, more like a iPhone 4s, rather then an iPhone 5 as such - but my contract ends in June so will look for a decent deal if one is available.....  :wink:

My contract allows to me upgrade 6 months early for free. As i only ever get 18month contracts it ties in nicely with iPhone release. :happy2:


Not just a pretty face me :evilgrin: :laugh:

I would recommend any ipad users to upgrade until Apple upgrade the screen resolution.

Would ?

LOL, you don't have to sell it to me, I know how good it is..

I use the phone for calling, texting, emailing and surfing - nowt else. The 4 didn't really do much more in those fields than the 3GS. I bought an iPhone because I like the GUI, I work with tech all day, I can't be arsed bringing it into my out of work life in the same sort of way.
