as others said, trade, then sell the iphone for many moneys, buy an awesome newer 4g phone.
Iphone 4 would get OP enough money to buy a used Rezound or Gnex easy.
Ya iPhone 4 is definitely worth more (dollar value wise) than a tbolt, can easily buy u any 4g phone if u wanna stick with android. I agree with the two previous posters 100%

Well unless I get someone to bite on the iPhone 4, looks like I'll be trading for a 2 day old LG Revolution with 3000mAh battery plus $40 cash tomorrow.
Not a bad deal especially to get cash on top.

Don't forget the Kickstand! It is one of my favorite features of the phone especially since it is native to the phone with out a case.
I can agree with the trade too for money purposes. I would not trade just to stick with it though - I agree with the one who said Itunes not good. Apple is too restricted for me at least. Can't say much on the revolution you mentioned as I don't know that phone all that well.
I owned an iPhone 4, its not a bad phone if its jailbroken. I don't have any regrets with selling my iPhone for a thunderbolt. In my opinion Android is by far the better operating system.

Comes down to what you want to use your phone for and what *you* prefer. The fact that some other member prefers Android doesn't mean it should influence you at all.
Now if you become one of those #teamiphone or #teamandroid or #teamblackberry guys it becomes a problem

Not a good move IMO, the iPhone 4 isn't worth much more than the TB, but it's older, has a tiny screen, is thicker, only 3g, and half as useful as any android device. (I am forced to have an iOS device (currently iPad, used to be iPhone 4s) and Blackberry at work, and have the TB as my personal device so I get/have to use everything).
BTW, those saying you can get $300 for a USED iPhone 4 (not 4s), must know some real suckers. For the most part they can be had for under $200... USED Thunderbolts go for about $130-150.
Also, if you plan on selling it and getting a new device, do it soon. Before VZ charges you $30 dollars to "upgrade" starting april 22nd... That would certainly eat into any "profits" you are looking for.
One last thing, I'm not sure how VZ handles going back to a 3g only CDMA device. It's possible they could make you switch plans, meaning you could lose unlimited data. Not sure about that, but probably something you would want to check out.
The iPhone 4 is worth way more. $300 + used. A 32g 4 will easily get you that money. I can buy thunderbolts for $125. Do the trade. Sell it if you want and buy something else or trade it for anything.
EBay will get you good money. My coworker sold a 32g iPhone for $325 last week
I went from the iPhone 4 to the TB, love it but loved my iPhone too...if would have had a larger screen like the TB and the widgets, I would have been all set and probably would still be an iOS freak, lol!
Use it around the house still on wifi for the apps that I cannot get on my TB. You'll enjoy it if you do trade.
Still searching for an iPhone. Have a guy that wants to trade me his Bionic plus an OtterBox. I've got the Trident extended case on my Bolt.
What do you guys think? Never used a Bionic before.

Not sure if anyone has brought this up but I would be interested in seeing a full port of the GS3 TO THE SKYROCKET! I don't know of any deb's working on this but it would be phenomenal!

Um... accidently hit submit but in being taught I think I could help! Also I have been thinking of buying a GS3 but in looking at the specs all that seems different is a slightly larger higher Res screen an s4 processor and correct me of I am wrong but 2gigs of memory? Doesn't seem like enough to jump ship!

The latest SkyICS rom takes many parts of the GS3 including the new Touchwiz, S-Voice, and the 50GB Dropbox bonus. As mentioned, others are working on it as well.
So just curious any of you feel jumping to a GS3 is worth it?

It pisses me off how all Samsung really did was update apps. Wow. And I agree completely that we can run whatever it can, because it is still just going to be a dual core processor too lol its really kinda sad how little they added to it...when the note gets ics its going to have better specs and the gs3 is just going to have more ram lol

It would be really interesting to see if Samsung/AT&T will include some of the features of the SGS3 in the official ICS for our Skyrockets. Time will tell, may even show up in the next ICS leak !!!

I was practically trying to sell my kidney to get one, but after staring at it for a while I'm really not that interested anymore. Will be first in line for next nexus phone. And I'm absolutely grabbing that nexus tablet end of this month if it's not just a rumor. I hate waiting but come september supposing apple is on time with its new lineup, I'll be getting a free iPhone 4, 4s, and iPad from my family who is upgrading so I'll have plenty to sell/trade then.

I have a question.... Why are you on this forum exactly? You are using an iPhone to post to XDA, you're signature gave you away. If you look closely, this is technically an Android forum where we are currently discussing importing one ROM to another phone it has nothing to do with an iPhone whatsoever. Wait I thought you couldn't add custom roms to iPhones? Oh wait, you can't! Look man, even if you have multiple phones, apple or Android, you don't have to come on here and talk crap. Many developers, invest there time to fix things that are broken they don't get a check for this unless is through donations. Stop talking crap bro it doesn't look good on you.
+1 if you're just here to brag about your "superior iphone" and bash android you should just leave

if apple wins this case it will be the joke of the century, one company successfully sues another over the patent for rectangular phone...and the company suing another is a new comer to the phone market...oh america..how low have you gone

over the years what has apple actually innovated on? samsung came out with a touchscreen phone before them..it's nott heir fault hipsters won't accept anything that isnt apple
android has had everything ios didnt way before ios..
wallpapers, voice search, freedom for the user(which ios users still don't have) and more... it's because apple is around, we don't have any competition...they're suing everyone that makes a better phone then them, and you're telling me without them theres no competition?
without apple there is less competition in the lawyer space..opposite for the phone space
The whole thing is a joke. I wish apple had died along with steve jobs.

I am not a fan boy for either side.. In all honesty I like both mobile platforms. But I will be very upset if apple wins this trial.. Even though the galaxy S did look an awful lot like an iphone and the ui in the galaxy S looked like ios at first glance.. I just don't see how you can patent a rectangle or the only practical design . It's not right for apple to say that Samsung copied them when it's obvious that they both inspired each other.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
here's some gather up of stuff i know
1. samsung already had a phone that looks like galaxy s/iphone pre-trial called the F700, the judge deliberately denied it as evidence because it came too late(they submitted it before the trial, how is it too late? if this was a murder investigation, a innocent man will be sentenced to 25years in prison because the evidence that he didn't do it came in too late)
2. we're looking at two rectangles
TWO RECTANGLES...OF COURSE THEY'LL LOOK A LIKE..are you friggen kidding me..
Kinda off topic but...I took my fam to Disneland and I guess I did not notice b4 since its been 4 years since the last time I was there and I didnt knew what a phone ROM was back then....anyways, seriously, about 90% of all the people there had iphones...yes 90%...and thats including all the nationalities u see there. It got me sick knowing the grip that Apple got on the average comsumer that doesn't have the slightest idea what a ROM is. Lets face it...wer just about 3% of the smartphone users out there. Im yet to know someone out there personally that has installed a new custom ROM in their Android device. They think Im just a ****ing nerd genius from another galaxy when I try to explain what I did to mine and my wife's phone. Apple devices have always been well advertised...in commercials, tv shows, and movies...compared to any other smartphone company...way way WAY b4 smartphones for the general population became avialable to the average person. I doubt Samsung (or any other smartphone maker) will ever be able to catch up to Apple. To the average person iphone will always be the one and only smartphone out there because thx to advertisement they have been told that.

The iPhone will create extreme hype and there will be TONS of buyers. IPhone always wins most sold phone. Always.
Generally people thinks that makes it the best phone but there is nothing apple can do to actually make an iOS device better than an ANdroid
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium
I wouldn't say there's nothing they can do, but I don't think they will. It's about preference and what people buy more of doesn't equate to what the best device is. More Ford F150's have been sold than any other vehicle in America in many studies. That doesn't make the F150 better than many sport coupes at the same price point, just for meeting different needs.
The same logic can be applied to Android phones. So many people say Samsung has horrible build quality, because they use plastic. Plastic has many properties that are better for smartphones than metal. It's lighter, better for heat dissipation, more forgiving of drops, etc. That doesn't mean that some people might prefer how sturdy an HTC phone feels.
There is no best. It's about preference.
Man does the new phone look boring and same old, same old.
Now to see how far HTC pushes the ITC...
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/09/10/apple_htc_patent/
For those that don't want to click, HTC is seeking to ban the iPhone 5 in the US due to the fact that HTC owns 2 patents relating to connecting a device to a 4G or LTE network.
Realistically, they'll probably just use it as leverage against Apple for something else rather than have an all out ban on importing the devices; but it will be interesting to see the result.
For the phone specifically...I agree *yawn*. 4 inch screen, big deal. 5 icon rows, whoopie... Absolutely nothing new in that department.
Sammy is also gonna strike at apple with its 12% of the world's LTE patents

According to the articles I've read about the HTC case the only thing they've done (for that specific case) is ask the judge to invalidate the patents...

I was a little late to the smart phone era. The main thing that got me to the iPhone a while back was the fact that you could jailbreak it. At the time, in my opinion, and personal knowledge, Apple iOS had the apps and the features that I wanted in my professional and personal life. Since then, the manufactures, developers and community like this forum have taken the high end android based phones far pass anything Apple could put out. I want to break my phone so I can get a SIII or something just to keep testing out all the awesome things coming out. Keep up the work guys!

I'm givin' her all she's got, Cap'n!
But seriously, when (if?) there's an S4, it really does need to be a significant upgrade from the S3. Why spend all that money for a new phone just to get a little bit more RAM, a little bit faster processor, and a few other very minute improvements? I was ready to sell my SR to get an S3 just before they announced it, but I decided not too because it was so underwhelming. Based on today and *trying to be a reasonable individual* I think that, compared to the jump from SR to S3, the iPhone 4S to iPhone 5 is a pretty good upgrade.
