Looking for iPhone and laptop
13 years ago
So. I badly need to upgrade my 1st gen iPhone I've had for forever and a half now. :P Even just the next step up, the plain ol' 3G version I'd be happy with. My main issue is not being able to install any sort of version 4 OS at all to take advantage of nitfty-er apps (e.g., Square's credit card reader!)
Also badly needed is a laptop. Intel i3 or newer. I recently had a fooked up experience buying one on eBay... did not know they have lojack on laptops now, WTF?!? And the software is nearly completely un-removable, being installed in the BIOS with no option to disable/remove. Long story short... got a nice Toshiba i3 for less than $300, which ends up being reported stolen a month after getting it. >.< Eugh. So it was rendered completely useless, had to return and get money back, etc.
Of course I am willing to pay, or trade partial/all of for art and/or suit work. :D

I was all ready to recommend a Sansa Fuze as a better alternative to an iPod, but it sounds like you're in the market for a smart phone, not an .mp3 player.
Good luck in your search for the right phone!
Dunno how you feel about Macs, since you mentioned Intel, but hey -- worth putting it out there!
