I have gotten a good number of e-mails and comments recently asking if my iPhone still works without AT&T service, or if it’s been turned into a brick.
I’m happy to report that after several system updates it is still working fine, including the e-mail, Maps and YouTube via WiFi. Basically, it’s an iPod touch with unused phone capabilities.

Hi there, I’m from germany and here I try to integrate a blog that cares about these problems your posted here. As I know from the newspapers Apple offers you a 100 bugs because they droped the price of the iPhone. Did you allready get the money for yours?
Beside: “Cool that you turned the cell to an iPod Touch instead :-)”
All the best,
Chris

Well, it’s a little better than an iPod Touch because it has the Mail app on it (IIRC, there’s no Mail app on the Touch).

I wonder if it’s possible to get it to use any other provider instead? Have you checked if that is possible?

A non-functional iPhone vs iPod
The iPhone has
1) Camera
2) Mail app (this is big for me).
3) The Notes app
4) Weather app
5) Stocks app
If these are important to you, then the iPhone is worth it. Especially with the price drop.

@Rich: Don’t forget
6) Maps.app
“Song Skip” button on headset
7) Real volume buttons
9) Speaker
10) and if you jailbreak it a voice recorder
All in all worth the 100$.
