For those of you looking to upgrade from the original iPhone to it’s 3G big brother, it looks like you’re going to have another option for your old phone. Rather than wiping the notes and selling your older iPhone, it seems you can still use it as an iPod.

According to an AT&T spokesperson, “whether the [original] device is not re-activated as a wireless

phone after you’ve upgraded to iPhone 3G, it will still work as an iTunes player and can access Wi-Fi”. Sounds like a good alternative whether you ask me. next you can gift the cool new iPod to a friend or relative that might not have AT&T or otherwise have use for a full-fledged iPhone.
