Thoughts on buying iPhone 1st generation in 2013?

Not to use as a phone! (I have the OG Atrix for that) but as a collectors item/something that could hold alot more value in the future. You can get the original iPhone for 50-80 dollars on ebay in pretty good condition, do you guys think that buying a few of them to hold on to would pay off at all in the future (5-10 years from now) when people will begin to want them as collectors items? Or does it not really matter at all once they've been used does that make them junk?

I would buy it. I mean its gonna suck but its cool to have

I think itll prbly just lose its value

I think its a good idea to do that and put it away for 30 years in a box somewhere safe. You can also pass it down to others at some point, easy to keep and just put away.

  • What has an IPhone 5 got that an IPhone 1st generation or 3gs doesn't? I want an IPhone 5 but it's too expensive, I can get an IPhone 1st generation or 3gs but what's the difference?
  • What apps will work on the iPhone 1st generation 3.1.3? I just traded my iPod touch 3rd generation for an iPhone 1st generation. While thinking this was a good deal, I didn't know that I wouldn't be able to get any apps. This iPhone has iOS 3.1.3. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Also, if I jailbreak the iPhone, would this work to get all the apps I want?
  • Thoughts on this generation? Children my age get blamed for this generation being messed up. I totally agree I the this generation. I wish we could go back to childhood, where when we were 5 we'd be out playing with our friends. 5 year olds now are sitting in all day in their iPhones. 13 year olds dress inappropriate and wear too much makeup. Songs are rubbish and technology is ruining everything. This is for an essay so your opinion on this generation would really help.
  • Is it worth buying an iPhone 3GS in 2013? They have a suck *** droid that barely works half the time. He doesn't need a fancy phone, just something that will work. iPhone 3GS runs abount $160 on ebay. Is it worth buying?
