look up on youtube how to jailbreak iphone 2.0 firmware. but you can sell the iphone on ebay and just buy a brand new ipod touch.

The iPhone was not meant to be used without AT&T wireless service. It may work as an iPod for a while, but it would eventually malfunction due to never being updated properly through iTunes and not having a SIM card. I have heard of people jailbreaking the iPhone, but this is generally only done for use with other networks, not for use as an iPod alone. I am actually looking to purchase an iPhone and would buy the iPhone from you if you would be willing to sell it. How much would you want for it? If you sold it you would have enough money to purchase an actual iPod that would work great for what you would want to use it for! Message me if you're interested in selling it. I work for AT&T and we are not allowed to purchase them through AT&T quite yet.
