    Default Jailbreak iphone 3g with no wireless plan (turn it into an ipod touch)

    Hello all,
    I am very new to jailbreaking as you can tell. I have an iphone 3g that I do not use anymore and I would like to jailbreak it and just use it over wifi. Should I follow the iphone 3g protocols or the ipod touch protocol? What should i do differently?

    Thanks for all of your help!

    In my opinion, I'd just trade the iPhone 3G for an iPod Touch 3G. Or sell it (how much you can get really depends on area, my area sells for about $150-$180) then spend a few extra bucks on the new iPod touch 4g. Well worth the money. But if not, then do what mukhtarh1 said.

    I know that I could just use it without the sim card/just on wifi. I want to explore/play with jailbreaking a phone that I do not use anymore. I already have the iphone 4. My only question is if I should do anything different with the 3g jailbreak protocol because I am not planning on using it with a phone plan.

    Thanks

    That's good for you. It's not like that in every area. Mine sold for $200 with a new red housing.

    Ohio. I wouldn't be surprised to see higher prices on both ends of the coasts though. Ohio is a pretty cheap area, I would be pleasantly surprised to see an iPhone 3G for $100. That's how much iPhone 2G's sell around here
