Any way to increase memory on iphone 3g?!?!

[AlexanderCollins]

hey everyone, today i present a question that i long thought about. last year, i had an ipod touch, 16GB. the 16 gigs of memory is really what i needed, enough space to fit all my music, movies, and apps. this christmas (09-10) i got a 8GB iPhone 3G. i love it a lot, but i cant even fit all my music on it. so after doing a lot of research on the internet, i turned to the hacker community for help. i do know things about electronics, but not much about the anatomy o the iphone. I was thinking that my only hope of upgrading the memory of my phone would be to take out the *8GB hard drive of the phone and replace it with a 16GB hard drive that probably could be purchased online. any help you could provide? or any draw backs? or any reasons that it wouldn't work? thank you for your help!

You would probably end up messing up both the iphone and the ipod. sell them both and get a 16gb 3gs. just my 2¢.

Oh, and memory is RAM, space or "hard drive" (even though it's flash mem) is what you are referring to.

Yea i would do that but my aunt is paying for my service (and my phone) is she learns that i sold mine to get a newer one she would be pissed. thanks through

If your aunt bought your iphone and is paying for your service, I would be happy if I were you. She would probably be more pissed if she found you screwed it up by taking it apart.

Haha yea she also bought me apple care so thats $80 down the drain

dude, just be contented with what you have and don't screw up anything till you can actually afford to buy a replacement yourself
