I have a 1st gen iphone and am upgrading to 3G. Can I still use my old iphone as a ipod touch?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

"When AT&T kills your old iPhone’s activation you lose the ability to make calls, text message, and use AT&T’s EDGE network for an Internet connection. However, that still leaves you with an extremely functional device—essentially an iPod touch that also sports a microphone, speaker, and digital camera. You can continue to use the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store and the App Store (over Wi-Fi), the iPod functionality, Maps, Mail, Safari, YouTube, Photos, Calendar, Stocks, Weather, Clock, Calculator, and Notes. Add Apple’s free Remote application from the App Store and you’ve got the coolest remote control in Mac-dom.
With the PwnageTool you can choose to jailbreak the phone (you don’t have to unlock it in the process), which gives you access to applications developed outside the App Store environment. For example, you’ll find utilities for customizing the iPhone’s interface and for accessing the inner workings of your iPhone.
It’s hard to imagine a more functional non-functional gadget—one that maintains its original value and, even when deprived of its phoney prowess, provides a wealth of practicality and power."

I can't guarantee you that I am right though as I don't have iPhone.

In order to avoid the phone getting re-locked though, you will want to jailbreak it. Although that may sounds scary if you've never done it, it just involves running a program on your desktop with your iPhone connected via USB, and takes less than 5 minutes.
When new iPhone firmware is released, do not download it right away. Instead, wait until that new version has also been jailbroken, and then upgrade. The reason for this suggestion is that with some firmware upgrades, the phone gets relocked and will ask for activation. If you wait until the firmware has been jailbroken, then you avoid that hassle.
I've done this with my first generation iPhone, and everything works just fine. The only issue is that you need to remember that, despite it being an iPhone, it has no cell signal, so nothing that connects to the Internet will work unless you have a Wi-Fi connection.

M$Using Wifi you'll be able to download applications on it from the App Store, browse the web and of course listen to music.
Further more you could use it as a phone where you have Wifi access using a free VOIP application. Search for Truphone on the app store.
Hope this helps,

What happens when you get the 3G iphone and service to the old SIM is disconnected? I imagine it will say something along the lines of invalid SIM until one is inserted.
If I am right, and I hope I am wrong, you can always jailbreak the phone.
