Migration from old iPhone to iPhone 3G

  • iPhone EDGE > iPhone 3G
    • Erase data on the old device. Apple recommends that the old device be upgraded with iPhone 2.0 software. Once the iPhone has been upgraded to iPhone 2.0 software, perform Erase All Content and Settings. This process will take approximately 1 hour for 8GB iPhone and should completely wipe the data off the old iPhone.
