This article explains how to replace an original iPhone with an iPhone 3G using the same carrier. If you follow these steps to backup your original iPhone first, and then restore the backup to your iPhone 3G, your saved SMS messages, email accounts, photos, notes, and other personal settings will be present on your iPhone 3G.
To replace an original iPhone with an iPhone 3G, follow these steps:
1. Purchase iPhone 3G from an Apple Store or from a carrier.
In the US, iPhone 3G includes a SIM and your original iPhone's SIM is not needed. Your original iPhone account information will be transferred to iPhone 3G's included SIM when you purchase iPhone 3G. To dispose of your original iPhone SIM, contact your carrier.
In other countries where the original iPhone was sold, you can use your original iPhone's SIM with iPhone 3G. Contact your carrier for additional information.
2. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and iPhone OS.
Click to download the latest version of iTunes. Note that when you start using iPhone 3G, you will need iTunes 7.7 or later.
3. Connect your original iPhone to iTunes and sync it. Verify that your original iPhone is backed up. For more information on how to do this, see
iPhone: About backups.
4. Connect iPhone 3G to iTunes (on the same computer you used to back up your original iPhone), and then iTunes will ask you if you want to restore from a backup or set up iPhone 3G as a new phone. When prompted, select the backup of your original iPhone.
5. After iTunes finishes restoring the backup you selected to iPhone 3G, iPhone 3G will restart. When iPhone 3G appears again in the iTunes window, select it. Then click the tabs (Music, Photos, and so on) and verify or change the items you want to sync. Then click Apply to sync iPhone 3G with iTunes.
6. Verify that your saved SMS messages, email accounts and passwords, photos, notes, and other personal settings are present on your iPhone 3G. Note that you will be required to enter email account passwords again.
If saved SMS messages, email accounts, photos, notes, or other personal settings are not present on your new iPhone 3G, the restore from backup may not have been successful. In that case, verify your original iPhone is properly backed up (see step 3), then use iTunes to
restore iPhone OS on iPhone 3G and continue following these instructions at step 4.
To erase your original iPhone so someone else can use it, tap
Setting > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on your original iPhone.

No, we’re not dead, but once again, life is throwing a dozen different things in our paths that have us juggling them as best we can, and for the most part, those life obligations tend to take priority over the blog, sadly. We’re still alive and kicking though, even if we seem to be very quiet at the moment. With the 3G launch a mere four days away you can be sure we’ll be covering as much of it as we can. I would personally like to be able to get down to an Apple Store to cover the event, but my scheduling at the moment doesn’t make that very likely — so once again I will just have to live vicariously through the blogs and newswires of others to cover whatever event information becomes available.
I have company over at the moment but hopefully I’ll be able to come back a little later on this evening to post a thing or two about a thing or two.
I also got a pretty awesome add-on for the latest Firefox called ScribeFire which lets me publish rich content to the blog from wherever I am without having to deal with WordPress’ blasted POS editor, so blogging will end up becoming considerably easier.
Patience, friends.

This software has a friendly interface targeted at consumers.
While the content is consumer grade, I have seen IBM experimenting with an EHR that uses an image of the human body to organize information.
Here is some information from ADAM as well as a screen shot. SVThe free Symptom Navigator for the iPhone 3G helps consumers match medical symptoms with relevant assessments and appropriate treatments. Symptom Navigator empowers consumers to make the best use of the healthcare system and understand when self-care or a doctor visit is appropriate. To access the Symptom Navigator on the iPhone 3G, visit http://iphone.adam.com. The tool offers possible causes of the symptom and medical condition, how to self treat, when it is an emergency, when you should call a doctor, and how to prevent it in the future.
Using the Symptom Navigator, consumers are presented with an image of the human body and they click on the affected area of the body to receive a menu of related symptoms. After selecting a symptom, the user is walked through the possible causes, home care, when to consult your doctor, and what to expect from your doctor. This data is provided by A.D.A.M. from their medically reviewed, evidence-based and URAC accredited Health Encyclopedia. A.D.A.M. owns one of the largest consumer health libraries in the world.
