Flipswap, a mobile device recycling site, is offering Apple iPhone users up to $450 for their devices. So the iPhone customers stuck with iDo nothing device can break contract with AT&T, exclusive U.S. distributor of the iPhone, and buy a Droid as it costs $99-$199 with a two-year contract.

Flipswap is offering for even the original iPhone, now two years old, $100. “Instead of sticking your iPhone in a drawer or throwing it in the trash, you can turn it in and get cash,” says a spokewoman Kathleen Stuart. Going after iphone users and still Flipswap spokesperson denied working with Verizon.

Verizon spokesman Jim Gerace commented “We’re glad they’re helping to keep iPhones out of landfills,”.

For Verizon and AT&T, the fight for smart phone customers is heating up. Verizon recently unveiled an ad campaign that features side-by-side 3G coverage maps. The maps show, clearly, that AT&T’s 3G coverage – a source of constant complaints by iPhone users is paltry in comparison to Verizon. Verizon, in the ad, asserts that it has five times more 3G coverage. AT&T doesn’t disagree, but it is suing Verizon anyways, claiming the ad is misleading to consumers.
