iPhone 3GS 16 gig they will buy for £240. Might convince me to buy my iPhone 4 as PAYG
Just make sure you sell it *before*, otherwise the price is liable to drop...

[Average recycle price for a 3G last year was £200 after the 3GS was released]

MoneySavingExpert.com has a site specifically for finding mobile recycling deals:

Whack your phone in, & it finds all the offers for you.

Current highest for a 16GB 3GS is £260.

When I bought my 3GS last year, I did so before then selling my 3G via Mazuma.

I plan on selling it beforehand this time, & using Mrs D's crappy old spare Nokia (currently used only for Orange Weds) as a temp phone in the period between.

How so?

If you're in an iPhone contract, then not only did you sign a contract for a specified length of time, but your actual iPhone was heavily subsidised... So why should O2 let people off early for free?

As the cheapest Pay Monthly iPhone contract with O2 is £30/month, O2 could have just said "you pay us £30 x however many months you have left" & left it at that, but they didn't: they have offered to let people pay £20 for each remaining month instead.
