Canada’s Fido now offering “refreshed” iPhone 3Gs
To say that a new iPhone is not on its way is like saying Glenn Beck isn’t messed in the head, and the fact that Canada’s Fido is now offering “refreshed” iPhone 3G’s to clean house is yet another piece of supporting evidence. Refreshed? Yes, refreshed. Essentially, a refreshed iPhone 3G was purchased by someone who returned it before 15 days or 30 minutes of talk time — which differs from “refurbished”, e.g. a phone that got stepped on at a kegger and had a few parts replaced by Apple. The savings on a refreshed iPhone 3G are not much to fawn over at $50, making the 8GB $149.99 and the 16GB $249.99. Warranties on refreshed units are curtailed by six months as well, but it’s not like that’s going to stop a fickle consumer from getting his/her refresh on.
Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?
Sit Fido, sit. Good dog.
I actually like Glen Beck and have NO plan to buy the overpriced, overhyped iPhone…

They might even be the 1st ones to start selling them outright. Yes even before Rogers
Sorry… you lost my interest with the Glenn Beck comment. I don’t read this blog for political commentary.
Stick to phones because you know very little about politics.

I dont think saying Glenn Beck is messed up in the head is a political statement, if youve ever watched his show you know he is messed up in the head, and not for his political views.
Oh Apple and conspiring carriers, you’re so silly thinking your phone is still worth so much second hand.. Stop all this nonsense and come back to reality.
Good bye forever BGR, I don’t come to a tech blog site to here political rambligs from the authors. Peace out

What a shame. I expect much more out of y’all than a glenn beck comment. Boo hiss.
a glenn beck joke constitutes political rambling? if you’ve ever watched the colbert report you’ll now that glenn beck is touched in the head.
@bob…
right! wonder why thy don’t make obama jokes? they must think he’s the messiah if they think glenn beck is messed up in the head. or the poster isn’t intelligent enough to comprehend what glenn beck says. really. the constant bashing of beck and rush is getting old.
50 bucks for 6 months less warranty, I am not sure if that’s a good idea.
iPhone battery charge is a concern toward the end of warranty period.
What’s with the Glenn Beck comment? What is it about liberals having to wear their politics on their sleeve? Stick to what you are good at and save the lib jabs for the BoyMoronReport.

Okay, we either have a lot of mormons or mormon-apologetic republicans on this sight. I’m republican and I think Glenn Beck has a few screws loose. Yeah the hippie-crack right-bashing is getting a little old, but give credit where credit is due.
Anyone who wants more than 1 wife, is a nut or a masochist.
wow! sounds like a sweet deal to me! Oh, wait… Best Buy offers the same units with a 2 year contract on AT&T and a full one year warranty, and their full protection plan for accidental damage if you want it.
Well, I guess its as good as you van get in Canada. Hope they’re matching that offer in Future Shop!
Glenn beck sucks donkey balls!

I really hope this new iphone cures cancer like the hype that surrounds it!
Canada does not care about Glenn Beck
wow $50 off for godknowswhatthepreviousownerdidtohisphone, hope theres no porn on it, oh yeah only 6 months warranty!
stop the bs already rogers/fido
i’ll give a hint: 50% off + 1 full year warranty and i’ll think about it mkay!
@jeremy – ditto,,,ditto….ditto.
If the post made fun of Canada instead of Glen Beck I’m sure all the complainers here would love that, hypocrites.
It’s just a joke, get over it.
Small correction. Fido doesn’t NOT have a 30min talk time rule. 15days no matter how much talk time.
