AT&T drops pricing on refurbished iPhone 3G, still not worth skipping the 3GS
Even AT&T must have expected that it would have trouble burning through iPhone 3G inventory once the 3GS was released. After all, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that a $100 difference in up front cost should be the least of the deciding factors when considering an iPhone — or any smartphone for that matter. Ok $100 might not do it, so AT&T tested the waters back in June with a $120 differential where refurbished 3G units were concerned. Apparently not many people bit because the carrier has decided to shave another $30 off the price of refurbished phones, bringing the 8GB refurb to $49 and the 16GB refurb to $99. So people, the bottom line is if you have $1,680+ to spend on your cell phone service over the next two years (or $960+ on a family plan) but that extra $30 on the handset price was scaring you away… Happy birthday. As far as we’re concerned, the difference between the 3G and the 3GS is well worth $150 up front.
Agreed.
Boring. iPhone is soooo OLD. Can we please talk about something more interesting or new.
not to mention a refurb isn’t worth the box it comes in,,
Gar-bitch!
Wait for iphone 4.0
So you can get a 16 gig, then cancel the service for 150, and it would be cheaper than the iPod touch.

And Best Buy dropped the price of that ancient phone, the Palm Pre, to $99.
These guys, ancient iPhone ancient Pre, must be selling like hotcakes, huh?
DO they sell them out of contract?
@Mitch,
not at the reduced price.

Steve Jobs is getting ready to fuck the “pre” owners in the ass and brick their phones when they try to sync with iTunes.
@David Thande™,
Lol the same can be said about you.

$49? Its worth it!!
Can someone block Jim, this assclown has posted this same shit in other posts.
I still have the original iphone and I still won’t upgrade because I don’t want to pay more for the service.
3GS won’t do much good 99% of the time, since at&t’s network is OVERLOADED. You won’t see the speeds most of the time.
Ugh, not an original thought anywhere in this post. Aside from myself.
Sorry apple… The 3gs is a pass for me, ill stick with my tuh tuh tour. Bring me a physical keyboard and we may(keyword) be in business.
@p51d007 e AT&T has not upgradSincThe speed difference
AT&T had made a lot of dumb moves in the past, it’s amazing they’ve gotten as big as they have. Congress has finally caught on to their monopoly with the iPhone, and is working to cut out its exclusivity contract.http://www.newsy.com/videos/exclusivity_stifling_or_innovative
If you’re so bored, go sweep your kitchen.
