Crazy AT&T gets $150 refurb'd iPhone 3G in stock, will club a baby seal if you don't buy one
Engadget — If Walmart's $197 iPhone 3G had you salivating, wait until you get ahold of this deal: AT&T has refurbished iPhone 3Gs in stock for a mere $150, effectively doubling your rice and ramen budget for the month should you take the plunge. AT&T claims the refurbs were returned within the 30 day trial period, are quality tested, and might be just a little scuffed up. If you're really feeling wild, there's also a 16GB refurb available for $250. Apple and AT&T are being a little shady on the warranty, stating "90 days or more," as opposed to the standard one year, but that's a risk you and your growling stomach are just going to have to take.

AT&T's refurbished iPhone 3Gs are a lame deal
Ars Technica - Infinite Loop — [image] For $150 for 8GB or $250 for 16GB, you can now pick up a slightly-reduced-cost iPhone 3G from AT&T's online store.

Save (a little) Money By Buying Someone Else's Refurbished iPhone
iSmashPhone — So, AT&T finally cut the prices on 8 and 16 gig iPhone 3G's. Kinda. As you can see, they're now offering refurbished handsets for US$149.00/249.00, respectively.  Which is only a slim, trim fifty bucks less than a virgin iPhone.  And you still have to commit to a two-year contract. Hardly seems worth the effort.  Unless you're really, really broke, and need ...

iPhone Price Drops To $99 -- Refurbished (AAPL)
Silicon Alley Insider — The $99 iPhone is here -- but probably in limited quantities. AT&T; (T) is selling Apple's (AAPL) phone refurbished for $100 off its retail price. That means 8GB iPhones are $99 and 16GB iPhones are $199 -- both with a 2-year contract and 90-day warranty. We assume the carrier is trying to get rid of its inventory before the end of the year and that the $99 refurbished units won't be in heavy supply for long. But we also don't think it'll be long before Apple and AT&T; drop the price for new iPhones to $99. Apple is in the early stages of a platform land grab against Google (GOOG), Research In Motion (RIMM) and perhaps Palm (PALM), and market share is important. Dropping the ...

Apple iPhone 3G 8GB refurbished for $99.00 from AT&T

AT&T’s Refurbished iPhone Costs Hit Rock Bottom!
Planet iPhones —      Most people that have an iPhone would agree that it’s an amazing and revolutionary smart phone even though some “key features” such as tethering and A2DP Bluetooth are absent.

AT&T offering $99 refurbished iPhones the 31st
Apple Gazette — Wal-Mart is officially selling iPhones now, but there is no $99 unit in sight….at least not there. AT&T, however, is offering refurbished iPhones for $99 for an 8GB model, and $199 for a 16GB model. This price drop is in effect until 12/31/08 - so you have some time left if you’d like to get one at the discounted price. Click here to grab one now. This situation has led some to speculate (and then pretend it’s a rumor from a super secret “source”) that Apple will be unveiling a 32GB iPhone at Macworld 2009. The truth is, at this point - we don’t have a realistic clue what - if ANYTHING - Apple will be revealing at their last Macworld. We ...

iPhones on the cheap: an updated look
Ars Technica - Infinite Loop — Here at Ars central, we have been debating the merits of the 8GB refurb iPhone 3G. Now costing just $99, this latest deal lets you pick up an iPhone for $100 less than you would normally pay, at least until December 31 when the refurb price jumps back to $149. So is this a good deal or not, Ars readers? Well, we have some conflicting opinions. New or refurb? If you're planning on buying the iPhone 3G and sticking with the mandatory two-year contract terms that AT&T mandates, we mildly recommend that you consider anteing up the full $199 and purchase a completely new device. By purchasing a new unit, you're guaranteed a brand new, never used phone that contains the full one year AppleCare. That's an aesthetic win for ...
