At that well-known deal site, i saw this:

With activation of new voice and data plans, AT&T Wireless has several refurbished models of the iPhone 3G on sale, with prices starting at $99. Free shipping via 2-day delivery; sales tax is added where applicable. Note that a $36 activation fee applies.

Wow. Why bother with Wal-Mart at all?

Remember that from AT&T the warranty may only be 90 days. Gotta plug the serial into [selfsolve.apple.com] to know for sure.

Sometime during 2009 my present phone will surely die and I'll be tempted to spend $200 on a new 8GB, but even at $99 today I gotta pass. Dang that monthly fee.

I'm waiting/hoping for the 1st gen iPhones to come back refurb.

That would be fine with me too! Then again, I'd be happy with just an iCellPhone sans data, but I have to admit that being able to get online anywhere there's a phone tower and stream music, play games, Google maps and all the rest is darn nice.

I really need a refurb 1st gen too. I'm stuck with tmobile, and someone stepped on my newest phone in alaska. I went back to my previous phone, and the buttons are starting to get hard to press. I'm living on borrowed time! When apple has them, what category do they put them under? iPods? Or do they make a new one? kj.

i have a 1st gen 4GB i'm going to sell soon, it's at 2.2 and jailbroken.

I'm hoping to get more than 2 years out of my 'Phone, barring loss or mistreatment. I'll pony up to have the battery replaced as I'm in no hurry to suffer the pain of at&t's rates for the 3G.

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.
