Best deal on iPhone?

[digiblur]

No, it's not for me. You couldn't pry the Touch Pro out of my fingers unless you had a Touch Pro 2 to trade me.

A co-worker is getting a phone for her dad and he wants an iPhone. He's not in contract right now. Where and what is the best deal on the iPhone?

 

[JAG72]

The only bad part is there is generally no deals on Apple products. The best deal you can get is on a referb from the Apple store.

 

[JAG72]

AT&T has a 8GB refurb for $99 or a 16GB for $149. Not that bad of a price since Apple normally replaces the screen case and battery with all of the refurbs.

this, my refurb iphone had a one year warrenty with it. usually it comes with close to a one year warrenty as well, or jsut a little less, I would really hold off though as I am reading/hearing they are going to release a 4gb model and if her dad dosent need a lot of space that could be the best version to go with.

A 16GB for $149 would be an excellent deal, especially with a warranty. That and the soon-to-be-released version 3.0 firmware would make it hard to pass up. In fact, I am eligible for an upgrade at the end of June and I may try this -- if there are any left!

I noticed last night I got an update "to prepare for 3.0" Interesting.

Was it the iTunes update?

 

[navychop]

Yes.

 

[Pepper]

Wake me when 3.0 is jailbroken.

 

[JAG72]

OK, the $99 on a referb 8GB is not a great deal anymore as that is the standard pricing as of today.

 

[navychop]

Well, the improved battery life on the new 3GS interests me, but I've only had my 3G a few months. Guess I'll wait it out.

Where do you see this? I just checked ATTWireless.com and it's still the same as it was last week.

 

[navychop]

It's in the press releases about the new 3GS iPhone. They dropped pricing on the current model. Try CNN.

 

[JAG72]

I would give the AT&T a little bit to get the price updated.

Apple - iPhone - Buy iPhone 3G

 

[robk299]

I overheard them talking at the AT&T store today about the price drop, so I would start there.

 

[JamesJ]

also 16gb are 149 while they last.

It already is Jailbroken.
