Well, it was only a matter of time. We've been keeping an eye on AT&T's newish program of offering refurbished phones on new plans... they've had Blackberrys up for a while, the Pantech Duo and LG Trax went up the other day, and now cheap refurbished Apple iPhones are available. Hooray?
Specifically, it's a refurbished 8GB iPhone that's gone up for $250, which is $150 less than a brand-new model. That's a decent chop, but don't forget the mandatory 2-year contract with purchase.
Also don't forget that AT&T doesn't offer cell phone insurance on iPhones, Apple Care won't be available on a refurb, and even if they did, it would cost too much for too little. A SquareTrade iPhone warranty for an iPhone refurb will run you $30 for a full year of coverage, and if anything goes wrong, you'll get your $250 back to go buy a new phone. Up to you.
Keep in mind, these are iPhones that have broken down once before, so it's strictly Buyer Beware.
