What's to refurbish? Clean off the fingerprints, blow out the dust, wipe the drive ... slash $400 off the price? Doesn't say much for the original price point.

This doesn't even deserve a comment.

i checked the site and it's showing me a $100 off graphic.
$99 - $100 = free
the nice lady that answered, wasn't really informed. she did however read me an email saying that the iphone is not sold for any less than $99...
i'll keep digging, i was going to get a blackjack II refurb for $40 and it disappeared the day after i got money in my account to order it.
i will post what i find here...

i called again and got a more informed person...
the graphic i'm seeing says "save" not "save an extra" like the screen grab in the article.
she said that the usual discount for a refurb iphone is $50 (from $199 to $149), and it will return to $50 on the first.
so no iphone under $100... count the fact that you can't remove the $30 a month data plan, and the iron fist control over apps that apple insists on, and it's still not worth it.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't refurbs be devices that..
a) were returned as faulty
b) were returned as "we don't want them"
Are Apple seeing so many of their not-so-smart phones returned that they are able to offer bulk refurb services?

"With any luck at all, your pre-owned iPhone won't have had its data wiped clean, and you'll be able to make some new friends."
I dont want the iPhone but can you guys be my friends anyway? All I require is good beer and maybe a grope or two while passed out.

I tried to get some of this action - you HAVE to buy another phone, which can't be an iphone, at the same time, both with the 2 year deal. No thanks
