Your link in your blog doesn't work, plus it's annoying to have to go there to get to the AT&T site. Here's the link for everyone else:

Crap..now the big decision.. do I buy one now, then get the 3G when it comes out and use this one as a spare? Garrrrr..why do you do this to me ATT!!!
OMG!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much buddy. I just ordered one. Should be getting it in two days!!!!!!!!!!!!
My favorite posts have been the sellers that are waiting for the v2 and they've sold their iPhones and are using $10 AT&T Go Phones! LOL I almost put myself in that situation. Refurbs=Good for those sellers waiting for v2?
Last week? I looked last week and didn't see it. Oh well, at least I got one. I probably got one because people are waiting for the 3 g, but since I don't get 3 g in my area it doesn't matter.
The closest place is over 100 miles for 3g. So it isn't any skin off of my teeth if I don't get the 3g phone. Just as long as I can get onto the internet with wifi i will be good to go.
Have you tried letting someone else get it for you?
AT&T's policy website on grace period for service:

I would hope this applies to all "returns" as part of the trial period of new service. (Considering that you did not unlock or jailbreak).
Thanks ^^^^. I also found out if you buy a refurb online, you can online return it by doing it over the phone.
I'm interested in buying one, but I don't want to activate it with AT&T. How do I go about doing that? Can I buy one and then just unlock it?
[UPDATE] Can I buy a refurb from AT&T, unlock, and sell it on eBay? Am I obligated to ATT for my purchase?

No, you're not obligated. If you want to unlock, search about on the forums here or google iliberty or pwnage tool.
I know my idea doesn't help those of you wanting an iPhone for yourself, but...
So I could by an iPhone, and my wife could as well...
leaving me with two iPhones to sell on eBay?

I think there was something about one per household somewhere. I ended up with two through a credit card snafu (eventually I was charged for both, but, hey, I'm thinking along hondje's lines).
I am pretty happy they did this again! I missed it last time, not knowing they would be gone within hours. I finally got a 16 GB iPhone from this deal. Waiting for 3G was not a big deal since it is not offered nearby.
Good lookin out to the OP for posting this info because I was little bummed I missed out last week. Gotta love
Thanks for the love, mate!
Lotta people were bummed they missed it last week - I'm happy to see everybody get another shot (why pay full price and get roped into a contract?!?!?).
