I've never been so tempted by an Apple product. But I need 30gb of storage and I positively loathe the recessed headphone jack. Still an incredible deal.
 
Wow, I hope that they sell them at this price for at least a few weeks. Very tempting. Same price as iPod touch but with camera, speakers, etc...
 
what if you don't have good credit? Someone mentioned something about credit earlier when you activate the phone. I don't wanna buy it and then not be able to use it because I don't have great credit. Right now my phone is under my mother's line but I she wants the unlimited plan for $100 so I need my own plan and this is the perfect chance for me to get my iPhone.

But then...the starting price will still be at the US$ 400.00 mark.
I am about to ignore my senses (was saving for an iPod Touch 16Gb)
and get this deal today.

:rolleyes:

The ONLY thing holding myself is the fact that I was getting used to have 16 Gb and now I might get only 7 Gb (8Gb less the OS).

I would not mind paying 400 for a 802.11n and 3G iPhone with either 16Gig or 32 Gig storage.

More music (it is an iPod also) and more video.

You can try...I did but they wanted $750 deposit so I walked in with my mother. Nothing stopped me from getting this phone. Now that I have I don't know why I waited so long. And you can get the family plan and have the iphone data plan for just yours. Trust me...before I purchased the iphone I researched every aspect of it. I spent the $400 but it didn't bother me; I'd rather be the first person to open the box than the second. But that's just me plus my boss was uber generous so she bought it rather than me. The point....there are alternatives if you lack the credit needed for the phone.
 
Is it just the $249 + Tax?

Are there any other hidden fee's in the initial purchase?

Or are they applied when you activate?
 
If I am an existing customer, is it possible to insert my sim into the Iphone and ask ATT to put the Iphone plan on my account without having to activate the sim it comes with, so that I can avoid a 2 year renewal? Also, how often can these 2 year renewals be done? Curious because I renewed by contract ~3 months ago. Thanks

$249 no sales tax and no delivery charge for 2-day priority shipping at time of order. There was no indication of any hidden fees when I ordered and I doubt any will show up when I activate.

No, you'll get charged tax. Wait until you see your credit card statement.

No, but you can simply unlock it with Ziphone and then plop in your SIM and it'll work :) ziphone is ridiculously simple and fast... youc an probably even avoid the actual unlock and simply activate it with ziphone, since you are using an att sim. worst case though, you simply press a diff button
 
so does anyone know what the box for the refurb actually looks like? I've seen some generic cruddy brown boxes on ebay and some rather pleasing white boxes on google images... so what is att shipping???

im in for 2 :) just spent $500 at 230am with an exam in a few hours and no job... :apple::D

The problem is that my current phone isn't an Iphone. So I'd have to get the Iphone data plan and thereby activate my phone. I don't think I can avoid the renewal. :(
 
Is there anyone in this forum who can buy one for me and send it to germany ?
It is not possible to insert a foreign adress in the orderform !
I can pay it by paypal.
 
Anyone feel like shipping one to Denmark? ;)

We don't have the iPhone yet :(

But that is a steal, especially factoring in the current state of the $ compared to the € !
 
Is it just me, or does it seem to be gone? When I click on the link today, I get a page like this...

I'm also obtaining the same empty website on my Mac & iPhone's
Safari.
