I would keep the ATT plan for a few months probably, just to play with 3G...i am out of contract with TMobile, so not a big deal.

I am just curious if I should just wait for what's released this summer...whatever it is, is it worth the wait/risk? This is a pretty good deal..200$ for refurb + cashback...

I just want to make sure i'll keep my phone IF I cancel my plan...if I cancel after 30 days, I will pay 175 + first month, correct?

so 100 + 36 for activation + 175 ETF + 70 for first month.

so about 380...I would be able to keep my phone, yes? :D
 
i ordered one too, for the hell of it; my 1st gen is shot and I was planning on buying whatever comes around the bend (this June hopefully) anyways. I'll post up when it arrives on Monday.
 
Nope, for the same reason you can't get a new 16GB for $299. I'm guessing the refurb will cost you about $299-$399.

You actually can't pay full retail for the refurb's it is only available to people that are adding a line or else if they are eligible for an upgrade..
 
Just curious, I ordered a couple phones via the premier store yesterday morning for the wife and myself. The order status page has been stuck on processing since shortly after. How long generally after does it take to ship. They did post phone numbers about 3 hours in to the process for what its worth.

I ordered mine on wednesday and it was not until the mid-day thursday did it come up with tracking numbers.. It started off in Dallas and now is in Kentucky, all on its way to California :confused:.. I was hoping for a shipment today but now it looks like Mondays the day

I'm in EXACTLY the same boat at the moment. Mine are not new service, both are existing upgrades. FWIW, I did get two emails about by new IPhone service from AT&T so something is moving along.

I ordered mine yesterday morning (added a line), I got the tracking info this morning, and mine has also just left Kentucky to California for Monday Feb. 23rd delivery. This morning I also got the new phone number and info emails.

Man that upsets me, I ordered mine a day before yours so you would think it would come a day before... but no not till monday
 
Well my order went in around 9 AM yesterday as of now 5:30 its still showing processing. so its probably going to be at least Monday if not later. My confirmation email says 2-5 days for it to go out :( . The have taken my money from my bank account though so I dont know what that means.
 
Can you pick these up at the Apple Store when you buy them from ATT? I know you can if you buy them straight from Apple.
 
just got an update email this evening. They must be selling a ton of these because based on the times on the I have on the emails I have gotten and the tracking information from FedEX there is about a 27 delay in notification of shipping and when they actually picked up the package or that was the case for me.
 
All on it's way to Long Beach

The White 16GB and Black 16GB iPhone Refurbished are both out of stock.
Guess a lot of people really snagged this deal.
 
Its interesting that the ATT website says the refurbs are "unused or lightly used and returns." My local store didn't have any iphones on display. Could ATT be selling those display models in advance of new ones this summer? Seems a bit early. Lets see, 6 kiosks of iPhones x assume 1,000 ATT stores = 6,000 phones available for sale, plus actual customer returns?

If it's in Kentucky, it's at the eastern UPS hub here in Louisville. It'll fly out overnight.

No I just went and paid my bill at the AT&T store and they had all there displays still up, like you said it's still too early to be preparing for a new model... Which is at least 4-6 (maybe even longer) months away...

That's quite a trip since the 19th; anywhere near Signal Hill? My brother is in that area...

Yeah no more than 10 minutes from there, I am near the Long Beach Town Center if that rings a bell, 605 and Carson street? And your right, It is quite a trip on its way west..

Refurbs are here!

My 8GB 3G and 16GB 3G are here. They both look completely flawless and activated seamlessly through automated activation service.

Unless they fall apart in the next 24 hours, I could not be more pleased. Both were upgrades to existing contracts, the 8GB replaced a RAZR and the 16GB replaced my 16GB Gen 1 IPhone.
