Anyone know what it might be? Will it be discounted off the subsidized price or off the unlocked price that ATT will offer in the future? Thanks
 
The old iPhones were $50 cheaper.

I would imagine the same, but you will still require a contract and be eligible for a subsidy...
 
A bit ahead of the curve but a good question.
We know there are bad phones out there so they'll be back in circulation soon.
Apple and AT&T offered the refurbs about 3 months (memory?) after the phone's release.
If they do this again, which they should, then you'll likely see a street price reduced by $50 as gkarris said.
 
^^^ I think was more like 6-8 months after release.

They will wait until after they get a good stock of warranty replacements.
 
The refurbs were first offered in March of this year. AT&T sold them at $200 for the 4GB and $250 for the 8GB. This was less than what Apple was selling them for.
 
Just thinking it might be a hard sell if they are selling them without contract for more than the subsidized price ATT is selling them for.

Also currently iPod Touch 8 GB is going for $199 while 16 GB is going for $299. Same as subsidized ATT iPhone prices. Meaning you would think a refurb iPhone would be going for $299/$399 without contract? I don't know would be interesting to see how it goes down. Feel free to give some more predictions...

Will they allow them out of the store this go around without signing a contract?

This is new territory. No one knows. It's hard to say which way Apple and AT&T will go with refurb pricing of the 3G. My guess is that it won't be the same as it is/was with the 1st gen iPhone.
