I was looking at the apple store and I saw that they have 8GB refurbed iPhone's for 349.99. I was wondering should I just get the refurbished one and save $50 (I know I'm cheap) or buy a brand new one.

They are apple certified and they come with the one year warranty.

Thanks
 
Nothing wrong with saving $50. Ive bought 2 refurbed iphones, a refurbed macbook, and countless refurbed ipods. Cant tell from new. They are repaired and returned to new condition.

Alot of ppl seem to think the refurbs are somehow less quality than a new one. But the thing is the refurbs WERE NEW units at one point, but returned for a variety of reasons. Buying new certainly doesnt guarantee you will get a defect free anything.
