AT&T offering $150 refurbished 16GB iPhone 3G
AT&T has cut its price on refurbished 16GB iPhone 3G units, dropping the price by $50 to $150, or a savings of $150 off a new unit. In February, AT&T lowered its pricing on refurbished iPhone 3Gs to $99 (from $149) for 8GB models and $199 (from $249) for 16GB units; the pricing on 8GB models remains unchanged from this prior drop. As with new iPhone 3Gs, the refurbished units require a two-year contract, and AT&T notes that all refurbished iPhones carry a warranty of 90 days or more and may have “minor scratches.” [via Dealmac]

$150 is a tempting price. I’ve been happy with the first-gen refurb I bought for $250, but I am so ready for faster Internet speeds and GPS. I need to check with AT&T;to see what (if any) upgrade options I have toward the “iPhone Pro” (or whatever the new model may be called).

Two more 1st gen. upgrade questions: Does 3G have improved call quality and signal strength? Does 3.0 OS provide bluetooth voice dialing? (existing apps are inadequate)
