Starting today, Radio Shack is once again offering a $50 discount on new 16GB iPhone 4 and 8GB iPhone 3GS units, bringing their prices down to $149 and $49, respectively. According to a BGR report, the deal is good for “new and eligible upgrade customers while supplies last.” The retailer is also offering boosted trade-in credit for iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS units. “Qualifying iPhone 3G and 3G S handsets will have a guaranteed trade-in credit of $75 and $125, respectively,” reads an email received by BGR. To qualify, the iPhone must “power on, cannot be PIN locked and must be in fully functional, working condition without any broken components.” Again, this offer does not have a set end date; readers are encouraged to call their local store to check on availability.

Its a bait and switch, they don’t actually have any 16g Iphones…they just try to sell you the 32g model. They have been out of phones forever, I am logging a complaint with the Attorney General in Missouri - this happened last time they had this “special” also.

I wanted to get the iPhone 4 32 GB when it was on sale last time but my local RadioShack was all out. So my dad called all of the RadioShacks in our area (like 7) and they were all out too. Ended up just getting it at the AT&T store.

Worked just fine for me in RI. Several area stores were out, but several others had both the 16 and 32gb. Got my 16gb for $24 once I turned in my 3GS. Sadly promotion ended 12.31.
