Crazy AT&T gets $150 refurb'd iPhone 3G in stock, will club a baby seal if you don't buy one
Engadget —
If Walmart's $197 iPhone 3G had you salivating, wait until you get ahold of this deal: AT&T has refurbished iPhone 3Gs in stock for a mere $150, effectively doubling your rice and ramen budget for the month should you take the plunge. AT&T claims the refurbs were returned within the 30 day trial period, are quality tested, and might be just a little scuffed up. If you're really feeling wild, there's also a 16GB refurb available for $250. Apple and AT&T are being a little shady on the warranty, stating "90 days or more," as opposed to the standard one year, but that's a risk you and your growling stomach are just going to have to take.

iPhone 3G refurbished models offered by AT&T for $150
Obsessable News Feed —
Used iPhones are finally available, but they have a reduced warranty period. Just a couple of months ago the iPhone 3G was an elusive prize, but now you can get a used 8 gigabyte model from AT&T for $150, 50 bucks below the regular price. It's a refurbished model, meaning someone bought it and returned it within the 30-day return period, and then AT&T fixed it up and put it back on the market. The downsides: the warranty period is 90 days instead of a year, and some refurbished phones might have scratches on them.
If you're on a tight budget (and who isn't these days?), it's still not a bad deal for a cell phone-meets-mini-computer-meets-iPod, and shipping is included ...

We thought the $99 iPhone was a myth after Walmart confirmed they will sell it for pretty much listed price. But with our total surprise, AT&T today posted on the refurb section the 8GB 3G iPhone can be had for as little as $99 and its bigger sibling $199. Of course the price requires 2-yr contract with AT&T.

SlashGear —
Not long ago AT&T started offering the iPhone 3G in a refurbished condition for $50 off the original price. That’s $149 for the 8GB version and $249 for the 16GB version. Not h much of a discount for a phone that was purchased, found defective and then returned and fixed.

The $99 iPhone lives! (Through AT&T, not Walmart)
VentureBeat —
Some of you are likely upset that we now know for certain that Walmart won’t be selling the iPhone for $99, and instead will give it a measly $2 discount when it goes on sale on Sunday. So I’m happy to report today that there is one outlet that has started selling iPhones for $99 — perhaps you’ve even heard of them: AT&T.
Yes, AT&T’s website is listing refurbished 8 gigabyte iPhone 3Gs for only $99 after you sign a two-year contract. This is an extra $50 savings over what AT&T was previously selling the refurbished models for, but you better hurry — the sale ends on New Year’s Eve.
The site also lists refurbished 16GB iPhone 3Gs (in ...

The 8GBers are being offered for $99, and the 16GB model for $199.

iPhone Price Drops To $99 -- Refurbished (AAPL)
Silicon Alley Insider —
The $99 iPhone is here -- but probably in limited quantities.
AT&T; (T) is selling Apple's (AAPL) phone refurbished for $100 off its retail price. That means 8GB iPhones are $99 and 16GB iPhones are $199 -- both with a 2-year contract and 90-day warranty.
We assume the carrier is trying to get rid of its inventory before the end of the year and that the $99 refurbished units won't be in heavy supply for long.
But we also don't think it'll be long before Apple and AT&T; drop the price for new iPhones to $99.
Apple is in the early stages of a platform land grab against Google (GOOG), Research In Motion (RIMM) and perhaps Palm (PALM), and market share is important. Dropping the ...
AT&T $99 Refurbished iPhone 3G Is Too Risky
iPhone Savior —
AT&T is now offering iPhone 3G 8GB iPhones for $99 with a new 2 year service contract or a 16GB model in White or Black can be had for $199. Is it really worth the risk? That's one of those questions that always ends with... that depends. AT&T refurbished devices are described by the company as, "Previously owned devices that have been unused or lightly used and returned during the 30-day trial period." The company makes every effort to reveal that, "Some refurbished iPhone 3G devices will have minor scratches." I hate to be Buzz Killington, but the possibility of enjoying some other dude's scratches out of the box is a deal breaker for ...
E-book boost: $99 iPhone refurbs from AT&T
TeleRead: Bring the E-Books Home —
Some low-income people are actually gravitating to the iPhone because they can use it for many purposes, not just as a phone.
Perhaps that’s a reason why AT&T is offering $99 refurbs in exchange for two-year wireless sign-ups. They are 8GB 3G models. AT&T’s $99 is quite a price drop from the earlier $150.
Smart move—this $99 approach (official AT&T page). And an even smarter move would be to couple phones and literacy and do cross-promo with Stanza, eReader and other companies offering e-readers for the iPhone, as well as deals with publishers.

But even without that, the $99 ...
Apple iPhone 3G 8GB refurbished for $99.00 from AT&T
Phones Review —
Ok, so maybe Wal-Mart isn’t selling the Apple iPhone 3G 8GB for $99.00, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get yourself one for $99.00.
All those too impatient that purchased an Apple iPhone at full price can start moaning about now, as the word is AT&T is now offering refurbished 8GB Apple iPhone 3G’s for $99.00 with a 2 year contract.
Or if you would prefer, how about a 16GB Apple iPhone 3G refurbished for $199.00 on contract, and available in black and white. If you fancy one of these one would suggest you move quickly as I for one can’t see them sitting round for too long.

AT&T now selling 8GB iPhone for $99
Tech Ticker —
Rumor about the $99 iPhone wasn’t fully wrong. Customers will now be able to snag an 8GB iPhone 3G for just $99. However, the catch here is that the phone will be refurbished and will be locked to AT&T. The refurbished 16GB iPhone (White & Black) will sell for $199.
If the refurbished tag doesn’t dampen your excitement, then you should get one by tomorrow because we don’t expect the devices to sit on the shelf for too long.

AT&T Selling $99 iPhone, But It’s Refurbished & Temporary
Pulse2 - Technology News And Reviews —
Earlier this month, Boy Genius Report started a rumor that Wal-Mart may start selling iPhones with a price of $99 with a two year agreement. The rumor came true to a certain extent. Wal-Mart will now be selling the iPhones and AT&T will be selling refurbished 8GB black iPhone for $99 with a two year agreement. Prior to this price, AT&T was selling the same device for $149.
I argued before that Wal-Mart selling a brand new iPhone for $99 will essentially cheapen the Apple brand and that it would not happen. Refurbished products are a whole different story. Refurbished products are “previously owned devices that have been unused or lightly used and returned during the 30-day trial period. Each ...

Wal-Mart is officially selling iPhones now, but there is no $99 unit in sight….at least not there.
AT&T, however, is offering refurbished iPhones for $99 for an 8GB model, and $199 for a 16GB model. This price drop is in effect until 12/31/08 - so you have some time left if you’d like to get one at the discounted price.

iPhone, yours for only $99

Chicago (IL) The $99 iPhone is an Internet rumor that simply wont go away. At this time, you still have to pay $199 for your iPhone 3G and there is the hope that as competitive pressure on Apple increases, there may be a $99 iPhone in the future. But if you really want an iPhone today and want to spend just $99, there is now an opportunity. And yes, there is a catch. The most recent $99 iPhone rumor suggested that a special-run 4 GB iPhone 3G that was meant to be exclusively offered through Wal-Mart retail stores, a move that most analysts believe would grow Apple's share of the smartphone market significantly.

$99 iPhone Arrives, But Not at Walmart
Wired: Gadget Lab —
AT&T is knocking out refurbished 8GB iPhones at $99 apiece, and 16GB models for $199. This news comes in at the exact same time that Walmart's iPhone goes official, at $197 for the 8GB handset.
That AT&T is selling refurbs is nothing special -- both AT&T and Apple are veterans of the refurb game and some great bargains can be had. That Walmart's iPhone price is not $99, as some gullible people believed, is equally non-shocking.
But the fact that Walmart, a company known for squeezing every penny out of its suppliers, managed to knock Apple down just $2 is astonishing. We wouldn't be surprised if this discount is actually coming out of Walmart's pocket.
Of course, ...
