$99 iPhones Available--While Supplies Last
Gearlog —
... is that the thing is refurbished--that's industry code for used. Says AT&T;:
Each refurbished phone is independently quality tested and loaded with the latest software to meet current factory standards. Some refurbished iPhone 3G devices will have minor scratches.
Too good to be true? Well, yeah, sort of. As great a deal as $99 seems, you've still got to opt into that two-year AT&T; contract, which will wind up costing you a lot more than $197.
The deal ends December 31st.
