AT&T Limiting iPhones to ONE Per Customer, No Cash or Checks

Jason Chen — Wed, 14 May 2008 16:00:55 EDT

AT&T just sent out an internal memo to its employees today limiting all iPhone purchases to one per customer—down from a previous three—and making everyone pay with credit cards or debit cards. Do they want to make their stock last until the 3G iPhone is out? Probably, since people who buy more than one are usually not regular guys who just wants to use the phone for themselves.

Haroon Malik — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 12:00:00 EST

The chaps at BGR have received a leaked AT&T memo, which states the company will be offering refurbished iPhones for the lowly price of $199 (4GB) and $249 (8GB.) The refurbished iPhones will be made available with new contracts only, and are bound to sell as quickly as heavily discounted iPhones. Jump for the AT&T memo.

March 1, 2008
Refurbished iPhones at COR Stores. For a limited time, select COR stores in the New England Market will offer refurbished iPhones (both 4GB and 8GB) for a special price. These devices are good as new and give customers the opportunity to experience the revolutionary iPhone with big savings. New activations only, upgrades with Manager approval. Refurbished iPhones will only be available to purchase in select COR stores across the Northeast Region and will be available while supplies last. Please reach out to customers that have recently purchased an iPhone to see if they are interested in activating an additional iPhone at a discounted equipment cost. Please note no in-store sales materials should be created. This is to be sold as a closing tool only. Product is available while supplies last from initial shipment. Failure to follow this communication will result in a Code of Business Conduct violation

If you manage to get your hands on one, drop us a shout below to let us know the condition your new-to-you handset is in. Also; 4GB, anyone? [BGR]

USB Memo Lamp: Ambient Lighting For the Absent Minded

Sean Fallon — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 18:00:14 EST

If you are the kind of person that has Post-it notes strewn all over your desk, this USB-powered lamp may help you cut through the clutter while simultaneously providing some colorful ambient lighting. Using the included pen, users can write notes on the base and simply wipe the message off when needed. Sure, it is stupid, but it is unique—and it will only set you back around $20.

Internal AT&T Memo Details Contract Free Rate Plans, Handset Must be Paid for in Full

Haroon Malik — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 07:35:00 EST

One of our sources at AT&T has leaked to us an internal document; the memo details the process for obtaining a contract bundle without the obligatory 1 or 2-year commitment term. The basis for the non-commitment bundles is the customer must pay for the handset in full, losing the subsidized rate that is offered with fixed contract terms. The memo pins the start date of the non-commitment bundles as November 2007, but we have heard no word on any such contractual freedom previously. UPDATE: This entire document, another source tells us, is meant to inform ill informed employees of an existing thing. AT&T has done this for years.

XtremeMac MicroMemo to Ship This Summer

Charlie White — Tue, 06 Jun 2006 11:53:27 EDT

When we first told you about the XtremeMac MicroMemo, it was due to ship in this Spring for $79.95, but now the company tells us it be shipping "this summer" for $59.95. It's designed for the iPod with video and lets you record 16-bit audio and 22kHz or 44kHz using its flexible mic.

There's a built-in speaker for instant playback and it's powered by the iPod itself. If you don't like that attached microphone, the MicroMemo will also let you plug in your own external mic, as long as it has a 3.5mm plug. MicroMemo is now available for pre-order on the XtremeMac website. – Charlie White
