    even with a 90 day warranty, you can sign up for the insurance and it will cover anything the warranty would have after the warranty is up. i was just on the phone with a rep asking about this and he told me. however, i dont see this deal anywhere on the at&t website. And I asked him he said it doesn't sound like any deal of theirs. could be a talking point they ask them to avoid, but...i don't see it.

    But with this phone, a Data Plan is REQUIRED! The cheapest plan offered is about $30/month extra. So your monthly plans will cost, at a minimum, $70 per month.. plus another $10-15 for all those misc. fees you're charged. Oh, one more thing.. for some reason, AT&T seems to always add on their "roadside" assistance program onto your account, without asking you. I never signed up for that, and realized they added it on my account one month. They did the same thing to someone else's account.

    Looks like you have to sign up for the Unlimited plan ($99.99/mo) and Blackberry Personal with Tethering ($60/mo) to get this "free" phone. I guess it's a great deal if you're going to do unlimited anyway.

    @TechFanErik: Most of it is being soft-peddled by Apple-friendly sites. There was a lovely piece in Seeking Alpha about how Apple's accounting practices with deferred revenue from iPhone sales are screwing up the company. Also, iPhone sales dropped 24% in Q4.


    And even though most of the disclosure is somewhat available, AAPL took a 5% hit today.

    @Kaiser-Machead: I'd strongly urge you to get the plain white Macbook if you're interested in a budget Mac laptop to do some editing. The 2.5" HD swap is a breeze, it has the FW400 port, and has a good C2D processor in it. It's the same price, and you get more.

    finding a MacBook Air below $1000 is an absolute steal


    You know your product is quality when the price drops more than half in a matter of a few months. And after I wait a few more months and it is below $500, what will we call the "steal", then? Maybe the "steal returned"?

    @Kaiser-Machead: First, I am deeply honoured that you would even respond to one of my comments Machead-san.


    I understand that it is a more powerful machine, I take issue with the fact that relatively crippled and does not provide a great deal of extra utility for ~2-3x the price. Clearly a 7" Netbook is not competitive but a 9-10" would let you office and surf to your hearts content.

    @Cyborg28: Point taken :) It's just that.....after dealing with a couple of netbooks recently, I couldn't even so much as watch a video properly on those netbooks without some serious lag. Granted, if you bought a Macbook Air to just watch videos, you win the financia-fail award.

    Well this sure is a sweet deal and even if Apple dropped the price further on new iphones there's still that mandatory $30.00 data plan fee which I'm not real keen on. It seems like that's AT&T's version of the 'Apple Tax' since you can get other 3G phones from them without that fee or other options like MediaNET which is only like $15.00 a month.


    Sigh.. I guess I'm just getting cheap in my old age. Get off my lawn!

    Um, if new iPhones have a wanky OS, how much worse is a refurbed unit going to be? Crap at a cheaper price is still crap kids. Get a Blackberry, and know what a real smartphone is.

    @DeadhousepIants: what connection does fully guaranteed, refurbed hardware have to do with software?


    refurbed doesn't mean they're selling you a broken phone. its either a phone that's been repaired, or one that's just been used, but deemed fully operational.

    @Tyler Sasaki: Copy&Paste is overrated. I've tried out my bro's Curve and although it's nice and responsive, copy and paste doesn't seem all that of a big deal. I'm guessing, I would probably use copy & paste less than 5% of the time on a smartphone.
