AT&T selling refurbished iPhones on the cheap

It was bound to happen. AT&T (NYSE: T) has started to offer refurbished iPhones at a discounted price. The AT&T website shows these refurbished iPhone 8GB handsets with a $249 price tag. That’s $150 off the current retail price for an 8GB iPhone! Talk about a deal.
If the unsubsidized price-point of the iPhone has kept you from biting the bullet and putting an iPhone in your pocket, these refurbished iPhones might just be down your alley. With Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)’s outstanding customer service, there’s no worry about getting a faulty product. Should you find anything wrong with your iPhone, simply take it to your nearest Apple Store and have them replace the unit on the spot. You’ll most likely be issued a new iPhone and be on your merry iPhone-ing way in 20 minutes.
Early adopters. It sucks to be us. How does it feel to have paid $350 (before tax) for your iPhone? It hurts, but it was worth it, eh?
…I don’t even like this thing but even I can’t pass up the chance to own a media device that can do what this can do. I also think they come out of the box inactive, which means that you can still use the functions without doing anything through itunes to activate it (even though it will definitely be unlocked within minutes after I get it) -
