Newbie Question...

[adp]

Well I guess if you're lucky enough to still find one in stock you're good. I'm sure they're trying to sell older phones (if they haven't sold them all by now) first though.

Sounds like an awful lot of trouble to save a buck.

3gs 32gb.....

$299 + ETF $175 + first months "rent" = AT LEAST $550, most likely more. And thats for all that trouble and wasted time.

Or, nab one of ebay for around $600. Hmmm.......

Yea I did the math (you left out the $30 activation fee) and it's 32Gb = $598, 16Gb = $493. He can get a barely used one on Craigs for $500 today, and with patience $400. I don't do eBay because of the last-3-minute compulsive freaks bidding over $800, and the fact that you can't really see the phone until after you've paid for it.

To each their own I guess... I rather go through the "hassle" of signing a few papers, saving 50 dollars, and knowing A/ NO ONE has touched this phone before, and B/ you know it will come with all the equipment, manuals, etc etc.
(Since the 3gs is a little old now, finding one slightly used would probably be the "cheaper" route, but when i bought my 3gs they were selling for like 900 dollars everywhere without a contract... so for me it was the obvious right choice.

Or you can just throw 600 dollars on a phone from ebay "barely" used, or "just opened the box to unlock" It doesn't matter...

I just can't believe cpjr didn't know the s/n was on the box of the iPhone... I had to double check myself lol (not talking **** bro, I just know you are the **** on these forums, and i've learned quite a bit from you... but to see you not on your A game, is just funny to me, maybe some don't come with it on the box? I dunno'
