the Iphone 3g..

[sanders4617]

I want a iphone.. but can't really upgrade yet. A friend of mine has a brand new iphone 3g 8gb.. .he said he will sell for $300.. is that too much?

That's a little high. You can get a 16gb 3g for that price. but it is new so maybe 280?

 

[sanders4617]

Yeah. I should probably wait till April when I can upgrade and get the 3Gs then.. although.. There is a new one coming out. So I wish I could wait till then.. I just want one.

Are you going to get a data plan if you do get it? If you're not just get a 2G iphone to tide you over.

Thats Apple for you, they'll have a refresh of the iPhone by this coming June. However, if you still do want an iPhone, you could try eBay and get the first generations for cheap.

$300 is a bit on the high side. Tell him/her $275 - which is the going rate on Ebay. (right now there's several around $270).

 

[sanders4617]

Its brand new though.. the good thing about it is not having to deal with contracts and I work with him.. so I don't have to deal with ebay and shipping.. and I can also pay $200 up front.. and the rest later

What warranty will you have for $300?

 

[sanders4617]

I don't really know about that... Do they come with one?

Yes. If you put in the serial number of the phone (which can be seen by going to setting>general>about) then this will tell you how long the warranty has left.
