New 3g iphones $99 and $199 NOT refurb @Best Buy

[Raider1284]

Unlike the ATT refurb deal posted a few days ago these appear to be the full retail phones and would therefore have the full warranty, unlike the refurb phones. Requires two year activation like all of the other deals.

Seems like a pretty killer deal:

yeah, but man that contract is killer...

If it was no contract I might get one just because but ... nope...

You will never see a cheap iphone 3g without the contract. ATT is prepurchasing these phones and reselling them. A contract free iphone would be hundreds of dollarsm $400+

You could buy the phone and then cancel the contract for an additional $175, according to their TOS that is the only cancellation charge. Some people have mentioned that ATT is charging them $350+ for cancellation though.

You have to be a "silver member." Does that cost money?

Doesnt cost anything to sign up but you have to spend a certain about to get the silver membership:

"Qualify for Premier Silver status when you spend $2,500 on eligible purchases at Best Buy or BestBuy.com in a calendar year. "
