"Or if you want, get it unsubsidized for $299, then what, no contract and no internet?"
Ornery and illiterate, it seems.
I'll reiterate and maybe throw in some more small words to help your understanding on the matter (I'll try and not make any more assumptions upon how much basic cognitive faculty you may or may not possess):
Refurb 8GB iPhone 3G with 2 year iPhone data plan: $99 + (24 months * $30) = $99 + $720 = $819 Refurb 16GB iPhone 3G with 2 year iPhone data plan: $199 + (24 months * $30) = $199 + $720 = $919 An unlocked/no contract new Nokia E71with data plan: $370 + (24 months * $15) = $370 + 360 = $730
It rarely ceases to amaze me how there are so many people who were born without a sense of humor but, much to everyone else's dismay, they adamantly demand that they are, in fact, funny. This is one of them.
As I think about it, you are funny. Like the kind of funny that people with brains laugh at.
Two things a person needs to have a sense of humor: intelligence and perspective. Having neither, I do suggest that you stick to your day job.
Not even a nice try.
Based on your disasterous photo, you seem to be a very angry person. Please...don't go away mad; just go away.
Very few people care about other people's opinions; fewer still care about the ignorance that fuels such obvious stupidity.
My opologies for the 2 (now 3) in a row postings. eggothewaffle's girlfriend is over here tonight and, well, she just wanted in on the action (to explain the sweetie thing: that was Bubba, he's wondering why you never called?)

Fingerprints included?
...$800+ for a refurbed phone? Wow. Do these at least come with copy and paste?
I am so glad I got an iPod Touch instead. Typing comments on it is a pain though.
Warning to all who follow:
Don't feed the troll.
Can you buy it without a 2-year?!?
I would buy the iphone if it had COPY/CUT AND PASTE
By the way Engadget, could you start posting the real price of these subsidized 2-year contract AT&T devices as well as the advertised prices?
Or would you like me to do it? Assuming all else is constant:
Refurb 8GB iPhone 3G with 2 year iPhone data plan: $99 + (24 months * $30) = $99 + $720 = $819
Refurb 16GB iPhone 3G with 2 year iPhone data plan: $199 + (24 months * $30) = $199 + $720 = $919
An unlocked/no contract new Nokia E71: $370 + (24 months * $15) = $370 + 360 = $730
It's not free if you pay for it...
Also its ornery not awnery.

Better, darling?
Nokia E71 price with the 99$ and 199$ iPhone logic is 10$. Cheap enough?
Why is there so much bitching about Apple not supporting cut and paste when they're not the only guilty ones out there?
Ever used Gmail on BlackBerry? Good luck doing any cutting and pasting there.
I'm not an Apple fan by any means, but I have a number of apps on my BlackBerry that don't support the functionality either.

Ah ego, such lovely math.
Here's my aquasion:
Iphone 4gb refurb $250 + (10 months x $20 service) $200 + $200 (iphone 3G) + ( $30 x 14 months) $420 -$450 (unlocked 4gb sold it) total price $680...
Why'd you pay so much for an E71?!
Oh! Oh! My turn! My turn!
IPhone $99 + $200 ETF unlock, no contract, (use ego sweeties carrier 24x$15) $360 = $659
Why DID you pay so much for your E71 sweetie?
