Retail outlet Best Buy today announced plans to sell refurbished iPhone 3G devices for a reduced price of $149 for 8GB and $249 for 16GB. These prices require 2 year activation and carry the regular Apple refurbished warranty policy of 1 year. Additional warranty coverage is available via Applecare or Squaretrade. Although Best Buy says’s it isn’t so, this move does appear at least partly to be in response to the recent availability of iPhones at rival Walmart.
