Hi friends

I am thinking about buying an iphone, but i am not sure which to get; the iphone 3g refurb, or the normal iphone 3g. Can anyone help me?

The refurbished iPhone is just an iphone that some other person had shipped in because of difficulties…..so apple ships that person a new one, keeps the broken one, fixes the broken one and then resells it for a fraction of the price. I think they put a new body on it if its damaged but not sure.
