Refurbished iPhone 3G reliable?

[AIETOO]

Just want to get a cheap iPhone 3G, but most the price I found are nearly the same, and I have found there is a deal on the refurbished iPhone 3G - 8 GB for $150 (http://www.dealstudio.com/deallink.php?deal_id=158719&ru=282), with 2 yr contract-new service, so do you think I should get it?

There is another thread within this forum about this subject. I believe refurb'd iPhones are reliable. AT&T are/currently selling refurbished for $149.99 - $250

Thanks for your quick reply ess_bee, but don't you think 2 yr contract is long...

Same contract as anyone would have to sign. This is the ATT standard.
As far as the phone, refurbished phones are as good as new and DO come with a warranty.

I have two refurbed iPhones and they both feel better built than my brand new one. I exchanged both of the new ones for the current returbs.
