WHERE TO FIND A CHEAP IPHONE ONLINE, FIND THE CHEAPEST APPLE IPHONE FOR CHRISTMAS 2007 BEFORE SHORTAGE OF THIS NEW MOBILE PHONE

Finding a cheaper iPhone for Christmas doesn't mean you need to risk buying stolen property or a cellphone with malfunction.

BUYING iPHONE MOBILE PHONE ON APPLE STORE
Apple has begun selling certified refurbished iPhones through the online Apple Store at $US399 for the 4G version and $499 for the 8G model and even though this is not the only way to find a cheaper iPhone online, this can be a good place to choose from.

Refurbished iPhone cell phones are good mobile phones tested and certified by Apple, and when you buy one Phone from Apple Store, even refurbished, you also get a 12-month warranty.

But why is Apple selling these cheaper iPhone and where do they come from? These cheap iPhone cell phones are called certified refurbished iphone but they are typically items that have been returned by customers under Apple's 14-day satisfaction guarantee, and it means that they often not even are refurbished, they just are phones which have been tested and used for less than 14 days by Apple customers who then decided that didn't want one anymore, maybe because of the lack of some important functions or maybe just because these customers where expecting too much from this Apple mobile phone which is far to be perfect and which is mainly a cool gadget.

Also some of these refurbished iphones have been returned by customers who failed to make a quick profit by reselling purchases made during the first days when Apple iPhone supplies were tight, and when everybody was expecting a shortage of this great iPhone mobile phone.

But these customers had to send it back to Apple before the end of the 14-day satisfaction guarantee to get their money back if they didn't want an iPhone for themselves when they couldn't manage to sell it fast, Apple being too fast to restock its own shops but also AT&T's stores.

When buying refurbished iPhone on Apple website it's also possible to get a completely new mobile phone as many people have sent it back to Apple without even opening the box, Apple's terms of sale waiving the ten percent restocking fee when products where returned unopened, what many resellers did to only have to pay the shipping charges when sending back their brand new iPhone.

Others refurbished iPhone cell phones are iPhone who have been replaced by Apple because they had problems, and that Apple then fixed to sell them again.

BUYING iPHONE MOBILE PHONE ON EBAY OR ANY OTHER AUCTION OR CLASSIFIED WEBSITE
It's also possible to make a good deal when buying iPhone mobile phone on eBay as it's now the best time to get a cheap iPhone since this iPhone came out because many eBay sellers have struggled to sell their products on the auction website because of many reasons and a lot of bad luck for them.

One of these reasons is that Apple iPhone is still available at a lot of Apple retail stores and that it seems that there will be no shortage for Christmas 2007 and the beginning of the next 2008 year.

Another reason is that so many sellers offer iPhone cell phone on ebay and on others auction or classified websites as Craiglist, that this has driven down the price and allowed for more cheap iPhone deals.

But if you want to buy a cheap iPhone (and also Apple iPod Touch player) be sure to get your Christmas iPhone early during December as Apple Stores might get low on iPhones for the holidays, and the first wave of eBay iPhone sellers will soon be gone, not being able to sell any other iPhone because of the Apple limitation.

So even if you don't believe in a real shortage on iPhone cells in Europe or America for the end of the year, demand for Christmas and new year will surge and drive up prices, so better be quick and buy your refurbished or brand new cheap iPhone online as fast as possible, and for sure before the next holidays.

But if you cannot find a cheap iPhone for Christmas 2007 we can advice you some iPhone lookalike cell phones.

The most notable and wanted iPhone clones will certainly be the HTC Touch cell phone, the Meizu miniOne cell phone, the Teclast T59 cell phone, the LG Prada KE850 cell phone, and the ASUS Aura cell phone.

You can find online many reviews about all these iPhone lookalike cell phones, and also websites to compare them all with the Apple iPhone. Of course HTC, Meizu, Teclast, Asus, and LG mobile phones are not as famous as the Apple iPhone, especially because there was no big buzz around their release as Apple did it for its cellphone, but some of these iPhone copies and iPhone clones are quite good, with some functions even better as iPhone ones.

Here is a short comparative review of these iPhone look alike phones.

The HTC Touch iPhone lookalike mobile features an advanced touch screen that lets you operate the smart phone with your fingertips exactly as the iPhone, and it also features full Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and a 2-megapixel camera. The HTC Touch cell phone seems to be the best iPhone challenger and could be the choice of many customers if it was cheaper, what could happend for Christmas 2007.

The Meizu miniOne iPhone lookalike mobile, formerly known as the M8 features a better camera than the Apple iPhone (3-megapixel instead of 2-megapixel) which has video ability, and has TV-out.

The Teclast T59 iPhone lookalike mobile is another aesthetically-appealing iPhone clone which also features a better camera than the Apple phone but also a built-in GPS.

The ASUS Aura iPhone lookalike mobile has the largest touchscreen at 3,9 inches as well as a rotating display like the iPhone’s but also only a 2 megapixel camera as the Apple's mobile.

The LG Prada KE850 iPhone lookalike mobile also has a disappointing 2-megapixel camera as Apple iPhone but with video ability, and it doesn't seem to be any interesting.
