If Walmart’s 7 iPhone 3G had you salivating, wait until you get ahold of this deal: AT&T has refurbished iPhone 3Gs in stock for a mere 0, effectively doubling your rice and ramen budget for the month should you take the plunge. AT&T claims the refurbs were returned within the 30 day trial period, are quality tested, and might be just a little scuffed up. If you’re really feeling wild, there’s also a 16GB refurb available for 0. Apple and AT&T are being a little shady on the warranty, stating “90 days or more,” as opposed to the standard one year, but that’s a risk you and your growling stomach are just plan to have to take.

For the vast majority of mobile makers, the past few months have been ones they’d love to forget. For HTC, it could actually throw a party in remembrance. The outfit responsible for the Touch Pro / Diamond, Touch HD and T-Mobile G1 (among others) has reportedly witnessed its revenues skyrocket to a record high of around 8.6 million in November, which is up nearly 11% sequentially and 22.1% on the year. Oh HTC, just think how much higher that figure would be if you’d loose the Touch HD on US soil…

Well, that didn’t take long. Merely hours after LG’s Prada II was treated to a dedicated microsite, along comes the hands-on photographs we’ve been expecting. CNET’s UK branch was able to wrangle one in, and as predicted, the mobile didn’t hesitate to pose for a few nice snapshots. Eagle-eyed readers will notice that it certainly put on a little heft since the first go ’round, but the slight downturn in attractivity is more than compensated by the inclusion of a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Have a peek at the read link for more hands-on goodness, including a look at the matching Bluetooth wristwatch.

[Thanks, T.I.]
