My contract is up in june, but it's becoming really obvious that I can't get by at work without a smartphone, so I'm probably going to cave and get something for myself this christmas What are HAN's thoughts on used/refurb phones?

I had my mind set on HTC Hero, but after having some trouble typing on the thing, I may get something a little bigger.

Why refurb? Phones are realatively cheap if you are extending a contract or getting a new one

I can't get a deal with Sprint until June, and with the way work has been going, I really can't wait that long. Only way I can get their promotional pricing is with a new number, which definitely won't work for me (i.e. I have a gazillion buisness cards, websites, etc with my current number).

I just grabbed a used Hero off ebay this morning, and I figure if it lasts until June, I'll be happy for the price paid.

I posted the issues in the first post but the deal breaker was 5 reboots in the first week, not a good way to start a relationship with your phone at all because it isn't going to get any better.

Another minor gripe about it is that it is horribly locked down and can only be accessed through Zune...blech :barf:
