The refurbished units have the same warranty as new units so you don't have to worry about getting someone junk. As an owner of a refurbished 3G I can attest to the quality of the devices.

This week on TechCrunch: very bad things, irritable Germans, retro fall-outs and shopping til you drop
Paul Carr / TechCrunch

If you're anything like me - and let's for all of our sakes pray that you're not - then your first thought as you stagger back to your desk today, bloated and giddy after Thanksgiving , will likely be "what can I do to kill time until the end of the week?"

So it's been nearly 10 days since Foursquare launched its social mobile game 'ground assault' into 50 more cities, including a bunch of European ones. But what I'd like to know is who's actually using it here in Europe? Because, you see, Europeans are already quite well served by location based mobile applications like Qype , the various ...

Who do you listen to? Who are you trying to please? Which customers, relatives, bloggers, pundits, bosses, peers and passers by have influence over your choices?
