Since the introduction of the iPhone 3G, neither Apple nor AT&T has sold the device online. That is, until now. AT&T is now allowing customers the option of ordering an iPhone 3G on their store website for home delivery. This could potentially expand the market for the iPhone, as some avid online users don’t like going into stores to get things like this.


You can now pick up an iPhone 3G in either 8GB or 16GB black/white configurations. The 8GB iPhone is being sold for $199US, and the 16GB for $299. If new isn’t your thing, AT&T is also offering refurbished iPhones starting at $149 for an 8GB model. You can visit the AT&T online store for more information and ordering details.

Now Apple needs to pick up the challenge and allow online ordering and activation. That would really grab some more store-shy customers.
