Actually, I bought my 2nd K2i from Amazon. So it does have a full warranty. It is reconditioned, which means new battery and face (only the internals are original -- keyboard, screen, etc. new). I think I paid $119. My first K2i cost $259.

But bhartman is right -- no updates. There is a way to install K3 firmware on a K2, but I haven't messed with it yet. Honestly, I'm quite happy with my K2i, and I am not at all tempted my the more fragile K3. But, to each his own.
