curious gentleman Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Globe allocating the new iphone for platinum members or for a plan 5K maybe too much, considering the SRP of the unit in the US is just $199 (8G). If this do happen I'd rather buy me a new iphone in the grey market (which analyst say is the reason for the low cost of the new iphone) than get it from globe. Quote Link to comment
id6230 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 the only regret that I have is that the battery lasts longer!I have to charge my IPhone everyday! judging from the post above... I would have to think that it does have wi-fi Globe... 3rd quarter of the month!malamang ibibigay sa mga platinum account Theoritically, 3G is faster than wifi hence wifi is no longer necessary. And 3G network eats more power thus your battery gets drained faster. Quote Link to comment

Unlike previous iPhone version that can be configured via iTunes..but i might be wrong since magagaling din ang mga hackers ng iPhone.. or either maglabas din ang china ng dual-sim model ng iPhone look-a-like Quote Link to comment

orionpax Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 (edited) I think that the $ 199 SRP is bundled with an AT&T subscription...a $ 30 USD a month 3G data plan locked for 24 months.. Plus...it can ONLY be activated in Globe Telecom stores..(unless hacked out of warranty) And im so sure that the 3G iPhone wont be priced near $ 199 (even in the grey market) here in Pinas Globe allocating the new iphone for platinum members or for a plan 5K maybe too much, considering the SRP of the unit in the US is just $199 (8G).

orionpax Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 The key here is for Globe to leverage on the potential services that they will offer with the 3G iPhone bundle that will NOT be available to the 1st Gen iPhone.. They have done step 1 (Increase the barrier to new entrants - Smart & Sun)...so exclusivity is locked with Apple (for now).. There must be a program to maintain "stickyness" to the bundle to eschew the potential loss of market share to the grey marketTrue, but those 16GB units are 2.5G iphones priced at $499 with the AT&T plan. The people who sell them will now have access to a lower priced iphone. Globe will have to do something to compete against the gray market in the sense that their profits will derive from phone usage not phone sales. They subsidize practically every lousy sim-locked Nokia and SE phone they sell, now they will be able to get away from not subsidizing at all because Smart and Sun will have no official source for the units and Globe's HSDPA service is faster than Smart BROken. Also, Apple will not brook any deviation from their US pricing beyond compensating for shipping and foreign exchange diffrentials. Apple has stopped getting a share of phone revenues in the 3G model and given the expected response and demand, AT&T is not about to subsidize the phone as well. So it looks like the announced pricing int he US is in line with possible local pricing. But if you guys want to look forward to higher prices, well, we Mac users are used to that. Or you can wait for a phone from Dell. It will be cheap and have an OS as ugly as Windows. Quote Link to comment
