fry Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 what's the latest on the IPhone?heard that they may be releasing the 32GB 3G version by June... how true is this? There are lots of rumors surrounding the next generation iPhone - which one is true, no one knows. What is more concrete though is when it may be announced or released. June is when the version 2.0 software will be released, and it's likely we'll see the next generation iPhone to be out right around the same time as well. Quote Link to comment

orionpax Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I suggest that you hold your purchase until the 3G version is launched in Asia officially guess it would be pretty advisable to buy an IPhone by then?I've been having to restrain myself from buying one now... as I am afraid that prices may drop by the time the new IPhone is launched Quote Link to comment

cool_as_ice Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Just stumble upon this news... Asia to Get iPhone Later This YearSingTel and three of its telco associates have confirmed they will bring Apple's iPhone to Singapore, India, the Philippines, and Australia by Victoria Ho (BusinessWeek) SingTel in Singapore, India's Bharti Airtel, the Philippines' Globe Telecom and Australia's Optus said they will bring the popular device to their respective countries "later this year", although SingTel could not specify whether this would be in the third or fourth quarter of the year. The Singapore-based telco could not comment on whether the device would be 3G-enabled and if each region would get it at the same time. ZDNet Asia previously reported sources speculating that SingTel would eventually win distribution rights for the iPhone. However, CNet Asia carried a report today quoting rival Singapore telco, StarHub, saying all three operators in the country are expected to offer the device eventually, which means SingTel may not have won exclusivity. A recent shortage of iPhones in the United States has also prompted some to speculate that the 3G version of the device would be making its debut soon--possibly the model which would arrive in Asia, too, although Apple and SingTel have declined to comment on this area.

orionpax Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 hehe..thats why i advised you to wait..... my friends at Globe leaked to me that the iPhone will be offered to their subscribers under G-Plans waaah! just when I was able to buy one...I could've gotten them for free! Quote Link to comment

orionpax Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 As of today, no word yet from Globe if they will offer the 3G version since that will also hinge on Singtel's move (Globe's shareholder) And of course...we are still waiting Apple's official statement on this IMO , if Apple releases the 3G iPhone before September 08, its safe to say Globe will offer it to subscribers Will globe give us the 3g version?

I would've preferred smart... unlike Globe they offer the phones to yousa Globe utang ng loob mo pa if they choose to give you the IPhone hehe..thats why i advised you to wait..... my friends at Globe leaked to me that the iPhone will be offered to their subscribers under G-Plans hahaha ok lang naman... not planning on using it sa globe ko namanwould've just wanted the kick of pressuring my A.E. to give me a phone or I cut off the whole corporate account hahaha Quote Link to comment

orionpax Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) I hope not...if Globe does carry the 2nd Gen iPod...i guess there will be a drastic price cut in the 1st Gen iphone..much more than the cut Apple made in the US.... Unless iPhone OS 2.0 is released to prevent such "depreciation"I hope we will not be the dumping ground for expensive obsolete 1st gen iphone. Edited May 16, 2008 by orionpax Quote Link to comment

Unless iPhone OS 2.0 is released to prevent such "depreciation" I think it's almost certain that the Philippines will have the 3G version. It's not Apple's tradition to keep on with the predecessor long after the succeeding version has already been released. In fact, Apple is no longer replenishing stocks of the current gen. iPhone - a very good indicator that the next generation iPhone is just around the corner. Quote Link to comment
orionpax Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I guess so...but i expect Globe to bundle the 3G iPhone in high end plans (Platinum?) ....

UNDergroundX Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Im using G-Flex 2500 and Im on Edge 3G. With the new 5 pesos for 15 mins using TIME at 1111, and using Fring, im online 24.7 on Skype, msn and ym. Not bad, I wouldnt want to wait if they had it on globe, since after 2 years, they would give me a free phone so it should be a new iPhone again. Btw, ang katapat ko here would be my other baby, the HTC tytan 2. Its better but not that easy to use unlike the iPhone. Quote Link to comment

The only way for your jailbreak and unlock to stop functioning is if you restore and/or upgrade its firmware. So go ahead. Sync up, and enjoy your music in your iPhone!
