kLique Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Got this from a friend from Singtel There will be "prepaid" 3G iPhones, that are being planned to be sold in Europe (thru Vodafone) Dont be surpised with the price Expect to burn 400 Euros for the 8GB model(around 35 K Pesos) and 570 Euros for the 16 GB model (40 K Pesos) So guys & gals...EVEN if it does show up in the gray market...these 3G iphones are FAR from the $199 (8GB) & $ 299(16 GB) USD price tags bundled with a plan now that's steep! I expect the price of IPhones to be sold in the gray market at around that price anywayor perhaps even more... Quote Link to comment

orionpax Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) Had a meeting this morning with our Globe AE...jeez..as of now.. Globe 3G iPhone plans are still CLASSIFIED..but heres the scoop...It will be available free (or plus a certain amount) to Platinum subscribers It is being studied if they will offer 1st Gen iPhones to other G-Plans PS: The Globe-Apple tandem will be doing their darndest best to quash "work-arounds" to jail break Globe issued units (bad news for hackers)...i dunno if the Turbo SIMs will still be effective You know what you're right. I apologize to forum members who might have been 'taken' by my enthusiasm for the $199 price tag announced by Apple at the WWDC. I should have known better. Later news revealed that Apple got AT&T to pay them a subsidy of $325 per phone. Its a cheap marketing trick and I got suckered into buying into it. I should have known better. So the reference price for the iPhone is again back to $700 or thereabouts. I suspect Globe may be 'eating' a similar subsidy for the high-end platinum post paid plan. P5k monthly, unlimited HSDPA and they give you the 'privilege' of buying a 3G iPhone for say, P10k. Time to drive my accountants crazy. Jailbroken? That is a term used on an iPhone that has been modified to allow installation of applications outside of the official Apple-supplied apps. Until July 11, 2008 all the none Apple apps can only be installed on a jailbroken phone. Perhaps you meant a 'hacked' iPhone? This is one where the SIM-lock to the AT&T network is removed so that you can use a SIM from another mobile phone provider. I would wait until after July 11 before you do that though. No one knows what Apple has done tot he software on version 2 of the iPhone and whether it will irreparably brick unauthorized iphones. Edited June 23, 2008 by orionpax Quote Link to comment

SanMigLight Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 yeah everything about the 2nd gen iPhone is still classified until July 11. We will be (Tech) supporting iphone users in Australia thru Optus. it will be the same here i think for globe. Which is also under Singtel like Optus of Australia. :headsetsmiley: Quote Link to comment
carnalito Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I believe that iPhone will be launched in the Philippines under Globe Telecom, according to MacLife August 2008, German edition. http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/7945/iphonexj1.jpg Quote Link to comment

Bazooka Joe Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 (edited) i heard that globe will offer the iphone3G 8gig at plan2500. globe people are preparing it para sa sept. center people are having their 1week training for iphone support. apple doesn't want iphone user going to their stores for support. everything will be done at globe business centers. i heard globe is really preparing big for the iphone! sobrang spoiled nga daw ang apple! may sariling counter pa for iphone users.

Bazooka Joe Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 @artvader hindi naman mahirap mag text sa iphone. the only problem is kung mahaba ang kuko mo hindi ka makaka text, you can't even use a stylus. kailangan finger tip talaga. cons of the iphone: 1. battery - you can't change it (pareho sa mga ipod natin)2. touch screen - hindi pwede long fingernails at stylus (sorry nalang yung mga ladies na mahaba kuko)3. 150characters for sms - yan lang ang available kaya hindi kayo makaka gawa ng nobela ..hehehe4. no MMS - wala rin picture na pwede send5. no forward msg - kailangan download mo pa yung iphone app para pwede ka mag forward ng msg6. wifi connectivity - if you are using a prepaid wifi (katulad ng binebenta sa mga coffee shop) you can't disconnect it. uubusin nya yun bago maputol ang time mo ..sabi nga ng iba pang porma lang daw talaga ang iphone ..hmmm still waiting for the 3G iphone! $200 if you get it with aT&T line $600 pag open line. ano kaya magiging rate talaga globe ..tsk tsk tsk Quote Link to comment

Kahit sa 3G iphone ba wala paring MMS? Maybe you can send pictures through wifi instead... dami na namang free wifi spots around the metro...Personally I'm not really worried with not being able to change the battery since after 2 years nagpapalit naman talaga most people ng cellphone... can't wait for the iphone though... finally i can sync all the stuff in my computer to my phone!!
