    wag na magcompare ng US price kasi wala naman tau sa US! LOL.

    got my first G iPhone from US, nakalusot lang kasi naka Cingular (now AT&T) din ako tas pumapayag pa sila noon na lumabas ng apple store na hindi nagactivate. ngaun inde ka na makakalabas ng store without activating the phone so ung $199 mo madadagdagan pa ng para sa iphone plan.

    kung hindi ka matyaga mag mod ng gadgets sinasabi ko nang inde ka mageenjoy sa iphone – walang pang forward ng sms, mms, etc (inde ko lang alam kung kaya na ng firmware 2.0).

    bilin nyo nalang ung akin, fully customized at unlocked 8GB first G iphone. LOL!

    Iyong sa istets, hindi din totoo iyong 199 thing. Me lock-up din sila duon sa AT&T at monthly fee; same thing na meron ang globe. Kung bibilhin mo ng unit lang iyong iphone, more or less, ka-presyo din natin dito.

    Kaya iyong inaasahan kong 2 unit SANA! na maipabibili, turns out kulang pang pambili ng isa. GRRRRRRRRR!!!!

    Nauna lang siguro akong ma-bad trip ke pareng Istib Jobs

    When I saw it just now, I was like “WTH? I thought it’s just 199 USD?”. I guess I’ll just stick with my good old 838pro

  14. Avatar for Melai Melai says:

    Ha ! What kind of pricing is that ? :T
    US sells it for only $199 [8GB] and $299 [16GB]
    which costs like 14K-15K+ when we convert in
    in pesos. Sheesh! I’d rather buy it here in
    England for just £159 [14K+ pesos] Hmmp!

    if you’re going to think of it… It is affordable… There is a 12 months 0 percent interest offer you know…

    And in regards to the one who posted that Globe did not allow him to avail of the Iphone because he still has pending 2-year lock, it’s actually true for new subscribers… But if you have been subscribed for a couple of years already, they will allow you to cancel whatever promos you applied that caused the 2-year lock, to give way to IPhone promo.

    globe is being quite an opportunist in regards to their pricing of the iphone 3g, coz in the states they just sell the 8gb model for $199 = 9k here and yet they will sell it for 37k!!! damn!!! screw the free load and just stick to the original price that steve made… i think globe is being so freakin’ unreasonable!!!! why would they do that?!!! i think globe just burn their asses in hell for their greed. but the sad part is, i think i would still gragb myself 1, i just dunno if i’ll ask my friends to buy me 1 in the u.s. which is way more cheaper rather than gettin’ my ass broke!!!
