if you really want unlimited internet on your iphone buy unlimited plan from sun, jailbreak your iphone, remove the sim from the modem and stick it inside your iphone. There you go unlimited internet on your iphone. My friends drool over the fact that i got internet connection on my pocket LOL!!!

This may not be revelant but i figured i’d post this anyway. If you’re using ubuntu 8.10 you may be in for some issues with the network manager. For some unknown reason it stops functioning. You will need to manually set you’re resolv.conf with your ISP’s DNS servers. That file is located in /etc/network/resolv.conf

@cuapao, again how about Nokia? Globe would not want to alienate its biggest mobile handset partner in the country.

“The iPhone will only be a small percentage of the total phone users in the Philippines (my guess is less than 0.1%)” -yuga

well in that case. why not implement the unlimited 3g blahblah for the iphone users only? not all globe subscribers use 3g that much since they’re phones only give them simple “webpages” not like iphone 3g(that gives rich html webpages-inshort, just like viewing a website through the computer)

i would suggest that globe should offer the unlimited 3g service only to those who are buying iphone 3g.

I think Globe is able to scale the surge in 3G connectivity but they won’t put to much resources into it mainly because they’re not sure if Pinoy are wiling/able to pay the price of speed.

@BrianB – lets put it this way…for geeks Linux is Plug-and-Play the rest it is still Plug-and-Pray

@zerukul
actually he can play games, but that depends on how much time he’s willing to investing twinking the laptop (WINE setup for games is usually a pain).

@BrianB
Depends on what the guy/girl intends to do with the laptop and how much it can really do (specs that is).

He won’t be able to play many games since most of the games available on windows does not have a linux counterpart. More so, if he is a programmer, he will not be able to use Microsoft development tools. I think it is okay to purchase a linux laptop if you will use it mainly for documents and researching.

Can anyone tell me the weakness of Linux. What is stopping, say, a college student from purchasing a linux laptop. What is his main limtation if he does?

I called Globe if I could score an iPhone for my Platinum they say that I have to avail it as a new Plan. My Platinum cost me 5K/mo (w/ 650 FreeSMS and 1,100 mins of call) and the Plan with globe visibility is about 4,999 w/ FREE IPHONE 3G, 750min calls, 650freeSMS, 100 hrs mobile Internet and Unlimited wifi to Wiz. Its very unfair for me specially if my bill reaches 90K a month and the difference is only a peso. BTW SMART gives me a “New High-end Phone” every month with this kind of Billing although they always ran out of stock. The question is will both networks offer unlimited internet?
