Both Smart Communications and Globe Telecom are holding a launch party for the iPhone 4S tonight. Globe with hold their event at Ayala Museum while Smart rented out the Rockwell area.
As a newcomer in the iPhone market, Smart is aggressive with the launch event so it’s hosting a huge party at the Power Plant Mall — some high-profile DJs, free movie and a brand new car (not sure if it’s a Mini Cooper or a Subaru Imprezza) will be given away to a lucky iPhone 4S subscriber.
Globe, on the other hand, will also be hosting an iPhone 4S launch at the Ayala Museum tonight starting 8PM with Kaskade in the DJ’s booth.
Of course, invited celebrities will also be there to keep people on their toes.
So far, the battlefront is now raging over at Twitter with both telcos drumming up excitement towards the launch event.
I just hope the processing and releasing of the units will be smooth and quick. Otherwise all these Twitter hashtags will fire back and become a nightmare.
The bigger question is — will all the socia media hype translate actually to offline conversions, line activation and ROI?
Let’s bring in the votes — Where are you camping out tonight?
P.S. Before you run and camp out, go check our iPhone 4S Review first.
Another option (SMART)
Unli Postpaid 599 (monthly x 2 yrs) + P33200 cashout = P47,576 (w/ unli call/txt to Smart,RED,SUN) Note: FREE Nokia C1-01 pa!!!
vs

Choose wisely. Use your imagination.
Cant wait for the apple iphone 5 to be released next year as annouced by apple
Been analyzing the offerings from both Telcos. iPhone 4S sold at the lowest plans:
Kung plan:
Globe Plan 1799 (monthly x 2yrs) + P4800 cash out = P 48K total in 2 yrs
Smart Plan 999 (monthly x 2 yrs) + 999/month = P 48K total in 2 yrs
Summary: Globe offers better value for your money with unlimited internet and P800 consumable amount (vs 250MB limit on Smart)
Prepaid:
Smart sells the iphone 4s at a lower price P33,200.00 per se (but Globe is yet to release their pricing scheme – may be lower, higher, or around the same range)
#smartiphone4S launch was the shizzle! free food, free booze, free concert, free arcade games, free coffee, free parking, AND the party was awesome! I heard globe brought kaskade, he left early for a gig, uso pa ba si kaskade? so 2005! just like their service, LOL!
Better plans? You sure? I don’t think you can consider it better if you won’t get the optimum services that you want.

Smart talaga ako, pero I’m torn between iPhone 4S and Galaxy Note. Wooo.
I think better pa rin ang Plans ng Globe let’s try to compare Globe 1799 VS Smart 1500.
Globe they have 1200 Consumable Voice+Text, Php 800 Unlimited Data usage and get to choose 3 Freebies Check on the site of globe.
So for Smart Plan 1500 unlidata, pero 60Mins Voice and 120 SMS. I think Globe has a better offer kase flexible sya kung gagamitin mo more on Voice or Text and get to enroll number for unlimited call and Text.
The Best part is I think the competition of Services. Finally!! which is good to the consumers.
Just got home from Smart’s iPhone launch and it sure as hell was dope!! Drink all you can Starbucks, Coffee bean, overflowing beer and Cocktails, food was overflowing as well got to watch Mission impossible for free, and I took home Beats. Kudos to the lucky guy who won the Subaru.
syempre sa Globe parin!
How’d they get the rights to display MI-4? Daming pera talaga ng Smart.
approved na ko sa globe! wish I could come to the party later kaya lang may pasok… tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
