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.
SMART! SMART! SMART! SMART! SMART!
will party later at Rockwell! =)
Lets go with the Best Network – SMART!

a friend of mine received a text from Globe saying that he will be given an iPhone 4S but when he called the number, they denied sending any text message. and yet the number that sent the message was from Globe, using a 4-digit number.
here’s the link to his post on his fb page:

Taga Las Pinas ako dammit!!! Globe Postpaid & Globe Telecom
I already have an iPhone 4. Not needing the 4s anymore. Siri is quite unreliable here even it’s pretty enticing.
Had I have no iPhone, I would prefer to camp out at Globe’s event.
Globe for Postpaid while Smart good only for prepaid. So, Globe for the win.

the smart iphones actual release will be on Dec 20 ..ive heard
Smart of course. Cause the more expensive your plan, the better you’re treated. At Globe, be it plan 999 or plan 5000 — you’re all the same to them. True story.
Besides, who’d pass on a chance to win a brand new car?
qualified or not, sa Globe ako magccamp. :)
Globe already called me a while ago! I will not be able to get my iPhone 4s tomorrow (Dec.16).. or later at 12 midnight.. approved na pala application ko and i was scheduled to get the unit on Dec. 27, 2011 at my preferred Globe store.. I was a bit disappointed kasi akala ko makukuha ko na before Christmas.. I belong to the second batch na makakakuha ng iPhone 4s according to the agent..
Watch this. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4VHzNEWIqA
a chance to win a b-new car? thats a no brianer…
i have to go with globe… with this kind of smartphone, you really hv to stick with the trusted one. See, Been 14 years prepaid subscriber with globe and never had a MAJOR problem with them. with smart.. kelangan talaga magtiya, if not with my co-workers under smart numbers..
(Future) Pinoy iPhone 4s owners congregating together… They are the 1%.
^ Agree.
Smart has Lupe Fiasco and Jermaine Dupri now. And for that alone I would prefer to go to Smart’s launch. But then again I’m not in the country so my preference is invalid.. haha.
Mukhang mas maraming pakulo ang Smart pero mukhang mas magulo din. Todo na sagutan sa twitter. Everytime EnjoyGlobe or Talk2Globe tweets, SmartCares answers back with their own publicity. I’d rather sleep and get my unit tomorrow as scheduled.
Since I’m a fan of Kaskade, I’d choose Globe. But that’s not possible. Whew.
..sa GLOBE posible….
If I can, I will never be at Smart.
Middle, selling iPhone4s jailbreak hehe, just kidding. I’ll probably just visit and wait for a Smart vs. Globe fans showdown ;)
I was told in Megamall they’ll be head-to-head in the launching, a couple of friends are going there for the fun.
