Got word from one of the reps from Globe last night that the white variant of the iPhone 4 will be available in the Philippines this week-end. Now that’s fast.
The white iPhone 4 will initially be initially available in Globe Business Centers in the NCR (Metro Manila) region.
No specifics were given if it’s going to be Saturday or Sunday (but I guess it will be Saturday) but you will definitely be able to see and get one this week-end. The price of the white variant will be the same as the black one.
Globe Telecom is the exclusive distributor of the iPhone 4 in the Philippines.
Update: Here’s the copy of the official press release:
Globe Telecom announced that it will bring the white model of iPhone 4 to subscribers in the Philippines, after launching the earlier black version in September of last year.
“The long wait is over. Globe is changing everything again by bringing the white iPhone 4 exclusively to mobile phone users in the country.

Hi guys,
have a question, my dad bought an iphone4 recently in HK and found out the external speakers don’t work. i checked the mute switch, speaker phone (while in a call).. and it still doesn’t work. any ideas on the defect? where can i have this fixed?
everything else works well, hearing sound through the headphones works, talking on the phone works also, it’s just the external speaker that doesn’t seem to work.
is this a common defect present in iphone4’s or we were just unlucky to get a defective one?
thanks for the input
