Too steep for a phone that’s been reported to heat up too much that the back changes color and people not getting through the whole day with enough battery life.

actually, nakaka-inggit talaga kung iisipin…at talagang maganda ang iphone…but the price is the reason why a regular filipino like me can’t afford to buy at 35k plus…anyway, ok na rin naman ang 5110 for communication…

I have a cheapskate friend from Australia who got an iPhone and it costs her AU$2 per month. Have I mentioned that the unit is free?

Globe is just a bunch of money-grubbing elitists.

Globe’s 3G plans look more reasonable http://site.globe.com.ph/web/guest/iphone3g/iphone_offers?sid=m4i5nlxv2qvq1246849965092 . 13k for the 16 GB Iphone and 1600 per month.

nakakadala yang GLOBE my sister bought an IPHONE 3G sa kanila prepaid kit.

ang after 4 months nasira so binalik namin for repair or exchange kasi may warranty.

sinabi ba naman na nabasa, and hindi sya covered ng warranty so ipapagawa na lang namin sa kanila. aba they are charging us 36K for the repairs ang kakapal talaga ng mukha

Sa US that phone is a good deal for 199 and 299 for postpaid, kasi mataas naman ang income nila dun compare mo sa economic situation natin.

worth 38K and 42K for a cellphone that’s BS.

Sabi nga ng Microsoft “Don’t buy any self proclaimed hi-tech phones, we’ll have ours for you.”

i think they’re referring for the Zune Phone HD that will be coming out in early 2010.

Bill Gates is the master of piracy, and he wants to meet customers’ need for a phone.

iPhone 3GS downsides,
*No Multitasking
*3 megapixel Camera -VGA VIdeo
N97 captures DVD video
*No alphanumeric texting while on the go or driving..hehehe
But the real downside is the multitasking, one application at a time. tsktsk..

Well i guess i have to wait for the Zune Phone HD that would cost $349 unlocked for 16GB and $499 for 32GB. Let’s wait for the holidays to come.

being sold on gadgetgrocery.com 16gb-P44,000 and 32gb-P49,000.

i read on yahoo news, i think, about complaints na ang bilis daw uminit. baka daw i-recall.

i think i can wait a little longer.

Note to everyone that the $199 price of the 3GS in the US of A is actually a CONTRACT PRICE (post-paid cash-out price). No contract and locked prices of AT&T’s 3GS is $599 or PhP 30k, excluding taxes.

Sir Yuga, are the new, lowered prices of the iPhone 3G official already? If so, then when will they start to offer these new prices?

Yup, at least US$70 a month to have your cp working then US$30 to have the fulldata access (internet) which is mandatory for iPhone buyers plus the priec of US$299 for the 32 GB plus whatever sales tax (depends on what area) 9.25% where I’m from.

$199 for 16GB sa states that would cost about $70 per month. nasa Plan 3500 – Php9,550 32GB. mas mura pa rin dito when it comes to plan. pero kung sa prepaid, mahal siya/ kasi it’s 30K sa australia ang 16GB and 38K for 32GB.

Hindi naman talaga pang masa ang Iphone. It’s a high-end branded phone so don’t expect na pang masa yan. May royalty pa ang Apple diyan kaya talagang mahal. Kaya better yet bumili na lang kayo ng netbook. Asus 1005HA will be available on July 14 sa pc corner for 22995 for the 2GB RAM and 160GB HDD version. It is CNET Editor’s Choice for June 2009 and Amazon’s no. 1 best seller. It has slimmer design, better features and longer batter life (advertised up to 10.5 hours).

Mahal naman tlga ang iphone. Mukhang mahal lang kc sa US eh 199 at 299 dollars. Pero kaya mura yan sa US eh kc may contract at postpaid yan. Kung titingnan niyo eh may free iphone pa sa mga plans. Don’t compare the prepaid price of Iphone sa US Postpaid price na may contract.

I think Globe Telecom (as always) never focused on the interest of middle earning citizens of this country. They are more concerned how much they would earn with all the crazed stuff apple brings to apple fans and especially emerging fanatics. I personally feel that globe telecom doesn’t want to bring this phone to the masses. that being said, i guess only “exclusive” or “rich” people can afford the steep prices without even considering the locked-in period of 2 years or 3 years. no, i won’t get this phone even if they offer me this for 20k!
