Nano-SIM spotted at Globe warehouse!

While we’re all waiting for the official announcement of the upcoming iPhone 5 on September 12, we just got an email from a source who took a picture of a Globe Nano-SIM.

The SIM card was allegedly shot at the warehouse of Globe which’s one of the distributors of Apple’s smartphone in the Philippines.

Since Globe Telecom has been consistently releasing the iPhone for many years, we’re now so close to confirming the iPhone 5 to arrive in the Philippines.

We’re all geared up and excited. If you’re up for retention or planning to get a new postpaid plan, wait a little bit and prepare for the new iPhone 5.

Backward compatibility is possible because “Even with the smaller size, these cards will be packaged in a way that will make them compatible with existing SIM hardware.” from http://techcrunch.com/2012/06/01/etsi-formalizes-the-40-smaller-4ff-nano-sim-standard/

I know this is no legit nano SIM and surely it doesn’t reach the 40% size of the microsim (not sure if 40% of the size of the microsim or 40% off on the size of micro sim). But in the looks of that, my god I might really inhale the nano sim! LOL!

Ohhhh. So mas maliit yung chip kaysa sa micro-sim?

In my case, prepaid ako. So pina-cut ko talaga yung sim card ko when I bought my iPhone 4S. So panibagong sim card na naman? Bukod pa sa dock connector yan.

Parang hindi na practical.

Not buying the iP5 because of the need to buy a new sim card and a new dock connector is like not upgrading your Toyota to a Lexus because you need to buy a new car cover and air freshener.

@Ponso:

You may have a point, but I’m thinking of it PRACTICALITY-WISE.

Sige, I’ll buy a nano-sim. Tapos? What about my current sim? I have to buy another phone to use it.

Iniisip ko lang, masyadong ma-effort ako para sa iPhone 5. Tapos yung features niya, sub par to the currently released phones like Xperia T, Razr HD, Galaxy Note 2, and even Lumia 920.

Why get a Lexus if I can take a Porsche?

Just my two cents.

what’s with the new contacts on the left SIM card?
I saw those new contacts last Monday on a new Globe Prepaid SIM…
