#smart iphone 4

Back in September 2010, I wrote about Smart's bid to carry the iPhone 4 in the Philippines. That did not pan out but Smart continues to talk to Apple regarding their internet-enabled iDevices. I've chatted with several Smart execs about this before and though they say that they're continuously talking to Apple, they would not comment on the iPhone itself. Pangilinan confirming that Smart will carry the iPhone 4S by December. Pangilinan, chairman of Smart's parent firm Philippine Long Distance Telephone Co., confirmed that Smart was in talks with Apple to launch the latest version of the iPhone—iPhone4S—before yearend. “We’re working on the iPhone4 first because there's a lot of demand for it,” he said. The iPhone 4S will be offered to the high-end subscribers of Smart so we're looking at Plan UnliData 4000 or All-In Plan 3500 (probably with some cash out). For more than 3 years, Globe has captured the iPhone market in the Philippines, leaving Smart no choice but to pick Windows Phone 7 and Android devices as their flagship handsets (Smart has a strong partnership with HTC to bringing premium Android handsets in the country).
