Globe iPhone 3G

I know that this is kind of late, but I have to write something about this phenomenal mobile phone which is about to be launched here in the Philippines. Of course I’m not talking about the 999th model of Nokia cellular phone. I’m talking about the iPhone 3G (a.k.a. iPhone 2.0) and its distributor/network carrier Globe Telecom.

I know tons of people here (not including myself) are already excited and are waiting and inquiring about the exact release date of Apple iPhone 3G. --iPhone 3G has already been launched in nearby countries like Japan, Australia, and New Zealand.

As of now, there are no concrete information about the precise release date for the Philippines, but I’ve heard that Globe iPhone 3G is coming in a couple of months, so we’ll just have to wait and see.

I agree that iPhone 3G is really a revolutionary mobile phone with tons of great and innovative features. However, I’m not really in a hurry to get one. I already have a cellphone with capable web browser and a pimped iPod with Linux inside. To those who are interested to buy iPhone 3G from Globe, the rumoured starting price for the prepaid model could go for around 20, 000 pesos.

I’m going to post an update here soon when iPhone 3G arrives here in the Philippines. And, if ever I’ll get one, I’ll let you all know.
