4. Ipod 3g June 11th, 2008 at 7:57 pm

   Is it real that it will jus cost around US$199? why that cheap? i just cant believe it! what if that i opt to buy 16G with a US$299 are there any hidden charge to it? will there be a big tax on it? I hope that i’ll have a reply with a complete, precise, accurate or exact price of it in terms of peso. Because I’m choosing whether to buy a Motorola E6, Motorola E8, or Ipod 3G. I just cant wait! Love Ipod! hmmm…

   iPhone for $199? - sounds cheap….but let us see….

7. mickeymouse1111 June 22nd, 2008 at 10:37 pm

   It sound cheap. Interesting, I wanna buy one, even the 16gb. Hope you could buy one for free via globe something something. that’s how my mom got her n73. i’ll tell my dad to get the iphone since he could get a new phone from globe since it’s 2 year beyond. haha! i hope so…

8. ExplodingBoy June 23rd, 2008 at 2:31 am

   I already have the first iPhone version 1.1.4…the only difference is the 3G capability but i dont need it because i use Wi-Fi at home and in our office…I just hope Globe doesnt sell it too cheap..Otherwise il switch to an HTC touch Diamond instead…..The reason i bought one is because not everyone can afford it….

9. butterscratch June 29th, 2008 at 12:08 am

   Reasons why iphone 3G is cheap:

   1. It is old technology; moore’s law states that approx every 18 months, the number of transistors being placed on an IC doubles for the same price. in short, 2x power, price remains relatively the same.

   There really isn’t much that changed on the new iphone; the significant improvements are just the GPS and the 3G, which is quite a standard technology already on smartphones today.

   2. Price cut is already old news to apple consumers considering how deliberate apple is on releasing new hardware versions of its computers from macbook air to mac pro with the same price that it was previously released (apple please stop breaking our hearts) as steve jobs have stated after the first iphone price cut, “that’s the price you have to pay for new technology” so you have the option to buy it at a premium, or wait till the price drops but not without the “tech” value dropping with it.

   3. Iphones released in the US are subsidized by ATnT, so we cant really expect to have something close to that price here in the philippines. maybe unless you are willing to hop on a 5K/mo platinum plan. sure thing is it isn’t impossible for a prepaid 16GB iphone 3G to reach Php 30K when released locally.

10. O June 30th, 2008 at 6:42 pm

    When exactly are they going to release it?
    I am planning to buy an iPhone 16G now.
    If they wil sel it this month, then I can wait.
    PLeeeeeeeease let me know.
    Thanks

11. hey July 5th, 2008 at 10:36 pm

    samsung f700 is better than iphone 3g its the i phone killer thr samsung f700

12. den July 6th, 2008 at 10:47 pm

    yes, sounds cheap indeed. cant wait for the iphone 3g……

13. tin July 9th, 2008 at 9:40 pm

    wen i get my iphone from australia do i hafta unlock it in greenhills? ive been researchin iphone thru d net en it says that there are hackers in greenhills hu could unlock it. please reply. cnt wait to hav it na.

14. lol July 11th, 2008 at 4:12 am

    @Tin:

    yup madaming hackers sa ghills, kahit sa ibang cheapipay looking na malls madami..nagkalat

15. spikes July 12th, 2008 at 7:00 am

    as of the moment wala pang panghack sa 3g but lets get it a few days or weeks for sure meron na and the good thing even us can do the unlocking.. right now nasa mga beta stage pa yung mga testing ng panghack para sa 3g.. sa zibri pinakita na pwede nang gamitin yung 3g para sa globe using the beta hack. to get more info search mo ziphone or iphone iplus.. sila yung 2 na nagawa ng unlocker for iphone. ill give the link below kung pwede ipost dito

16. gianne July 13th, 2008 at 2:40 pm

    hhhhaaaaaiiiii….. kelan kya aq makakabili ng iphone 3G? meron n kaya ngaun d2 s pinas? san kaya at magkano? if any anyone knows kung san meron please txt me… 09173422681

17. reymondc July 13th, 2008 at 7:02 pm

    note:If you have a 1.1.4 iphone never upgrade it to firware 2.0. Sa ngayon wala pang unlocking utility para sa iphone 3G. It would possibly take ziphone to hack it maybe in just 2weeks or less but to perfect the unlocking matatagalan. Apple have learned alot from the previous iphone, they wont allow any jailbreak/unlock to happen just as easy as with the previous iphone.

18. ipod v.2 July 15th, 2008 at 2:31 pm

    my mom will be buying iphone 3g in the states? will i be able to use it here in the philippines using my sun or globe prepaid sim card?

19. rix July 17th, 2008 at 10:05 pm

    hahaha! im planning to get this phone.. my mom agreed.. 299$ is cheap.. i know that price depends on what the currency and vat is.. so lets bet the 16gb model would be at 16k.. though i doubt that globe will not be the only one who will distribute the units.. i know it will be available at greenhills. that mall got everything you know? hehehe so it will be cheaper i guess.. lolz

20. rix July 17th, 2008 at 10:11 pm

    to ipod v.2:

    i guess if you buy the unit in the states it will be locked to at&t(provider) so you will need to hack it to use other networks..

    just wait for globe to distribute it. you dont need to hack the philippine version of iphone 3g since you can do it using iTunes..

    i guess one drawback for the iphone is texting.. well for me at least.. my hands kept pressing the wrong keys.. well a little adjustment wont hurt,, lolz

21. chester July 21st, 2008 at 12:47 pm

    cant wait to buy one

22. ting tong July 23rd, 2008 at 7:34 am

    its not cheap. you will see in the website that there is disclaimer. at&t will offer the 8GB for $199, but you need to subscribe to their service plan (2 years). same process will apply to other countries.

    as for that person na nagsabi na kaya sya bumili ng iphone kasi hindi afford ng iba, sobra ka boy. htc diamond. kalokohan.

23. jaile15 July 25th, 2008 at 8:27 pm

    Para dun sa taong yun, YAN ANG POSER.

    Sobra naman yung kung magsalita e baka mayaman pa ako sayo hehe

    Peace

25. Flores July 28th, 2008 at 11:28 pm

    The fact is: the real price is not $199 nor $299. This price is for those who want to have a postpaid contract P2.000 to P3.000 a month. In case of prepaid alias buy iPhone without contract but still locked to Globe, its price will be $499 (P22.000) for 8Gb and $599 (P27.000) for 16GB. This how AT&T does in USA.

26. AXes069 July 29th, 2008 at 6:42 am

    I saw an iphone 3g in a mall here in the philippines… and it costs 65,000k pesos…!!!! so much for 199$ huh! i saw an add, a black market seller selling it for 55,000k… ouch.. best guess is globe will release it close to 30k..

27. x August 5th, 2008 at 10:21 am

    Cool! Ima go get one today!

28. chris August 8th, 2008 at 12:52 pm

    haha, seems like this ‘ExplodingBoy’ is a poser! rich people doesn’t brag, no need! if i know, analog phone pa gamit mo no?hahaha!
    para di OT, iphone 3g really is expensive, and please, magbasa ng mabuti, kaya nga me ‘*’ after $199 kasi you have to get the phone with a subscription from at&t… wait for the phone to be released, wag umasa sa mga conversion rates ek-ek, i’m sure yung mga prices na sinasabi nyo hindi yan yung price sa release…

29. cuapao August 9th, 2008 at 12:22 am

32. roy August 14th, 2008 at 12:27 am

    i have a question!! if ever i will buy i phone 3g na postpaid in us!!! pwede ko ba ipa unlock un tapos gamitin na dito sa philippines using pre paid

33. cuapao August 14th, 2008 at 10:01 pm

    you cant. besides its POSTPAID, meaning you’ll be paying for 2 years straight. equivalent to buying an iphone here in the philippines.

34. rommel August 15th, 2008 at 9:06 pm

    anybody interested I will sell my Iphone 3G 16gb for 40K , once I get it from globe txt me at 09178579335

35. cuapao August 15th, 2008 at 9:38 pm

    -swack-

    if i were you, make a reservation because i think they have “batches” for the iphone. i phoned globe a while ago regarding my “follow-up” reservation, they said, “yes sir, most probably kasama kayo sa first batch ng iphones.” i repeat.. THATS WHAT I THINK.

    -porkypig19-

    reservations started last august 6, 2008. globe stopped accepting reservations yesterday (aug. 20, 2008) at 12nn.

    i made my reservation aug. 8. but then globe screwd up my reservation. so i made another resrvation via business center in alabang town center nung aug. 19. they will call tas sasabihin nila kung kelan mo makukuha ung iphone mo. hope this helps.

44. -kent- August 21st, 2008 at 10:50 pm

    GRABE NA TO !!!! SOBRA MAHAL NAMAN ANG GLOBE!!!! 200USD LANG SA US PERO DITO MORE THAN TWICE THE PRICE!!!!! ANO BA YAN.

    MAAWA NAMAN KAYO, bawasan nyo naman yang presyo GLOBE!!!

45. drenchu August 25th, 2008 at 5:53 am

    gusto nyo bumaba ang prices ng mga bagong mobiles and pocket pc’s?? less interest in the product….means less demand …….then lower prices…..tapos bili na kayo!………….more hype you give a certain product….the more expensive it gets……..iphone ist gen is still expensive in saudi arabia and dealers are keeping their stocks, prices for a used one range from SR2000-SR2400 (P24,000-30,000) new one goes from SR3000-up (P36,000-up) and to note, tax-free country ito! and think what you really want in a fone you’re going to buy, not what everybody wants……….then you’ll get the best deal!!!

46. -shumi- August 26th, 2008 at 3:32 pm

    kaya mahal pa ang iphone 3g dito satin kasi bago pa yan.. antayin nyong mag labas ng bagong iphone ulit sila steve jobs.. panay kayo reklamo at yabangan dyan.. wlang mangyayari sa yabangan at reklamo nyo.. kung namamahalan kayo wag kayong bumili.. kung kya mong bumili ng iphone 3g(regardless kng ilang GB) eh wag kang magyabang dahil hindi iphone ang may pinaka mahal na price na cellphone nu!

    See the iphone unlock arena in greenhills 2nd floor to those who wants their iphone to unlock…Wants to buy iphone globe see globe outlet services like SM City carpark, Trinoma, MOA, Mega Mall Alimall etc.

49. TOMI September 16th, 2008 at 9:20 pm

    ganito lang yan. ang iPhone, pang elite, if you cant afford it, then you can’t. hindi pang masa ang iPhone no.FYI. your paying $199 for a 3G phone, imagine naman yung $400 for a 2G phone. ano pa kaya sa 3G phone, that means you’ll have to be tied up for at least 2 years with plan. grabe kayo, yung ibang phone, para sa MASA, ang iPhone pang ELITE(as told by my business math teacher).

51. Lorena Sanchez September 24th, 2008 at 11:54 pm

    Ano ba ang meron sa iPhone na yan at halos lahat kayo nagka gusto? mag aasenso kaba pag ginamit mo ang iphone na iyan? tatalino ka ba pag ginamit mo yan? Why not settle for a Phone that can call and text. At isa pa, halos lahat sa mga nag post ay magpapabili pa sa mga parents nyo. My gawd !! iiyakan nyo mga parents nyo para maging “IN” sa uso? SUS !! 40,000 for a measly phone with high tech features? give me a break !! i’m no techno freak pero para sa akin mas ok na ang Low end phone na kompleto sa load, hindi katulad ng naka iphone ka nga pero prepaid naman, ALL TXT lng ang load.

52. Natco September 28th, 2008 at 12:58 pm

    Dont be rip off by some of the people selling iphone 3g. There are some iphone from other countries which are deffective. That’s the reason why they sell it unlock already. Also, you will notice that most iphones which are sold have dead pixel. It is better to invest to iphone w/ warranty from apple.

    Be careful!!!!

53. jecka_mikay October 1st, 2008 at 11:40 pm

    i heard from globe, they have a post paid plan for the iphone 3G but u have to pay 29K then pay 5h a month minimum for 2 yrs contract..

    i planning to buy it this dec as a gift for myself i think it’s worth a shot.. amaze ako sa specs ng phone and the features are amazing.. it’s like all in ONE.. now ain’t that great.. better to invest in something worth the prize rather than have it cheap but then end up in the loosing end..

    cia0..jecka!

54. nyekngek October 4th, 2008 at 1:34 am

    i got my iphone from my cousin from the US. way way much cheaper than buying it at globe. got it for $199 and that is less than php10k rather than buying it at globe with a price tag of php3+k. globe sucks for that :p

57. ekasa October 13th, 2008 at 6:13 pm

    nambobola lang yan–yong 199 dolars na iphone 3g plus 2 years contract aabot ng 1,900 dolars-yan ay kung aprobado ng AT&T yong credit line mo.
    kailangan ay gamitin mo for 30 days ang contract mo kung hindi ay magmumulta ka ng 800 dolars-lalabas na mas mahal pa sa globe ang iphone nyo.
    kung may kamaganak ka sa US na magbabayad ng contract mo sa AT&T ay pwede. O kaya huklugan mo sa kanya yong subscription sa AT&T.
    Pero wag nyo ipagyabang na 199 lang ang iphone hyo.
