Globe now accepts iPhone 4 Pre-Orders

Pre-order na ba or “registration of interest” pa lang? :-)

Either way, there’s no harm in registering.

Does this one include the thick rubber case iphone4 fix? Hahahah.

Great news for my aunt. She has been dying to know when Globe would make take in orders or reservations for the iPhone 4. She already has the bumper case!

at present im in d US and wil be back to the phil in 3 weeks. im buying this iphone 4 from a friend n plan to unlock. i hv a current smart line phone in the phil. if i cut/trim my sim card will it work? can i use iphone4 then? nid help plsss.

It’s looking like more of a mailing list for updates rather than a pre-order site. I called in to Globe customer care as well and they’re telling me to register so I can have the latest updates.

jailbreak jailbreak!!!!
history again… panahon pa ng iphone 3gs ay mataas na ang patong nila… expect again in iphone 4

on the 2nd week of September

siguro by December, available na ang iPhone 4 in the Philippines. kaya lang, 6 months after, meron na namang bago, iPhone 4G, laos agad ang apple phone nyong P60,000. hahaha

people should not be MISLED, this is not a PRE-ORDER but merely a registration of interest. BLOGGERS should think twice before writing articles, be responsible and truthful in your contents.

Globe Registration of Interest, FAQ:

Do I need to register an interest before I can purchase the iPhone 4?

No. By registering your interest, you will only be kept informed on the latest iPhone 4 updates from Globe. It does not constitute a confirmed order and is not necessary in order to purchase. The advantage of registering your interest in this website is you will be one of the first to know the latest updates on the iPhone 4’s availability in the Philippines.

im sorry i have a wrong link..just search DynoShop Collections on facebook :)

Why don’t you guys just go to the Apple Store Singapore site and order from there. The 16G iPhone 4 is selling at SGD888 – less than 30K. Openline pa. No white version nga lang.

as per my experience, the “registration of interest”, Singtel used this to allocate the first batch of volume of units.
then 2 days prior to the official release date, Singtel sent invitation emails for those who registered, and if you confirm in that email, they will give you priority on the specified release date, and they will not entertain those who didnt sign up (on the release date).
They entertained other orders, the immediate week after the release weekend, but with 3weeks leadtime.

As for me, i passed up, and declined the invitation. I didnt find anything wrong with the phone, just thinking if i should spend the money on something else.

this is not a preorder form. in fact after sending the form a notice will say that “Thank you for successfully registering your interest. We will contact you via the email address which you have provided to inform you on when you can pre-order the iPhone 4”

they will just email you when preorders are ready.

I got my iPhone 4 last week free handset upgrade from Starhub. Snappy sya, mabilis, and superb performance when it comes to multitasking. Although it will be better if you install Backgrounder app (available in Cydia and Hackulo Repository) to eliminate the buffer everytime you switch to an already-opened app running in the background.

The antenna problem is still there.. Sa lahat ng telcos sa Singapore kase pinakamahina ng reception ang Starhub. So mararamdaman mo talaga ang “deathgrip”, I used to play around with my iPhone when I got it, Jailbreak and installed hundred of apps, then tinawagan ako sa landline na bakit daw madalas di ako makontak.. hahaha. Then I knew it. The Deathgrip! Pag malakas naman ang reception mo, wala ka talaga problema, if you have 5bars, the actual reading could be more than that. Imagine running 180kph on a 120kph speedometer. Parang ganun, so yung changes ng signal strength, di mo talaga maramdaman. Pero if you are riding on the edge of 1 to 2 bars lang, Jezzuzz Christ! You would rather put the phone on the table and put it in speakerphone.

There are a lot of possible fixes posted on the web. Anjan yung, sinasabing yung micro sim copper terminals are touching the edge of the sim tray kaya nagshoshort and signal strength is compromised and that you will have to grind the opposite edge and position it about 0.5 to 1mm away from the sim tray’s edge. Which I already did, wala naman gaano effect.

So I ordered a case, i dont like the case that Apple is giving away. They F*CKED it up and now they are giving away cheap-fix without styling. I bought the CNCd aluminum Element Case VAPOR CARBON online because it was advertised as able to fix the antenna problem and maporma ang dating. But that was onehelluvalie. When I put my phone in, yung 2-3bars ko dati, gone! All gone! Then I understood, kaya pala silicon yung pinapamigay ng Apple..

I thought the antenna issue was something I can deal with before I pre-ordered this set. Well, it’s still an iPhone4, people still queue up and getting crazy over it. I’ll see what I can do. :D

I don’t know why Apple even bothered launching the iphone in the Philippines. There’s probably only less than a thousand people who could really afford an iphone over there. And a lot of times, the iphones you see in the Philippines were purchased by a relative in the US, unlocked it and sent over there.

Unlocking is part of jailbreaking the phone. It allows you to use other carrier’s sim card. Instead of using the Apple App Store to download apps, you need to go to Cydia instead.

other than cydia, better to use ther repositories like installous, sinfuliphone and elpelle6 among others that i have.. andaming cracked paid apps.. you can also be able to use the facetime over 3g!

microsim ng globe postpaid di pa magagamit for iphone4 pang ipad lang. u can cut your sim naman, i already did. :)

@andy- may kasama kasi na atnt microsim tong phone ko kaya un yung guide ko.

the thing is, its very expensive if bought in the phils, but in other countries you can get it with just USD200 (or S$250), along with a Php1500 equivalent 12Gb data plan, so its not absurd to get one. its also a fun option to the blackberry for business push mail. i just hope our telco will soon be able to subsidized the phone initial cost to make smartphones more affordable in the phils.

i just bought an iphone4 32g 4.0.2 version from Apple store with no contract in the US and i can find anyone to unlock it form AT&T. Ive been researching the web for softwares to unlock my phone and i found a couple and its not free. U have have to pay atleast $24.99-49.99. i dont mind paying but im worried coz they might me fakes or scams. do u have any idea about these web sites if they’r for real? i need help plsss.

http://www.iphoneunlocking.com/ HERE IS ONE OF THE SITE THAT CLAIMS ITS UNLOCKING AND JAILBREAKING SOFTWARES.

Kelan kaya lalabas ang pricelist…

@chinchin – check this website www.tipidcp.com

I will be getting a white iphone 4 from the US(the prepaid one, not those priced @ $299.) I will be using a globe microsim. Is it still necessary for me to unlock the phone to be able to use the globe microsim? If so, where can I get the service? Or can I do it by myself at home since I don’t want to risk losing my phone in greenhills?

Good post. I study something more difficult on different blogs everyday. It’s going to always be stimulating to learn content material from other writers and follow slightly something from their store. I’d favor to use some with the content on my weblog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll offer you a hyperlink in your web blog. Thanks for sharing.
