@kelvin

welcome to the philippines

I think Globe Telecom (as always) never focused on the interest of middle earning citizens of this country. They are more concerned how much they would earn with all the crazed stuff apple brings to apple fans and especially emerging fanatics. I personally feel that globe telecom doesn’t want to bring this phone to the masses. that being said, i guess only “exclusive” or “rich” people can afford the steep prices without even considering the locked-in period of 2 years or 3 years. no, i won’t get this phone even if they offer me this for 20k!

Hindi naman talaga pang masa ang Iphone. It’s a high-end branded phone so don’t expect na pang masa yan. May royalty pa ang Apple diyan kaya talagang mahal. Kaya better yet bumili na lang kayo ng netbook. Asus 1005HA will be available on July 14 sa pc corner for 22995 for the 2GB RAM and 160GB HDD version. It is CNET Editor’s Choice for June 2009 and Amazon’s no. 1 best seller. It has slimmer design, better features and longer batter life (advertised up to 10.5 hours).

This is really great information.. Thanks for posting. errr,,but kinda expensive.

ur ryt Ian… kasi naman ung mga iba nde nag-iisip… nde nmn tama na icompare ang prepaid price natin dito sa 199dollars at 299dollars na postpaid plan sa US… nde naman tama na idemand na gwing 10000pesos at 15000pesos ng globe ang iphone sa prepaid… gusto nila eh ung $199 at $299 edi magplan cla sa globe at WAG MAG PREPAID.

2700 dirhams yan d2 sa dubai converted to peso will be 35,100php unit open line 32gb so konti lang ang difference mahal parin hehehe..saka na

Note to everyone that the $199 price of the 3GS in the US of A is actually a CONTRACT PRICE (post-paid cash-out price). No contract and locked prices of AT&T’s 3GS is $599 or PhP 30k, excluding taxes.

Sir Yuga, are the new, lowered prices of the iPhone 3G official already? If so, then when will they start to offer these new prices?

No thanks, 38k? common. id rather buy N97, besides, you can just jailbreak your itouch, it works like iphone na din. duh

Sa US that phone is a good deal for 199 and 299 for postpaid, kasi mataas naman ang income nila dun compare mo sa economic situation natin.

worth 38K and 42K for a cellphone that’s BS.

Sabi nga ng Microsoft “Don’t buy any self proclaimed hi-tech phones, we’ll have ours for you.”

i think they’re referring for the Zune Phone HD that will be coming out in early 2010.

Bill Gates is the master of piracy, and he wants to meet customers’ need for a phone.

iPhone 3GS downsides,
*No Multitasking
*3 megapixel Camera -VGA VIdeo
N97 captures DVD video
*No alphanumeric texting while on the go or driving..hehehe
But the real downside is the multitasking, one application at a time. tsktsk..

Well i guess i have to wait for the Zune Phone HD that would cost $349 unlocked for 16GB and $499 for 32GB. Let’s wait for the holidays to come.

nasasabi nyo lang yan dahil wala kayong pambili, hehe. but for me, even if i have millions to spare, wag na lang, donate ko na lang sa worldvision, for 40k you can send 66 kids to school in a month.

Expensive!!!with that amount I can buy a netbook and a high-end camera phone…tsk.tsk…

am rather confused with this info:

iPhone 3GS Prepaid Kits:
iPhone 3GS 16GB – Php38,850
iPhone 3GS 16GB – Php42,250

Globe’s 3G plans look more reasonable http://site.globe.com.ph/web/guest/iphone3g/iphone_offers?sid=m4i5nlxv2qvq1246849965092 . 13k for the 16 GB Iphone and 1600 per month.

that’s 4 PSPs already…. medyo mahal nga naman sha for our country…. hehe

netbook/phone combi pa din! hehehe!

actually, nakaka-inggit talaga kung iisipin…at talagang maganda ang iphone…but the price is the reason why a regular filipino like me can’t afford to buy at 35k plus…anyway, ok na rin naman ang 5110 for communication…

Haha….nkabili na ko sa Sydney, 1 month advance! 32GB pala dun, 39 pa rin nga lang…hehe.

kanang iphone 3g 8GB dapat $50 lng walang plan…unlocked, kaso may sakit sa atay ang CEO nga gadiktar kaya mahal. his decission is influenced by his ailment…a bad one for good bisnis! nokia N98 clone is quite interesting.

sisiw lng yn ky yuga.. iln n b iphone mo? ^_^

wo i am totally getting.

pre-ordered one yesterday, but the csr said ndi pa daw fixed ang prices. perhaps last minute changes will take effect depende sa orders? how laim.. nevertheless im still geting the new iphone. hehe..

Meron nko ng 3gs
and I think it’s nice
the only problem is wala p din multi tasking
I suggest samsung omnia 2 or jet sa mga low ang budget

this is so unfair., iphone 3g8GB is only 99dollars=5000php

iphone 3gs 8gb is only 199bucks= 8thou-10thou

so unfair

ipod touch is actually more expensive than iphone 3gs

bibili na lng ako ng apple na 22o 20pesos lng isang kilo.

@ cygenius
yang 199 at 299 ay may plan yan sa at&t. Wihtout the plan it’s 599 for 16gb and 699 for 32gb, I think.

What is the price difference in the U.S.?

When you finally have the chance of owning the iphone… then you will know why its expensive…

stupid ang GLOBE!!! Gahaman. Over pricing yan ah. Let’s just wait till Apple breaks that ties up with phone providers…

Damn yeah! I agree Mortred. They are really doomed. They don’t deserve to be the channel of Apple products… It’s really a shame for Apple.

You guys have to understand how Globe does its business… I have an iphone 3G 16gig from them, which I bought last year when they launched it for 43,799 (i opted for the prepaid) This is exactly how much you are going to pay if you’re going to get it from apple without a plan attached to it. I have a 32gig iPhone 3Gs from AT&T and paid $299 for the unit but I have a calling plan and a data plan that will set me back at least $90 (plus tax) a month and a lock in period of 2 years. So I pay more than $100 a month for service. That is like paying Php 5,000 a month for 24 months. But if you go on line and get an iphone without a subscription to a network (like the iphones in italy and australia, because it is illegal for phone companies to lock in phones to their network only), you’re expected to pay around at least $1,000. And if you buy it and bring it to the US, you’re stuck without warranty because they are only serviced at the country from which they were originally purchased.

To wrap things up, the iPhone is not for everyone… it won’t appeal to everyone, and won’t be affordable to everyone. Yet people rant like it is their God given right to demand from apple to bring down their prices to suit their buying power. an iPhone is like how a Mercedes is to cars. It is not for everyone, and not everyone can afford it, yet you do not hear a lot of people ranting and hating Mercedes Benz for having really expensive cars. My iPhone developed a crack and I went to apple to check why. I left the store with a brand new phone, no questions asked. Would Nokia ever do that for any of its customers? Its just typical of us Filipinos to sour-grape when things don’t go according to what we want them to be. I dream of one day owning a Lamborghini Murcielago, but I don’t go around lashing at Lamborghini for making really expensive cars. Just a thought.

hey,, stop thinkin about the global crisis because it will just let you down! think positive,, actually you can have this for free if you believe, if you can buy it,, its great

hey GLOBE!!!!!!!!! bkit till now la pdin stock ng 3gs?? ilang months n d p q tintwgan

i just bought a nokia e90 for P36,000. and im happy with my phone.

woohh…. must buy!

i got my new iphone 3gs a few days ago and i may say, it is really quite expensive but i enjoyed it alot. well not to say i haven’t sell my old unit(of other brand) since i really need video calling which is the iphone doesn’t have ;)

Got one from Globe yesterday. I’m a new postpaid plan subscriber of Globe because of the iPhone.It only took us less than hour to process the application and get the iPhone 3GS 16 GB right then and there. iPhone ftw. :D

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! ang tagal ko ng inaabangan ang iphone 3gs n yan!!!! walang stock d2 sa Dubai!!!!!!!sa hongkog daw marami… pero d pa nman ako ganun ka obses sa iphone pra languyin ang dagat makuha lng ang iphone! mura kc d2 sa dubai 2399 dirhams lng may free wireless net ka pa for 6 months kya ok n rin…

solid nmn yan makakapag set up na ako ng modified motor dyan e

Bakit ang mahal nman dito?? kakapabili ku lang nyan sa friend ng mom ku sa states and $199 lang sya dun.. mga P10 000 lan un pag peso.. grabe nman!

kaya 199$ lng kc me contract kapa sa at&t… aabot din o sobra pa babayaran mo..

Well said, MJ… iPhone is not for everyone. Since 1997 when GSM phones were still rare, I had a Microtac from Belgium and subscribed to then Islacom. Each time a new phone came out, I changed units… until my new unit was snatched in a jeep along Blumentrit!

Point is, have a very expensive phone if you can also afford a car or hang out in places where everyone has it so no one would want to grab yours.

I’m also SMARTER now– not only for switching to Smart but I’ve invested in 2 houses instead of paying Globe a monthly fee that’s only a little less than when you’re paying off a house.

Guys … I’ve read some of your comments… mine has warranty, it’s imported from a nearby country, no hassle for me to bring it back for warranty because I travel a lot …

YEHEY!! Can’t wait for my Nokia 3310!! WOOHOO!!

i love my iphone 3gs 32gb. i bought it from globe last nov 2009 as prepaid kit amounting to 44k and i have no regret coming from a sony xperia x1 user

konti LNG difference ng price. same sa pinas at us. $200 16g 3gs na may 2 yr contract plus tax base on reg. price of an iPhone which is worth $600- $700.u can’t have an iPhone without data plan which is $29.99 a month with AT&T. it’s fun to have an iPhone if it’s is jailbroken. millions of apps. but the down is that they don’t put adobe flash. apple n adobe still can’t work out things to put adobe on iPhone 4g.apple price products don’t go down as fast as other brands. I don’t know why but I really like their products especially their computers.
