    Textual content messaging has develop into an integral part of our day-to-day lives. Nobody can deny the insurmountable quantity of convenience it has allowed us when attending issues of both our private and enterprise affairs. The ability to ship quick messages on the go is what makes text messaging so engaging that almost all of us merely can not stay with out it. It has really transcended from a mere luxurious to a necessity as evidenced by the heavy inflow of cell telephones out there today. Among them, the Apple iPhone is probably the one which garnered probably the most public adulation. It is as a result of the iPhone is the primary phone that mixed the powers of both cellphone and computer.

    Finally, dumating din sa Pilipinas ang bagong iPhone! Yipee! Super tagal ko na hinihintay ‘to. Thanks, Globe! I’m upgrading from my old iPhone to the new iPhone 3Gs. I’ve read the reviews and found out na mas mabilis nga ‘to than the old model. Mas mahaba rin ang battery life ngayon.The best thing: maraming plans inooffer ang Globe ngayon. More options for me and my gadget-crazy friends haha.

    Considering that what separates the 3G over the 3G S are the ff: – video capture, speed, and 3.2 camera it would be wise for Globe to offer this at a lower price than when it offered the 3G last year. Those features are not enough reason to offer the 3G S at a higher price.

    @Ardz
    i’ve heard this will be cheaper than the first iPhone

  17. Avatar for beadfreak beadfreak says:

    @Ron
    i think Globe wouldn’t counter Smart with another service offering since they do have the DUO already and Globe a few years back started that call-all-you-can promo by subscribing daily

  18. Avatar for Ardz Ardz says:

    This will be very expensive for sure.

    I wonder how much this thing will be. The Globe iPhone is a lot like highway robbery.

    Great… I was thinking of this earlier. Now, will 3G owners upgrade to 3GS? Would you Sir Yuga? Or would you wait for the HTC Hero or whatever Apple will release next year?
