Thinking that Globe already has the exclusive rights to carry the iPhone 3G in the Philippines, other networks would grab competing handsets like the Google Android G2 phone (aka HTC Magic).
Today, Globe announced they are officially offering this Android OS-powered phone to their subscribers. Unlike the Google G1, the G2 sheds off the qwerty keyboard for a large full touch screen.

If it takes a 7000 plan to be free… the cash price must be expensive!
MP says:
waiting for your review on this model.
Abe Olandres says:
@Miguel – am asking for the SRP or prepaid price. Sure must be more expensive than iPhone 3G.
@MP – hoping to borrow one for a review. ;)
loadex says:
Catching the niche market huh!.. Maybe Globe is having a good ARPU for those iPhone users.. that’s why they are bring in another exclusive phone..
Did Smart launched an exclusive phone years ago?.. I think Amazingphone ata tawaga dun.
Is Globe replicating such feat?
Kelvin Servigon says:
aus ang globe ah, talagang dinadala nila ang mga sikat na phones here in our country, hmm, ung palm pre ba? ndi kaya nila kukunin un for us?
GoBusiness101 says:
Wow! just got my new phone already. Next time
Reggie says:
but isn’t it SMART is also going to release the HTC Magic? who’s really the first?
Patrick says:
@Kelvin: Yeah, they should get the Pre too!
Miguel says:
@yuga
actually the G2 has the exact CPU/memory/OS specs as the G1 (or DevPhone1).
one thing you’re going to miss – no paid apps yet for most users, except US, UK and a few other places.
Jhay says:
So Globe has once more trumped Smart eh?
Wonder how the other would respond. ;)
