This can be good for the Philippine market in making more revenue for what they sell and the government receiving a lot of VAT so they can develop this country. This is a good idea from Globe to sell the iPhone which is such a popular phone, It will sell like hotcakes!
mmm iphone. gusto ko nyan. kaso prang di sya user friendly e. nasanay na sa nokia...
papatok yan sa mga tao. maporma e. tpos may 3G na... laki pa ng screen... perfect for video talks. san ka pa?
Not only iPhone, but WiMAX as well? This is truly good news. Wi-fi for everyone!
iphone.. wimax.. tempting. VERY tempting. A sure hit for people who can afford. But not really a necessity, if you'd ask me.
Hhhhmmm............I have different ideas on the I-Phone.
Well, it's not user-friendly and is pricey, so that gadget is not for the faint-hearted.
The second thing is that it won't drive sales that much. I've read about the review of the I-Phone from T3. Bluetooth has limited connectivity, no instant text messaging, no video recording, no MMS, no infrared, GPRS is bad, and such others.
But since the I-phone has style and a bit of substance, then I may be wrong about my prediction.
iPhone is kinda good.. What i like about this is its style and the power of it to be a phone/iPod. I love their iPod and I'm not alone with that because the world loves it and is considered the best invention of our generation. I think this iPhone 2 will make it big and sell because logically thinking, the iPhone 1 made it big - even if the consumers must go first to a technician to unlock something because its for the residents of the US use only. What more if you can get it hassle-free and is built especially built for the use of our country?
It's good to hear that Iphone is finally launching here in the Philippines. Has anyone noticed that we are usually one of the countries that comes last to receive new "hitech" stuffs? I not sure why this is so, is it because we are a third world country? I hope these manufacturers would be fair in distributing their products.
