July 11th – iPhone 3G at 199 dollars and its coming here!

UPDATE: As this slowly unfolded under our noses – it seems that the “bargain” price of $199 is attached to a partner telecom provider. And the sad part is that I think they are free to abuse this exclusive distributorship deal with Apple in whatever way they see fit. Now that is just f#@ked up…

Original post: (June 13, 2008)

Can this be true? Will it really be selling at just $199 WORLDWIDE? The answer is yes! According to Steve Jobs himself. And its also coming here in the Philippines. So telecommunications companies and content providers, roll up your sleeves and start giving us some good deals and worthwhile downloads, features, applications and GAMES!

This new iPhone 3G, aside from the obvious 3G capabilities is thinner, faster and compatibility has been improved drastically.

8GB is coming out at $199 worldwide, just a few weeks away so be patient. If it sells more than that – lets email them.

16GB is at $299, bigger space and it comes in white. Nice one!

At Php44 exchange rate, that’s a little under Php9,000 – what the hell?! And to think that gas prices keep going up. Go technology!

Honestly, I never considered purchasing an iPhone when it first came out simply because after trying out some touch screen portable gadgets, I found it difficult and you keep going back to using the keypads. iPhone didn’t have the numeric keypads so my primitive mind assumed that it would be hard. But a few of my friends already got used to it. At first, SMS text messages from them drastically reduced – they couldn’t send text messages while walking or while driving so they kept calling. After a while, it seems that they adjusted well to the new interface and texting habits slowly went back to normal. So, having said that, I’m willing to take the plunge and switch – at 9,000 pesos WHY NOT?!

“iPhone 3G will be available to Globe’s postpaid and prepaid subscribers in the Philippines later this year.”

Watch the short video below – I’m not kidding! I just saw it on the news and I’m pretty sure you’ve heard of it already. Just in case (*wink)
