Reserved: Globe iPhone 3GS 16Gb

I do not know if my fever is affecting my decision making centers. I just got off the phone with Globe customer service and have expressed my interest in getting a: Black 16Gb iPhone 3GS.

I am looking to get the device with a G-Flex 800 plan for 24 months and shelling out 25,350.00 PhP for the unit itself.

They will get back to me within 3 days to finalize my reservation. Estimated ship date is July 31, 2009

If this goes according to plan I will probably ditch my SMART plan and go back to Globe (shudder) because I will be tied down to a 2 year plan.

I will definitely keep my palm Treo Pro (Windows Mobile) with my SUN Cellular plan to do all the things the iPhone cannot do yet.

My HTC Touch3G and HTC S730 can rest in my drawer if I am not able to sell those. I think 2 devices is my limit, I tried carrying 3 before and it is just too much of a hassle.

If I am not pleased with the 3GS I am setting my sights on an Android device next.

Suffice to say I have taken my 1st steps towards the darkside (Apple Wall Garden)

    Muwahahahahaha! Welcome to the dark side! >:->

    I also still use my Treo Pro, but only for pim stuff. The iPhone still doesn't do categories the way I want them. Ed Hansberry is my pusher.

    and I heard that the iPhone 3Gs is really a nice phone. I couldn’t think of a better upgrade. It’s faster and more powerful than the earlier iPhone. I might as well get the prepaid plan of Globe, which is only Php38,850 for 16GB.

    @g-man i decided to get an unlocked 16Gb in HKG. I am using it with SUN cellular & I just upgraded my plan with unlimited data :) after 10 years with globe i have given up on them. I still have a globe visibility pre-paid modem just in case sun or smart fails at the same time for some reason.

So which is it? Nokia (NOK) and Microsoft (MSFT) announced a partnership today. Both lumbering companies have been in some trouble with their smartphone divisions. Both have been loosing market share to Apple, Android and Blackberry in recent years. WindowsMobile (previously PocketPC and currently WindowsPhone) once the dominant mobile OS, yes folks before the iPhone came into power Microsoft slowly but surely killed of it’s main competitor palm OS, which was acquired by hp last year and is now barely a sliver of a shadow of it’s former former former self. Just this week hp/palm unveiled 2 new smartphones the palm Pre 3 and Veer, as well as their entry into the tablet space with the TouchPad. hp being one of the top computer manufacturers at the moment has the resources to use and spread webOS like a creamy peanut butter across all markets they are in. By being one of MSFT’s biggest customers now suddenly not using Windows7 (still MSFT’s tablet OS of choice) and churning out comp...
