saw this one in the papers. Globe will be carrying this and will be available both in pre-paid and postpaid subscriptions.

I'm sorry for the stupid question (coming from a person who buys a new phone every 4 or 5 years), but can I buy an iphone in the US and immediately use it here in Manila? I remember before my Auntie brought an old cell phone from the US and I think it had to be dismantled before it could be used here in Manila. hehe. Gutay gutay na kasi yung 4 yr old phone ko.

Pwede pero you will need to unlock it since iPhones in the US are locked for AT&T sim cards...

Does the phone need to be opened/dismantled to unlock? If the price of iphone here is equivalent to USD199, I'll just buy here. I like it only because of the price. hehe.

Yan ang di ko alam, I think di na yan binubukas software lang kasi katapat nyan... Pero I doubt it will be priced $199 (or its peso equivalent) here its likely going to be more expensive...

the $199 price tag is assuming you get a 2 year contract with your telco provider.

just this morning, i've tried my sister's iphone (1st gen).
