iPhone3G – Coming August 22

grace on August 8th, 2008

Yes, you read it right! The new iPhone 3G is coming in the Philippines this August 22! I just read this from Globe’s site courtesy of Philmug.ph. This is indeed great news for ALL those tech junkies out there (like me). Some say it’s overpriced, some say it isn’t. I was actually a bit surprised with their prices for prepaid considering Apple announced that they will just retail it for $199. Too bad, I guess I’ll just stick with my old phone for the meantime.

Check below for Globe’s iPHONE plans.
