Prepaid Globe customers will have to shell out P41,889 for an 8GB iPhone, according to Globe’s official website. A 16GB iPhone, on the other hand, will cost prepaid subscribers P48,899.
Post-paid subscribers could get the iPhone, which Globe will start offering on August 22 of this year, for a lower price. Subscribers to a P4,999 per month plan will get the 8GB unit for free.

Why the fuzz about pricing? Nokia and SonyEricsson have been selling its models for about the same price too. Remember paying for a P1 before for around P35-P40K? Gas prices were cheaper then and phones were less capable. (not that I’m for high iPhone prices)

It is really expensive but for sure many people will buy it. I already read the features of iphone 3G and it sounds interesting.
