All I want for Christmas is an iPhone. Yes, an Apple iPhone, one of my Christmas list. Not that I am dreaming but I am asking. haha 
.
I have been seeing a lot of reviews about Apple iPhone and I am craving to own or get my hands on one. Last June 2007, my wife and I was planning to buy a PDA phone with wifi or a smart phone because we always like going to coffee shops and browse the internet. Almost all coffee shops here in Davao is wifi hotspot. Oh this is the beauty of mobile internet, wireless. We carefully weigh the pros and cons of owning a PDA phone with wifi and a smart phone. But instead, we ended up buying a laptop.
It is just a week after we purchase the laptop when I heard about the iPhone. I didn’t think twice about its specifications and features. It is a laptop, a smart phone, an ipod, and a PDA all in 1 slim package … I must be exaggerating but it is almost near to that. The Apple iPhone, which combines a mobile phone with an iPod music player, has not yet been released in Southeast Asia. iPhones in the US are exclusively available on AT&T’s mobile network.
But the iPhone has a major drawback: the cellphone network it uses. It only works with AT&T (formerly Cingular), won’t come in models that use Verizon or Sprint and can’t use the digital cards (called SIM cards) that would allow it to run on T-Mobile’s network. So, the phone can be a poor choice unless you are in areas where AT&T’s coverage is good. It does work overseas, but only via an AT&T roaming plan. [Source: Walter S. Mossberg and Katherine Boehret]
But many were asking if iPhone can be used in the Philippines? There’s no confirmation yet from our local network carriers here and I hope they will be ready for this. There are so many speculations if iPhone can really be used as a phone but If indeed, I’m sure this will be a big hit here soon in the Philippines.
So anybody here can afford to buy me one? haha. Hurry up.

Hi Charles. Glad to see you give in to the iPhone craze. Haha. It really is one of the best devices for 2007. And what better way to end the year than to own one of the years best gadget ever.
Hope we do get it for Christmas buddy.
You’re not the only one that wants a iPhone

iPhone all the way. haha. Also, I’m eyeing on Macbook Pro.
Hey Charles,
I totally agree. All I want for Christmas is an iPhone as well. It’ll make mobile Internet surfing a lot easier.
Btw, your blog is looking great!
thanks for the visit Gyutae. Congrats on your blog. It has been creating stir in the blogosphere. Keep up the good work.
Btw, thank you too for the compliment.:)
A Macbook Pro is looking great too. But because I already have a laptop, I’d choose a Wii as a second runner up. Haha.
I want an iPhone too! Or if I don’t get it, I just want a newer, faster and smaller notebook.
My uncle has an iphone. I would like to get one too since I absolutely love the internet feature, and some of the other features. However, it is quite pricey right now and I spent over $600 on my Xbox 360 Elite. So, it will have to wait…
I hope you get one.

I don’t know why my comment did not appear on this page.
Josh, thank you for dropping by. Yeah, iPhone is still quite pricey right now.
Hi Charles! Long time no see. To answer some of the questions posted in your blog post…
YES, the iPhone works with our local telcos. I’m actually using it with my SUN CELLULAR sim card right now and believe me, it’s one hell of a mobile internet + phone + ipod device.
