All I Want For Christmas Is an iPhone

Apple iPhoneAll 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. :P ;)
