Two giant local telco companies, Smart Communications and Globe Telecom, have just launched the iPhone 4s here in the Philippines. Obviously, Globe isn’t the only telco here which exclusively distributes iPhones anymore so many fan boys are so excited to get a hold of one of these beauties for an expected lowered pricing due to the clash of these telcos.
So, without further formalities and before i fly and look for some morgan silver dollars for sale, here are the official pricing for Smart iPhone 4s and Globe iPhone 4s:

As you may have noticed, Smart kits are way cheaper than what Globe offers (for some strange reason). Is this Globe’s own marketing strategy to lure its clients to sign up for their post-paid plans?
