Apple has signed deals with four major telecommunication companies in four countries to help the company surpass its iPhone sales goal of 10 million units by the end of 2008.
Singapore’s SingTel, India’s Bharti Airtel, Phillipines’ Globe Telecom, and Australia’s Optus, will begin carrying the iPhone “later this year.” But Globe Telecom had already made an announcement.
Yes, you read that right my patient ones. Globe Telecom announced in its web site that they already have signed an agreement with Apple to bring the iPhone to the Philippines.
According to Globe, the iPhone may be launched locally starting September this year. However, bringing the iPhone to Asia may require a different service provider infrastructure being used by that in the US.
So it is safe to assume that the model would be a new 3G-enabled one, since 3G is the new industry standard for this part of the world.
It combines all the revolutionary features of iPhone with 3G networking, built-in GPS, and iPhone 2.0 software. “We are very excited to be working with Apple to bring Filipino consumers iPhone 3G later this year,” said Gerardo C. Ablaza, Jr. president and CEO of Globe Telecom.
Good news for you patient ones still waiting for its official launch. Bad news for those who couldn’t wait and bought other brands.
So let us begin the countdown!
