Hi, I got mine from Globe. If you’re an existing globe user (and have no plans of switching networks), getting it from Globe is cheaper than other retail stores. I heard Samsung is selling it for 37k.

Exclusive lang ba talaga sa Globe ang Samsung Galaxy S?? How about the others who want to buy Samsung Galaxy S pero hindi sa Globe kundi sa Samsung mismo??? Kung ganyan rin lang naman, i’ll go for Samsung Wave na lang. Every mobile shop, e, available ang Samsung Wave. Affordable pa. Why not the Samsung Galaxy S???

September na. Magpapasko na, hindi pa rin lumalabas kahit saang mobile shop ang Samsung Galaxy. Next year pa yata nila irerelease yan, e. We don’t want to be released it only in Globe Telecom. Papano naman yung iba na other networks ang gamit & yet they want that phone??? Mahal pa naman pa-openline nyan & risky also.
Samsung Wave Rocks!!!

mas maganda talaga ang galaxy vs iphone, sa OS palang lamang na ang android kahit sa lumang OS ver. 2.1 lang, lalo na cguro kung maging Froyo. ang iphone ngayon pa lang sila nag multi task (limited only), tapos wala rin silang wi-fi teetering na katulad sa Galaxy S na meron kahit sa android 2.1 pa lang.. meron din live wall paper na wala sa iphone. with video call rin kahit saan phone puede, sa iphone limitado at nagwo-work lang ang video call sa iphone to iphone 4 pero sa wifi lang.

Strongly agree..hehehe
