Philippine Cell Phones

An interesting update on the Inquirer website:

Globe Telecom will be among the first telecom operators in Asia to officially carry Apple’s popular iPhone handset.

A two-paragraph statement on Globe’s website said the mobile communications firm had signed an agreement with Apple along with Singapore’s Singtel, India’s Bharti Airtel and Australia’s Optus.

So looks like Globe’s going to be first.  How will Smart Philippines React?
