3G should be available by next year from *bleep*..
EDGE is already available from Smart, and I think PLDT WeRoam piggybacks onto this network as well.
Personally, I wouldn't get a 3G phone just yet. If you want one or like one that's already out, go ahead. This is just my choice. No 3G phone has all the features of the P-series yet, so I'm waiting. I wouldn't be able to use the video call capbilities anyway since none of my friends (whom I wanna see anyway) are on 3G, so for me... 3G is useless... and I'd still rather surf via WiFi.

Globesolutions is offering Unlimited GPRS for P1,700k a month (Plus a one time registration fee of 2k). This service competes with PLDT's WeRoam.
They're issuing
GC79 cards which includes WiFi and GPRS in the same card - great for older lappies without internal WiFi.
For info, call 219 on your globe HP or 790-1999 on a landline.
Tip: the GC79 doesn't support EDGE/EGPRS. if you like better performance, try to get your hands on an GC83 card.
Hmmm .... choices, choices.
Would you sacrfice bandwith (xDSL/cable) for mobility (e/gprs)?

Why use EDGE if 3G is now available from Broadband Philippines through their EVDO service.... the service is even cheaper than Globesolutions or WeRoam but is only available in 70% of MetroManila by the endof October.

They are still in the testing stage as demonstrated during the ad congress but I don't think its commercially available yet.
