Price Scheme of Iphone leaked!!!

[mah-vin]

I am not sure of this blog, but it looks quite authentic.
According to the blog, there was a leakage of a confidential
softbank document that contained details of the iphone's
pricing scheme.

The total price of Iphone is at a stunning 61,920 yen, spreading it over
24 monthly installments the monthly price is at 2,580 yen. However,
as in an softbank price plans there is a discount of 1,780 yen that you
can use as an allowance for your call charges. This leaves the price of
the phone at 800 yen per month or 19,200 for two years, which is
still below $200 as promised by Steve Jobs.

So are you still going to purchase it???

ang gulo naman niya.type ko pa naman yang iphone na yan.wala pa ba sa pinas yang iphone? kung$ 200 lang talaga yan bibili ako.i yen mo pa mura pa rin kz ang ganda ng mga features ng iphone..:)

[row_wena]

Kung 2,500 yen ang plan, hindi mahal iyon. :-) Magagamit din naman lalo na kapag malakas ka gumamit. I guess 800 yen/month is ok enough. =)

[scion_cho]

I should've... kaso kakaapply ko lang ng phone last May... mas mahal pa nga eh :cry:

BTW, as far as I know, Softbank's price plan only covers the subscription service. Kumbaga hiwalay ang bayad sa phone. So if the 'leaked' price is correct, then the minimum you should pay would be the "2,580yen" (parang libre lang ang softbank service).

to get the best out of a smartphone.. like push mail, etc.. internet browsing.. kailangan mo ng unlimited data plan.. plus the phone plus the softbank call plan.. that will set you 10k yen per month. para sulit..

Nyahaha :D, sabi na nga ba hindi ito lalayo sa price ng X-series ng Softbank Nokia eh. Ganun nga lang talaga makakamura pag 2years contract ka sa kanila at may unit kana after that 2years contract pero talo kung bibili ng Unit lang pala, Takai na...:( nakakapang hinayang ... :rant:Yun yung sinasabi nila na US$200 dollar pero dapat naka subscribe ka sa kanila ng 2years...:confused: Esep esep muna kung bibili pa ng unit or hindi na muna...

[cupnoodle]

sayang talaga kakakuha ko lang ng 920p last month. pwede pa kaya ibalik ung unit? gusto ko touch feel good este touch screen.

Eto TF family.. official na ito from Softbank
Kapag sumali ka sa Super-Bonus 24 month installment plans
eto yung magiging price na babayaran mo..

8GB Model -> Total Price = 69, 120
Monthly Fee 2880 yen
Discount 1920 yen
Actual iPhone price 960 yen X 24 = 20,340 yen

16GB Model -> Total Price = 80640 yen
Monthly Fee 3360 yen
Discount 1920 yen
Actual iPhone price 1440 yen X 24 = 34,560 yen

Tama nga si kuya Kikoy na para mas ma-enjoy talaga ang iphone
kailangan mo mag unlimited packet plan. Usually sa ibang smartphones
ang monthly fee is 9800 yen, pero for iphone ginawa nilang 5985 yen.
So i guess, they are really want you to apply for unlimited internet.

To buy or not to buy, that is the question:)

Hindi compulsary ang pagsali sa data/packet service.. Pero it is highly recommended na sumali ka doon.

I was looking at the fine print of the press release and I discovered two things.

First, the iphone requires a special Sim Card, so para doon sa mga Softbank users na nagiisip na magpalit ng cellphone nila kailangan palitan ang
mga SIM cards.

The other thing is that wala daw support ng S-Mail ang iphone. Ibig sabihin
ata hindi ka puwde mag send ng free e-mail sa kapwa softbank people.
(not so sure....) Please correct me if Im wrong..

[KikoyBalayon]

hullo everyone.. may english version na po siya.. eto link
http://www.softbankmobile.c o.jp/en/news/press/2008/20080623_01/

according to that one.. required yung flat rate as s! pack.. so that means 7k++ per month..

[KikoyBalayon]

[titakoring]

ewan ko ba ngaun.........kasi daw gawa ng SIMCARD na ang mga hontai
(unit) pdeng magamit pag na unlock na daw.......sabi nga mga nakakau-
sap ko iba na nga daw kapag kumuha ka ngaun ng cellphone (ketai)

nagkunsumo mong calls........

[infinite_trial]

reply po ni mah-vin yun sa japanese version ng news. di kasi malinaw dun. anyways, sa english version, yun nga 'required to subscribe' na.

[maytatsu]

makikisali talaga ako dito since seryosong usapin ito hahaha:D

anyways kausap ko lang kanina ang staff nila na yung unlimited na usage sa net which is 5th nga need talaga yun for the iphone so compulsory in short. so if white plan daw sya you need to pay like 900 a month plus the 2,500 for 24 months then the 5th net usage so basically around 8,400 month mmmm ninuninuni :)

[KikoyBalayon]

sa mga kukuha nyan.. siguro susulitin na lang yung unlimited internet.. halimbawa.. 24 hours nasa TF kahit saan ka sa tokyo pumunta.. hehehe..

taka ko lang kasi nung i confirm ko sana from our local sb shop dito sa nagoya last sunday, ang sabi hindi pa rin daw sila pwedeng makapagbigay ng detailed info regarding iphone. and they are stopping reservations. swerte ko lang kasi nasa top 10 ako sa listahan nila (pero i doubt i o honor nila yung reservation ko kasi this is one hot phone imho).

this is going to be my first phone here. so my question is, especially po sa mga matagal ng gumagamit ng cellphones dito sa japan, mahal po ba yung pricing nila?

yorushiku.
