@julia_ph - I quite don't agree with your last post lad   The plan I got from Smart is as follows:
Handset : Nokia 7610
Plan : Php 1.2K month/ "2" years!
Initial Cash Outlay : Php 2.7K, Php 1.5K for the handset, Php 1.2K advance payment for your monthly subscription (24th month)
Many are getting confused with Smart's promo As I look at their brochure, I browsed at it almost 5x to see where I can avail the cheapest deal  Actually my original plan is to get the SE K700i, where it also has the same olan with that of Nokia 7610, minus the initial cash outlay of Php 1.5K for the handset, but the stocks run-out on it's 2nd day of the promo 
Majority of the known handsets listed under plan 800/1200/1800 etc, which has a minimum subscription plan of '3 years' are as follows:
1. Nokia 6600
2. Nokia 7200
3. Nokia 6230
4. SE P900
5. PDAs (almost majority in general)
About your preference in choosing your local network provider, I guess this has been discussed since time immemorial That will just depend on the one who uses the fone  My first choice back in '95 was Smart (2 years), then I moved to Globe (6 years) and now I'm back with Smart (2yrs. - ?), because of the plan  What I only liked with that of Globe is their GPRS features, low download rates + in their traffic image update, one location (EDSA-Ayala) is for FREE! Though I haven't browsed Smart's in whole !

i'm currently a sun subscriber, (FYI: my very first network was globe, 1999, then switched to smart and i liked it since then) but after the contract, i'd switch to smart. i dont see any problems with the aftersales of smart.
pls dont ask me why i subscribe to sun if i liked smart's services... (we've also been loyal to digitel) |

not even for corporate employees it seems. where i work, an e-mail about globe's promo was initially circulated along w/ a list of phones including a p900. but when a later e-mail "corrected" this and gave a much shorter list of phones (no p900). true enough, when the globe reps came, di raw kasali p900. |

I went to SM Southmall last Sunday. I saw the ongoing promo of Globe, considering the space it's Business Center occupies in the said mall to that of Smart's, it's just a third in land area There are a few people queueing to purchase planned fone models but it did not reach and surpass the exterior demarcation line of the establishment  Meaning, the promo was not that succeessful 'compared' to Smart's As I have discussed some pertinent matters with that of Smart's sales personnel, they are very sure that a 'sequel promo' will be in the offing, when just keep your ears open mates , it may not be published in the dailies - again Hear ye hear ye . . . |

If they have a sequel promo and offer the P900 this time I would just DIE! Sana wag na lang i-offer para di sumakit loob ng mga di naka kuha ng P900!

@aquagirl - Who knows they will be offering the latest SE P910 and even the S700 next time around . . . . maybe before Christmas I also plan of getting me a P900 which eventually did not materialize, due to lack of supply . But honestly speaking, I am very much contended with the Nokia 7610 that I just got under contract . . . Just keep those ears open people |

For those who did not get the P900, the P910 is just around the corner. Then you can boast to the current P900 owners that you have a better screen and support for 1GB memory stick duos.
Feedback from the people who applied for Smart:
A week already passed and still not confirmation. Since so much people went for the promo, not all will get their applications approved. The people who applied for Globe had a better chance.

Globe people might have a better chance but their plans / promo offer is not as sulit as the Smart one. Besides, for me, Smart service and coverage is really better so even if Globe came out first, I would have waited for the Smart offer.
Anyway, here's praying that they don't reject us! How cruel! Naturally, they'll reject us AFTER the Globe promo has expired so that we would have no choice. I know of some people who applied for both Smart and Globe to double their chances, whoever replies first that's where she's going to sign up with.

About that queueing-up issue to get your documents approved , I guess it will just all depend on the kind of pertinent papers you have submitted with the local network I myself could not totally believe it that I got my unit in 4.5 hours - flat ! As long as you have a valid Driver's License, either a Mastercard or a VISA credit card, Billing statements either, PLDT or Meralco, and the most 'crucial' of them all, a Bank Statement/Passbook (the bigger the amount the better, they are just so assuring) Those were the only docs my Dad has submitted (my card was not accepted, so I use his ), in a jiffy, we are in! Some people even looked at us when we left the building, maybe imagining how we've done it so quick, while they are in line, almost half-day Also, we've applied for the credit-card 'push' - an automatic debit (monthly subscription) from your account - monthly!
So, we'll just be hearing for Smart's next move - mates  |

Well, she has her own CC, ITR and all the documents needed for the application on that Addict booth on its 2nd-3rd floor day at Shangri-la...
meh! it all got filed as "TBA"
On the brighter side, the 'last' SMART promo... i did get the same service... within 30mins... i got my unit and plan and off we go. Napuruhan lang siguro ngayon ang SMART.

Update! Smart called me na! Unfortunately I wasn't able to receive their call but at least it's reassuring that they're calling up the applicants na.
