People will blame low iPhone sales in the Philippines on the phone price but that’s won’t be the problem. The fact is most Filipinos find a way to afford something if they really want it. The problem lies in texting!

Filipinos are notorious for text. After all the Philippines is the text message capital of the world. Most Filipinos can and do text without looking at their phone. They can’t stop texting whether it’s while driving, sitting in class, standing at work or even scratching their back using their phone and texting at the same time!

You can’t text without looking at the phone using a touch screen! This is one of the reasons people in the Philippines prefer Nokia so much over the razor. It’s all about buttons and being able to feel the keys you are pressing. Hence the iPhone will be more i and less phone for the people that do actually buy one!

1 week away!

It didn’t look this big in the commercials

I took these pictures as I passed the Apple Store on Prince Street this morning. My sneaker head instincts told me to drop a chair and start the line to buy one next week. Then I remembered iPhone isn’t a limited pair of AF1′S. I can wait! haha
