“I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it.”

This photo pretty much sums up two key features about SmartNet. If you’re subscribed to Netphone services, (1) you’re always connected to SMART’s data network. The way they charge for this is very different from all their other data plans (volume based and time based). In this case, (2) you can see the current running balance if you’re on postpaid and your current remaining load balance if you’re on prepaid. By default, this solves a lot of customer support issues because you will always be aware of your usage. No more surprises.
HERE: For the past several hours I’ve been online with only PHP 1.00 of load. On Facebook. On Twitter. On SmartNet’s own global directory. On chat. And this is really one of the best ways to explain the synergy between the phone and the cost of services tied to it.
There’s no other service in this country that lets you keep a PHP 1.00 balance while letting you do all these great things on the Internet. The Netphone line from SMART will come with its own super-low pricing schemes for data. Abangan. September 1.

Thinking there’s a different APN that this goes through. Not sure if it’s still under wraps, but will they also launch these services as apps on existing Androids?
anyone have it already? the phone looks familiar to an HTC.. rooting it should be possible
it’s a ZTE Blade but if you root it, you’ll most likely lose access to the cheaper data rate charges.
