I’ve previously noted the existence of a Globe rewards program (a.k.a. “Globe for Good”… that sounds kind’a ominous) that plan subscribers can avail of, trading their accumulated virtual cash for phones or other freebies.

Here are the prices of the phones that Globe is offering under this program:

UNIT			PRICE

Nokia 9500 		P45,000
Nokia 9300		P39,000
Nokia 6680 		P33,500
Nokia 6630		P23,000
Nokia 3230 		P22,500
Nokia 6230i		P20,000
Nokia 6610i		P6,300
Nokia 2600		P6,000
Sony Ericsson Z800i	P35,000
Sony Ericsson P910i	P32,000
Sony Ericsson W800i	P27,300
Sony Ericsson K750i	P23,500
Sony Ericsson K300i	P8,700
Treo 650			P40,000
XDA IIi			P45,000
XDA mini			P36,500
Motorola Razr V3		P21,000
Motorola C651		P6,300

Prices are subject to change without notice (as always).

So yes, the noted prices may be steep compared to street prices, but hey, if you can avail of them without much cash outlay, why not? For most loyal plan subscribers, this would mean one or two low-end phones — the Nokia 6610i, the Nokia 2600, the Sony Ericsson K300i, or the Motorola C651. Or they could pitch in some hard cash as well to move up.
