But these lte dongles branded smart evolution still arn't available to the public.
Are they just doing this to make more money? because smart bro rockit is going to be useless in about 6 months when everyone wants to get the new smart evolution lte.
edit:
i suspect they done this because to compete in the '4g' market which actually isn't 4 g.. since hdspa+ isn't true 4g. Smart were planning to have the first 4g network with LTE, but then globe came out with tattoo lamborgheni and smart wanted to compete for that in market also.
Any way it's a total joke, they should be concentrating on upgrading all sites to LTE and getting Smart Evolution on the market. Their stupid "Launch" 6 months ago is tilting me, since the product isn't even available. I think I might launch my i9 cpu tommorow.. you guys can buy it in 2014 tho.
I hate philippines.
smart came out with the rocket to compete with the lambo stick,they wouldn't sit there and let globe have a monopoly on the 4g stick market while the LTE service is still in a testing phase, thats just bad business. there is a big difference between a public "launch" and a test "launch", smart never launched LTE service for the public nationwide, it was launched in Boracay for testing purposes. its not any different than google testing out their new fiber optic 1gb/sec internet but only at stanford university. LTE is supposedly to be released nationwide by the end of the year or early next year, so even when it does come out, rockets and lambo sticks will not be useless, they will just become more affordable for the general public, since most filipinos probably cant afford or will not want to pay the high price which undoubtedly will be associated with the LTE service when it is released. i.e. 112mb internet is available here but most people in PH are still using 2mb internet cause of the price.

how does you "having experience in almost all aspects of philippines living" correlate with pasting quotes only stating the bad things people have to say about PH? there are many more positive things about living in PH besides just easy girls.

poor girls looking to marry a "rich" foreigner and or scam them for their benefit,(greencard, money etc) is standard is SEA. 90% of girls on these online dating sites are these types of girl, along with many of the girls that try to dress like they have money and hangout at bars where expats frequent. i personally prefer to meet girls at places where people go to sharing a common interest, live music shows, art shows etc, i've met nothing but college educated girls that have good jobs and are financially independent. if you keeping looking in the trashcan all your gonna keep pulling out is trash.
