iPhone 3G has printed NTC Approval and Logo instead of sticker

All mobile phones coming into the Philippines require inspection and approval from the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC). Ever since this policy was approved, each and every phone inspected bears the NTC logo and sticker within it.

Because most phones have replaceable batteries, the stickers are usually hidden within the battery compartment. But the iPhone has no replaceable battery, and thus, no removable cover to hide the unsightly sticker.

Fortunately, all has been solved! Apple, Globe, or the NTC, or all of them have prevented a potentially ugly problem and actually came up with a tasteful solution...
