    The post says 2.4:

    It’s also surprisingly cheap. I thought it was going for more than 20k from the initial reviews (though that was months ago).

  2. wow! Nice specs!!!

  3. Boss Calvin, will you know if they will offer the same discount on credit card purchase?

  4. wow! it’s cheaper than I thought. kala ko mga nasa 25k+ ang price nya. and medyo madami din selection ng games. tempting pero still waiting for xperia mini pro. :(
