March 1, 2010 · Comments Off
I was in the tail end of nursing a fever when the doorbell rang and a messenger dropped off two Torque phones.

Nokia E72 for P17,400 and E52 for P12,700 from eBuyStore
February 17, 2010 · Comments Off
Sighted online: a reasonably-priced Nokia E72, and the lowest-priced Nokia E52 I’ve seen so far. Both are great buys even at their official SRPs in my opinion; pricing details and specs for both phones follow.
