Spotted on the store shelves of InfoMax in MegaMall is a box of a brand new Nokia N900 phone. Though the rumored launch date of the N900 in the Philippines is still in March, the store had 1 of the 2 units sold already since late December.
The price of the remaining unit is a staggering Php48,000 and the store clerk says it does not come with any microSD card so you’ll have to shell a couple thousand pesos more for that.

3.5″ display (800×480 pixels) with resistive touchscreen
1GB of app memory (256 MB RAM, 768 MB virtual memory)
