Looks like an HSPA+ capable pocket WiFi is now available in the grey market — we spotted one a week ago over at TPC, a ZTE MF60 4G, selling for Php7,500.
The device works the same as the old portable WiFi devices, only that this model supports the new HSPA+ network from both Globe and Smart — and as such has the possibility to reach the 10Mbps or 12Mbps downlink speeds of the telco.

The Php7,500 is practically the same price point a year ago for the Huawei MiFi, when it was still un-officially released in the country {via}. This also supports our earlier claim why the HSPA+ Smart Bro Rocket is priced at Php3,995.
Note though that this device is openline and might work with Globe’s HSPA+ to give you up to 10Mbps. However, it might not get you up to 12Mbps on Smart’s HSPA+ unless you use the special Smart Bro Rocket SIM (I have to verify this though).
Where can you buy this po????
Sa TPC daw may nagbebenta.
