Revealed back in September, the BlackBerry Curve 9360 and the Torch 9860 has yet to be officially released in the Philippines. However, the handsets have already been spotted in eBay.ph earlier this week.
The listing seems legit but we’re not recommending it yet. The prices though are expectedly reasonable and should give us a fair estimate of the suggested retail price once they are out.
