Lenovo P700 is Dual SIM, runs Ice Cream Sandwich, 4-inch screen, sells for PHP 10,999

EDIT II: Lenovo has officially announced the P700i which will also sell for PHP 10,999.00

EDIT: If you want a 5″ Lenovo phablet that competes with the Samsung Galaxy Note, the new Lenovo S880 sells for PHP14,999 only. It’s also dual SIM!
