The Cherry Mobile Cosmo has been enjoying a really nice position as one of the most affordable Android phones in the market at only Php6,899. I got one here given to me by Cherry Mobile so I thought it would be better if I just give it away to readers.
For an entry-level Android smartphone, the Cosmo actually has pretty decent specs (very similar to the HTC Hero, my very first Android phone 2 years ago).
In fact, at the price point of Php6,899, many folks consider this phone as a WiFi tethering device that’s a better alternative than the Php6k-worth Huawei E5. We listed the Cosmo in our round-up of cheapest Android phones under Php10k here.
Cherry Mobile Cosmo
3.2″ HVGA touchscreen @ 480×360 pixels
Qualcomm MSM 7227 600MHz
512MB ROM, 256MB RAM
up to 16GB via microSD (2GB included)
3G, HSDPA
2MP Camera
WiFi 802.11 b/g
Bluetooth 2.0
GPS
FM Radio
Android 2.2 Froyo
Cherry Mobile has also been busy doing local development (I am told they got Chinese engineers imported from the mainland just to do R&D and technical support as well as repairs) to get all their Android phones the latest update so it won’t be long until we see a Gingerbread update on the Cosmo too.
The CM Cosmo would be ideal to those who just want to have a first taste at Android or for people who love rooting their Android phone and tinkering around with a custom ROM without fear of bricking an expensive handset (though I don’t think you can even brick it that way).
In any case, I’d like to give this smartphone to someone who deserves it. So here’s your chance to own the Cherry Mobile Cosmo for free.
Just follow this simple steps:
1) With your best, creative wit, finish this sentence — “I want that Cherry Mobile Cosmo so I can …”
2) Include this link http://yugatech.ph/iwantacosmo and post in your Plurk, Twitter, FB or Goolge+ account.
3) Leave a comment below with the link to your post. Make sure we can see and read it publicly (otherwise, post your answer in the comments as well).
We’ll pick a bunch of really witty or funny entries and then randomly select one winner. That’s it! We’ll pick our winner on August 7, 2011.
I want that Cherry Mobile Cosmo so I can enjoy the triple treat of (1) owning my first-ever Android smartphone (2) for free (3) at the ripe gorgeous age of 46. They say things that come in threes are most memorable so Yuga, please give me that Cherry Mobile Cosmo before I turn 50. :) You know I deserve it. :)

I want that Cherry Mobile Cosmo so C can get rid off my old symbian phone and C can use a Pinoy-made phone with Android OS. Switching to a new OS and exploring it as well would definitely be great. Proud to be Pinoy!

I definitely need that Cherry Mobile Cosmo para naman mas maganda yung phone na ma-snatch sa akin ni manong mandudukot, nakakahiya naman kasi eh. Yung phone na nanakaw sakin last June eh isang pipichuging China phone na touchscreen pero may malaking lamat na yung screen. Kawawa naman si kuya baka hindi pa niya na benta yun.
Every since that incident, isang family heirloom phone na ginagamit ko na dapat ay nilalagay na sa museum at hindi na dapat ginagamit.
I also want that Cherry Mobile Cosmo kasi hindi pa ako nakatikim ng Android sa talambuhay ko.
