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).

I want that Cherry Mobile Cosmo so I can constantly be informed. I think this is the problem with the ano e, with the cellphone I’m using as well. For example, my N**** phone, it shouldn’t already block my texts. Wala, kasi tignan mo o, who will text me? Who will text me? Really?? Did you guys even text me?? E sino ba yung mga nandon site na yon? Did anyone text… wala e, nobody even called, nobody informed, it’s like people were waiting for somebody to just do that. Bakit ako?! Dapat iinform, iinform, I should have been informed, yun lang yon!

Hate to rain on people’s parade, but the CM Cosmo isn’t Pinoy made — only Pinoy [re]branded. OEM is a Chinese company called Cellon. Just in case some are interested in getting their facts straight.
Really hoping to win this one.
