In a press gathering by Microsoft today, a number of mobile manufacturers showcased their latest handsets running Windows Mobile. Among the crowd is Filipino-branded phone maker Cherry Mobile showing the WinMo-powered Eclipse.
And yes, the Eclipse also has the Dual-SIM feature!
The Eclipse is a touchscreen smartphone with WiFi and even GPS. I didn’t get the full specs but we’ll update this once I get the specs sheet from them.
Cherry Mobile wants to get a real foothold in the smartphone market so it’s introducing the Cherry Eclipse at a very low price of Php9,999. It’s not yet available in stores but should be out very soon.
matibay ba yan? may mga supported application ba yan like java? baka naman nag hahang yan. kaya ba mag open ng application yan ng 5 apps and naka-run sa background gaya ng other smartphones sa market? nagsusupport ba ng SPB to? baka naman pamporma lang para masabing touch screen. wahaha! di naman yata to recognized sa winmo community eh. and i think pirated winmo 6.1 to. chinaphone ika nga.
Sa tingin ko ito ang pinaka magandang Phone sa Cherry Mobile, Yun ibang Cherry mobile na gawa kasi parang China Phone yun OS niya, Itong Eclipse maganda WM 6.5 pa. Eclipse ang gamit ko, Medyo matibay naman, At sobrang astig halos lahat nandito na tulad ng Microsoft Office, IE, Windows Media Player at Pwede ka pang manuod ng youtube. Search niyo sa Youtube may Post dun tungkol sa Reviews ng Eclipse, ang tittle “Cherry Mobile Eclipse”.
meron bang cherry mobile eclipse brand dito sa malaysia, para makagamit din ako at baka mas mura pa. yung ibang china made dito t80 at t90 pero di winmo
sir yuga yung samsung monte ko saka samsung wave made in korea hehehe… kaya kung papipiliin ako iphone na made in china wave na korea ang lau…. dko gusto gumawa mga instik
I owned a cherry mobile eclipse phone, it was sad because I return it after 2 days since bluttoth si nto working…I had lots of issues with it especially right now I am having a problem connecting to wifi at home,connected to the network but no internet access…kakainis talaga kasi di ko magamit sa bahay.at hindi xia java,so hindi ako makakaopen ng programs na java! ayaw ko naman ipa chekc kasi kukunin nila papadala sa manila tpaos more than 1 month aayusin…hai…
mas interesado ako sa trident and t90. But i heard there are a lot of issues regard wifi, triple sim capability. Etc. . .sino na nakagamit ng t90 or any tv phones. . .ok ba reception? Kesa china phone at least ito ntc approved. . .
@straw berry, i think you might not need adobe reader, as long as OS is micorosoft you may download other apps that converts html/office/pdf into an ebook file, and viola, you may download it in you phone. Much better speed performance when browsing pages by pages than a pdf file which hangs up if files are too big.
Guys,
I tried this phone yesterday. Windows 6.1 lng sya. Medyo luma pero overall this phone is ok. Tapos cheap nga sya.
Not so good stuff ng phone but the rest of the features are totally fine:
* camera image quality, lahat yata ng CM phone
* not so good ang touch screen, you need to use the stylus
* browser isn’t that great, IE pero i find it hard to use
Question ko lng is that, can I install my own apps here. I wanna start programming for Win Mobile. Pwede kaya ma tweak ko OS nito like you desktop?
Thanks guys…

Baka yung default Windows Mobile Office apps version ang nakita mo ?
Mine clearly says “Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional” under Settings > About

You can write apps designed for WM6.5, install and use them sa Eclipse. It is also possible to ‘tweak’ ROM modules/ phne settings provided you dump and cook yours. All other simple tweaking done via registry just like any other WinMo device.
Been using Eclipse since June 20, 2010. I find my screen responsive. Well, to each his own.
Shameless plug…

Wah ngayun ko lang nakita itong phone na ito. By the way where is the update for this review.
@duh,
it is not a pirated version of win mo.. FYI Microsoft Philippines teamed up with Cherry Mobile to come up with this phone, i own it and as long as you’re smart enough to do the tweaks and stuffs, you’ll find this phone more worth the price… it doesnt even lag… samsung corby lags more compared to this… very smooth yung scrolling… no java but theres no need for it, anong purpose ng OS nya?? duh.. install ka lang ng mga apps specially made for Win-mo.. Java is only for phones that dont have OS… pero if gusto mo talaga, you can install Java Bed…
malinaw po ba ang cam ng exlipse??
I want to own this mobile phone because i know it is the cheapest and lowest winmo phone in phone history.
This phone is very good rather than to buy a china made phone..
To all Filipino please support our own products..
Kaya tayo di umuunlad dahil tumatangkilik tayo ng gawa ng ibang bansa kesa sa gawa ng ating sariling bansa…
Dapat matuto tayong pahalagahan ang sariling atin..

nacoconvert poh ba ang eclipse sa android….???
..maaayos pba ng cherry mobile ang nasirang touch screen ng t60??
late ko na nakita tong blog na to. @duh: hindi basta nagbibigay ang microsoft ng license sa isang phone manufacturer kung hindi legit. isa lang ibig sabihin nyan. ang cherry mobile ay isang respetadong phone manufacturer hindi gaya ng iniisip mong pirata. as a windows mobile/ windows phone 7 enthusiast, wala ako masasabi sa performance nito
pwede ba yan downloadan ng SKYPE, OOVOO, at VOXER.,?? at magagamit ba siya ng hindi naghang at para sa mga video calls?? kasi parang maganda siya eh,. actually naghahanap ako ng new phone ngayon na affordable price na pwede yang mga applications na yan!!
i love this phone cherry mobile eclipse..and sarap gamitin.,..parang tablet talaga xa..na lahat andun na…super enjoy gamitin..
