Cherry Mobile taps Ainol for cheap ICS tablets

A number of readers have pointed out to me last week that Cherry Mobile is already selling what could be a co-branded Ainol Paladin tablet so I confirmed it with the folks from CM if this as indeed true.

We posted our review of the Ainol Paladin here back in January which was a huge hit for being the first ICS-powered tablet in the Philippines. That, plus the fact that it was really very affordable at Php5,800.

Cherry Mobile’s official statement was that “Ainol is an exclusive ODM Partner” (Official Device Manufacturer). This means CM can actually carry any or all of the tablets that’s being manufactured by Ainol. That also means you get local warranty and support service for those units as well.

I was also surprised that Cherry Mobile is doing a sale on this unit and priced it at only Php4,999.

Check out the poster above for details of this sale (along with all other Android devices from CM).

    I really don’t like Cherry Mobile as well based on experience. I bought a Cherry Mobile Stellar and it’s battery life was ridiculously short. I think mine was an isolated case since other reviews said that the battery life of it was adequate. Anyway, it’s in the service center right now and it’s been 3 weeks already because the USB port got REMOVED and I gotta pay P600 for a part that costs P50 (due to the labor costs). I really would discourage anyone from buying CM except for their really basic cheap phones but for something more high-end, I suggest just pass on it.

      I don’t like CM also. I have a CherryPad Turbo. When I saw the specs, I was impressed. But when I got it, Oh my God. The battery life is only 3hrs. even though the batt is Lithium Polymer 3500 mAh. and then, nasira ung speaker, ayaw nung wifi, etc. Pinaayos namin sa Service Center. May dent daw. (moist sa loob ng unit) Sinisingil pa kami ng Php660… Eh 1 Yr. nga ung free warranty ee.
