I got this email from Cherry Mobile yesterday saying they’re offering all of their Android handsets and tablet at zero percent interest for 12 months. Though I thought that wasn’t really something big of a news, I went thru the poster and saw that the suggested retail prices of a lot of the handsets have also gone down.

I don’t know when they had the price cuts but I think that’s better news than the 12-month, zero-percent offer (but, in any case, should still be good news to some wants to get that Magnum HD at installment basis).

So, okay, some of the handsets are still priced the same (like the Cherry Mobile Cosmo which we are giving away here) but the prices on the Magnum HD and Superion have been adjusted to be more competitive with similar handsets and tablets in its category.

sa mga nag-sasabi na di mabuting brand ang cherry mobile, SA USER PO YAN NG CELLPHONE, HINDI SA PRODUKTO, meron naman yang warranty para palitan kung may problema, sigurado ba kayo nakabili na kayo? dahil kung nakabili nga kayo pinagpalit nyu na yung sira na wala kayong kinalaman tulad ng paghulog nito at hindi iinit ang ulo, mura nga to kesa ibang brand, pero medyo may presyo din kasi android at touch, kaya sigurado hindi lahat nakakabili at nanaginip lang at naninira

yung cherry mobile nung mom ko hindi naman nagkaproblema at 2 years na yun, nasira na yung nokia at yung samsung nya pa-ulit2x binabalik sa customer service, yung CM hindi pa

kahit iphone pa yan kung hindi naman mabuti ang pag-iingat masisira talaga yan, yung iphone4 nga isang hulog mo lang sira na talaga(oo classmate ko ganun nangyari)

Well, i haven’t encountered problems so far with my NOVA since i bought it last December. Brand ain’t that established but i still say that it has features na di ko mahanap sa iba like the capability of reading Microsoft Office documents,and some staff that i can’t find sa ibang brands except the luxury phones ofcourse.

Went to SM Cebu. Wanted to buy the MAGNUM. still OUT OF STOCK. Nobody knows when the next delivery arrives, nothing.

yugafan · 15 years ago

Went to SM Southmall last Saturday. Unfortunately the Magnum HD was already out of stock because of the 12 months payment scheme.

bought the orbit on the first orbit 50% off sale and the unit is really really bad sa firmware and sa hardware never ever bought a phone that doesn’t charge and has faulty firmware pag ka bili mo pa lang when the updated firmware came my unit is still defective buti na lang walang stock orbit so napalitan ng nova aka commtiva z71,mi300 etc. and another thing almost bought swapped my unit for a magnum hd but all the unit i tested touch screen parang may eng eng pag may screen protector XD if only magnum hd came with gorilla glass yun na nakuha ko pero mukhang gasgasin kaya napunta ako sa nova at chambahan talaga pag made in china lalo na yung mga oem ng cherry mukha kasing walang quality control ultimo yung orbit dapat bago i release tested na nila na walang bugs XD eh yung firmware pag uwi ko pa lang ng bahay kitang kita na yung battery issues hehe better save your money for branded phones nova will be my last phone from them malagay lang tatak pilipinas pero yung tinda nila lahat oem from china at hindi pa good quality XD

ung phone na nabili ko sa kanila, one week pa lang nagloko na agad. kaya pala 3 days lang waranty ng mga nasa stalls. dun ka pa papapuntahin sa main office nila. pagdating mo sa office nila para ipagawa ung phone mo, dun mo din marerealize na hindi ka nagiisa, MADAMI KAYO. kung maganda ung build quality ng nabili mo, congrats.

ano ba naman kayo? Syempre me dahilan kung bakit binababa ang presyo. At syempre maraming maakit sa murang presyo kumpara sa ibang brand. Gayunpaman maaring me makatyempo na yung nabili niya eh walang problema at maaring meron. Kaya dipende na lang sa bibili at mabibili. Ang pagiging praktikal eh dipende kung sulit ba yung binayad mo sa binili mo. Kung sa iba eh nagagawa naman nila yung gusto nila sa produktong ito eh malamang mura nga. Basta wag lang masira. Maaring mahal nga ang samsung galaxy tab pero mahal lang kung ang paggamit eh di naman Kapantay ng kayang gawin ng produkto. Kahit pareho specs ng hardware, hindi ibig sabihan pareho performance. Me science sa kabila ng pag disenyo ng paggamit ng hardware kasama pati software. Kaya da best or mas mainam i review ng magkasbay ang dalawang o higit pang produkto base sa baseline test na usual na ginagawa ng users.

This promo is great but unfortunately most CM concept stores here in davao doesn’t have any stocks available for Magnum HD. Anyone from Davao seen any stocks of Magnum HD? I really want to buy this android phone. I’ve already tried Victoria Plaza, Gaisano Mall and Gaisano South, none of them have stocks.. :(

raul barrios · 15 years ago

Is cherry mobile really a tested brand already?

Iyan Sommerset · 15 years ago

Omg, finally a decent tablet for less than 15k. My uncle has enjoyed his Superion for the better part of a year now, very comparable performance with my cousin’s Galaxy Tab. I only just barely notice a difference in WiFi speeds when using heavy apps like Gmaps.

Matt · 15 years ago

Anyone bought one to rate it? Im looking at getting a new cellphone but would like feedback on the quality of features, ease to use and battery life.

Cocopako · 15 years ago

Wag mo n balakin ang cm sasakit lng ulo mo, promise

ade · 15 years ago

Bought a CM Orbit during their first sale at ngayon sira na ang cam. Basta bigla nalang nag loko. Kung ako sa inyo guys, stay away from Cherry Mobile. Hindi talaga worth it.

CarloBlogg Online3.0 · 15 years ago

Wow, Magnum HD at P13,000? Halos ka price n nya ang Samsung Galaxy Ace, though spec-wise, Magnum is more powerful.
Cherry Mobile users, how about comments on your side? at par ba ang quality ng Cherry with the likes of Samsung or HTC?
Cherry Mobile, nakakaakit ang mga price-cut ha :D

brymarti · 15 years ago

14k po

CarloBlogg Online3.0 · 15 years ago

Ay oo nga 14k pla,sori my bad! :D

geogetski666 · 15 years ago

stay away from the magnum tried almost all the unit at sm north lahat ang hirap gamitin pag may screen protector at hindi gorilla glass yung screen XD pag walang screen protector ok naman pero pag meron mabwibwisit ka lang sa pag scroll XD hindi sumusunod pag nag flick ka ng finger sa screen XD
