Cherry Mobile Eclipse: Cheapest WiMo Phone

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.

    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

    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..

    @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…

    @ MelodyMan
    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…

    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…

    @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.
