  1. mga corning gorilla talaga tong mga taga cm pantapat nyo sa mi yan? non removable bat ampupu


  2. good phone .. well-balanced specs .. 2,300mah battery is good because it only sports a HD display .. para to sa mga taong mas gusto ang mga local brands .. although mas gusto ko ang Mi3 kesa dito .. hehe .. very nice phone by the way ..


  3. Go for mi3 nalang or wait for the lenovo golden warrior, mahal magpresyo ng cm. dapat nasa 6k lang yan.


  4. I think they are also trying to tap into the middle class. Anlaki na rin siguro nang nagagastos nila sa advertising with Aquino and Curtis.


    • Parang Selecta Magnum: 50 petot ang isa pero lasang dirty ice cream din.


  5. Add P1,600 and you got Mi3 or you could wait for Huawei, Lenovo, or ZTE’s Nubia line. If CM and Myphone still want to give reasonable price, cut their overhead expenses or liitan na lang nila ang mga booth nila tulad ng sa Alcatel. They’re walking the path of O+, Torque and SKK.


  6. sana improve nila durability ng phone nila kasi CM loyal user ako ng phone pero 7 sa mga naging phone ko na cherry apat defect! anung klaseng quality meron sa mga phone na yan? then yung bago lang na binili ko omega xl sira naman ang autofocus! kaasar!!!!


    • 4 out of 7 CM phones mo ang sira? Hindi ka pa natauhan, bumili ka pa ulit sa kanila? Pinapataba mo lang ang wallet nila sa pagiging loyal mo. Hardcore ka dude.


    • haha! ginusto mo yan tapos maaasar ka?


    • i’m thinking na kahit sa ibang local brand ganun din ang problem ng mga units, may mga defect din ang ibang units nila at nakabase kasi ako sa top 10 brand na common na ginagamit dito sa pinas! pero sa nangyari sa akin na nakapurchase ako ng cherry mobile omega yan na yung pinaka last na unit na magagamit ko from them. sayang lang ang pera so better to switch brand pls give me any idea anung brand ang maganda


    • nasilaw sa specs. common yan these days.


    • You can redeem yourself by not patronizing them. Rule of the thumb sa gadgets: Isang sira lang sa isang brand (yung sira na hindi mo fault) at wag ka nang uulit bumili. Magtaka ka rin kung sobrang mura ang gadget na bibilhin mo.

      Sa Korea at Japan, alagang alaga nila sa quality control ang mga products nila sa sariling bansa. Once na nakitaan sila ng mali ng mga kababayan nila, tambak na bad review at lawsuits kaagad ang katapat. Hindi uso sa kanila ang product loyalty dahil quality over money ang laging priority sa market nila.


  7. I’m not a fan of CM. but I bought a CM Flare last year because I needed a cheap secondary phone. More than a year, it’s still working as of today. Needed a cheap tablet with call functionality, so I bought CM Superion odyssey. It’s still working perfectly as of now. Suwerte lang kaya talaga ako? :-)

    BTW, My main phone is Xperia Z. Used Samsung before the Z. I prefer branded phones because of supposedly “durability”. I just needed cheaper alternative that’s why I tried CM. Never had a bad experience so far. :-)


  8. bought magnum s 3 pa lang na low bat ayaw na mag operate need to bring it sa tech center nila less than 3 weeks pa lang nagagamit.


  9. yes good phone but 18 megpixel camera and only 1 GB of RAM?


  10. Excelent phone i have it and i liked very much


  11. i like to buy this phone and with your post i decide that i am gonna buy it, its seems to be a good phone
