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. :-)

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!!!!

archie · 12 years ago

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.

kikomachine · 12 years ago

haha! ginusto mo yan tapos maaasar ka?

ley · 12 years ago

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

mayweather · 12 years ago

nasilaw sa specs. common yan these days.

archie · 12 years ago

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.

Thl w200s is better.

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.

cindy · 12 years ago

How is the quality? Matibay ba?

archie · 12 years ago

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

jimboy · 12 years ago

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.

Easy E · 12 years ago

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

_montz · 12 years ago

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 ..
