Got info ’bout the battery life, Sir Abe?

pero since wala namang gigabyte dito, okay na din to.

I think ok itong Cherry Mobile Orbit, I’ll buy one on May 19.

Mag nokia 3310 n lang ako kesa mag cherry mobile. Peace!

will definitely get one

Specs wise on the price of the sale its better than the Dual Sim android phones of Torque.

But still, the final verdict is that….IF YOU DO NOT NEED DUAL SIM just buy a Samsung or LG entry level android.

Just going to the official fanpage of Cherry Mobile you will definitely think twice before buying. With all of the bomnbards of fail after sales service are signs that they flop in after sales service including me having a cherry mobile P3 serviced now FOR MORE THAN 3 months.

They are like the CD-R King for cellphones for me.

Only Cherry Mobile Concept Stores hmm?

Naku… mukhang Laking Gulo nanaman ito….

Since they didn’t put a time limit, I think they’ll follow the Cebu Pacific model of seat sales and have only a limited number of phones at 50% off. Once they’re all gone, the remaining stock is full price. XD

gudluck!!!

bad battery

bad hardware

bad after sales!!!!

cherry has bad quality? then why settle for it? If one wants to buy android phones, then one should invest in the good kinds.

Meh. Passed by SM City North EDSA a few hours ago to snag one. Turns out they were just getting reservations (for 1k a pop!) for the Orbit which will be available “next week”… Remembering what I’ve read about the quality of their after-sales service, I decided it wasn’t worth the trouble. Not looking forward to weeks and weeks of following up for the unit to be available.

this is my personal experience with the cherry orbit:

may 19 2011: at around 1pm i bought my cherry orbit at the cherry kiosk in robinsons ermita. it is priced at P6,499 with free globe sim. it only took me 5 mins to test and complete the sale.

i used the unit for the next couple of hours until the low battery warning appeared at about 7pm.. charged it for about 3 hours as stated by the sales rep then after charging i already tinkered with the orbit..after 1 hr i’ve noticed that it consumes quite bit of energy, then i put it to sleep.

may 20 2011: the orbit started its day at 9:00am
text a few people, most of the day the orbit was on stand by, it got low about at about 7pm..after 30-40 text messages sent, 30-40 received text messages and atleast 10 hours of stand by time..i’ve charged by that time and then did my chores..after 3 hours i’ve check th e orbit and its still charging, so left it and did something else..on the 4th hour checked it again and its still charging, then came the 5th and 6th hour and its still charging, this made me get worried since this is the first time in last couple of years that i’ve charge a cellphone that long and yet it has reached it peak..then came the 7th hour, its already 1:45am of may 21, 2011..i pulled the plug even if its still charging and used the orbit for wifi browsing for atleast 20 mins..then put it to sleep.

may 21, 2011: the orbit started the day at 9:20am with 96% battery life..i’ve downloaded battery doctor and advance task manager from the android shop to help improve the battery performance of the orbit..sad to say it did little help..even if you kill most of the apps that were running at the background, some of them manage to start up again like the clock, weather, people apps..most of the am and afternoon, the orbit was just on stand by mode..as of now 10:30 pm i’ve sent atleast 8 text messages, received 10 text messages, less that 2 minutes of call time, 30 mins of wifi browsing time and atleast 13 hrs of stand by time..my orbit’s battery life 30%..how pathetic!!

you do the math..this is one of the worst phones in the market today in terms of battery life performance!!

i’ve learned my lesson well, that is “NEVER TO BUY ANY CHERRY PRODUCT AGAIN, EVEN IF THEY SELL IT AT 90% DISCOUNT!!”

I’ve tried almost all kinds of phones already, all I can say is that, this cherry mobile orbit is the worst when it comes to battery life, the speaker is also just murmuring, can’t even hear my favorite music without using the earphone. my housemates are all laughing at me, since their phone’s speaker sounds very loud. the 5mp camera is no use. my husband’s 3.2 mp nokia e52 is better. and the sensor gets me mad everytime i want to use it. bad trip everytime i want to use it, i want to trade in my cherry mobile orbit kahit 5,000 k na lang. ayaw ko ibenta sa office, masisira lang ako. nagbenta ng walang kuwentang cellphone, sana nakinig na lang ako sa kaopisina ko, bumili na lang ako dapat ng samsung galaxy mini, konti lang diprensiya. sising sisi ako, dapat di ko kinagat yung 50% off. naghintay sana muna ako ng reviews, comments. di na uli ako magpapaloko. WAG NA KAYONG BUMILI, walang kuwenta. nong punta ako SM Manila para bili sana ng case, suplada pa ang tindera sa kioks nila, ask ko kung may case para sa cherry mobile orbit, sumagot ng wala, di man lang tumingin. hayup talaga. bastos.

Cherry phones are easy to use. It combines the Nokia and Samsung OS and patterns. But it costs much to have it repaired coz parts are not available except at Cherry repair centers. For lcd of M33 w/c costs P2,300 you spend P1,300.00. Not practical compared to LCDs of brand phones costing P600 to P900.

To those still interested, just found this in another blog:
