Cherry Mobile’s Trident plagued with problems

Lam nyo naman mga Quality nyan..Bili pa kayo ng Bili… tsk tsk

Namamahalan pa rin kasi ako kahit pa trisim at “loaded” with features tong phone na to. Gusto ko sana bilhin kasi tamang tama sa sim usage ko. Pero wala pa rin kasi akong tiwala sa mga China phones. Kaya bumili na lang ako ng pinakamura na dual sim phone. Cherry Mobile F10 is cheap and feels cheap but I am a cheapskate.LOL All I need from a phone is its call/text/radio capabilities with long battery life. Has to be a dual sim though.

Buti na lang pala hindi nako nagipon para sa Trident. Okay din naman ung F10. It serves its purpose for me and at a reasonable price.^_^

Wow.. that’s really showing of Cherry’s Q.A. procedure.

the QA testing only defaults to 2 sims, not 3 sims. that’s why they missed out the 3rd sim.

and why the wifi do not work? The customer paid for it.

I think you’re talking about the topic on TipidCP.

Anyway based on what I have read, flawless naman yung operation ng Trident, Q3, etc. with regards to other features (Wi-Fi, TV, FM, Music Player, Trackpad, etc.).

Ang problem, nasa main feature ng phone. Yung main feature pa. So lumelevel up na ang Cherry Mobile, pati Apple tinatalo.

@Angie,

I think you’re just a CSR of that blistered company. Cherry Mobile sucks big time, so don’t try to put some sophism in your comment, you tool.

My brother bought Q300 also and luckily, he didn’t have any problems… now my brother enjoys using his phone with TV, WiFi and Triple Active SIM working =)

the good side:
* The phone is light (i thought its heavy because the size looks like Nokia E72)
* You can surf the net using the default browser or Opera.
* It has google maps and other java applications
* The keys are responsive
* Aside from TV viewing, you can also record your favorite local channels and FM stations (quality depends on signal)
* Its CHEAP!
* Battery last long also… good for 3 days
* Audio jack is generic… (not sure yet)

the bad side:
* with bluetooth, wifi, and 3 active sim signals… im afraid that your balls will gonna be fried! hahaha!
* medyo nakakapanibago yung touch key navigation but you’ll get use to it…
* you get what you pay for… camera is lame maski may flash… so don’t expect to much!

in the end… if you love this phone… then buy it… if not… then buy it! coz with 3 sim active, wifi, tv, player… it’s definitely a bargain! I’m planning to buy one =)

ang daming nag cocoment na maganda ang features ng mga naglalabasan ng mga local brand phones/gadgets na made in china naman, dami nga problema..

isa pang error nyan na nakita ko sa ibang forum site.. pag nilagyan ng malaking memory at nag wifi ka… may message na “memory full”

kaya hirap mag tiwala pag hindi talaga made in the philippines.. finish materials na china made na mga piyesa then aasemble na lang dito

gaya ng red fox, torque, cherry and myphone!!!!!!!!!!

bad ang after sales nila… basta makabenta lang wala nang paki kahit masira pa binili mo………

mas matibay pa ata 3210 dito

@ mr. bogus

Sir, wala nang mas titibay pa sa 3210 :) with the possible exception of the original 6110 (chameleon!)

hehe! Cherry….LEMONS….pati Appple na rin now.

may be not a bumper can solve the problem, it can be solve by replacing with 3 separated units.

Buti na lang na-open mo issue na, kasi I’m also planning to buy this phone. Anyway, hope they would fix this problem.

Birth pains I guess. It’s a good thing Cherry Mobile was quick to respond with a fix.

So much for comments saying “Take that, other fruit phone! Cherry Rules!’ Appearance may rule and tri sim concept but if it’s so buggy forget it!

+1 for Jhay. Although for any development process, there’s what we call prototyping. If ever prototype1 presented bugs/problems, the company should be able to come up with prototype2, 3, 4… That’s how they would prevent birth defects/pains.

Cases like iPhone 4’s antenna gate problem, Cherry Trident’s tri-sim bug and many others, is because of the development team’s lack of *exploration* on the prototypes (if they even produced prototypes).

We’re not sure how the whole development process is happening on Nokia, RIM, Apple or even small time players like Cherry, myPhone, etc. But small or big, it’s everyone’s responsibility to make sure they produce quality products.

Kung CSR lang ako baka naano na kita eh. Do you even know that CSR means Customer Service Representative? Hindi sila ang gumagawa ng kapalpakan sa mga product na binibili from the company they work for. Nasasabihan sila minsan ng bobo ng customers, kasi limited yung information na binibigay sa kanila ng company nila. Di natin maiiwasan ang pagiging bias nila sa company nila pero, di porket may taong nagsabi ng maganda about the product, empleyado na agad ng company. And oh, spare me from your thoughts na baka CSR ako.

Mga tipo mo yung taong MEMA. Me Masabi at Me Mapagbintangan lang. Bawasan mo yan, wala kang patutunguhan sa buhay niyan.

as what they say: YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

@Manong that was witty! hahahaha. i love reading comments.

Hi,

Do you already have the review unit of the phone? How was it? Are the problems fixed already?

I was actually surprised that even these China Phones have *software updates*! Nakakatakot pa bumili kasi madaming sims, baka mas mataas yung SAR levels na nag ccause ng cancer. :( Kelan kaya sila magkakaroon ng 3G dual sim like Verzio’s. Tska pare pareho lang sila ng Apple, nagongopya ng technologies from other inventors like Nokia.

i own a torque triple sim fone.. the trinity as they call it. i like it. it works perfectly well.. even the wifi works as i want it. the tv is clear and so is the audio. i never regret getting myself one.!

I bought my trident a week ago. nung bumibili ako sa SM, yung first unit na test ko nagkakaproblem sa touch pad. ayaw magrespond. tagal ko nga try ung unit. kala ata nung salesperson di ako bibili. e kahit naman mura syempre gusto mo sigurado yung binibili mo lalo na kung not branded. sayang din naman yung 6.5k kung lemon mabili mo. Anyway, ok naman yung second unit na test ko kaya binili ko na din. all features functioning. nilagyan ko ng 1 GB na memory. yung sa internet using wifi nagkakaproblem pag ginagamit ko yung browser nya kasi pag medyo naka 5 (or less pa ata) sites ka na lalabas “memory full”. ewan ko, bakit nga ba?? pero nung ginamit ko yung sa Java na Opera Mini, ok naman sya kahit makailang sites ka di nagmmemory full at mabilis pa ang connection.
yung battery life nya, depende siguro sa gumagamit. mga 2 days naman yung battery sakin. lagi ko kasi ginagamit text at calls. may kasama naman sya extra battery kaya if you sum it up e di 4 hours na din :D
yung picture nya pwede na kung di ka maselan. tagal lang dapat ang pose kasi pag shoot nya kailangan wag muna gagalaw yung subject ng mga 3 seconds kasi pag gumalaw kamay mo o yung subject blurred na sya. literally pang still photo sya. :D
ok na sakin to as long as walang, maging problema trident ko. hopefully tumagal sya kahit 2 years man lang.

thanks for your comments. im having a second thought of buyig trident phone talaga. but with your review… thanks mabe i’ll save money first and bu samsng wave instead. so anyone there who bought samsung wave/… pls send me your opinion atmy email ad. samsha****@****.***
