Salamat!

i have been using my inertia for about 2 months, so far so good when it comes to the performance, i like also d battery life, i could usually use the phone for about 1 or 2 days pg di nmn masyado ginagamit for the calls… Its true, that if you will buy a cheap unit, definitely dont ask for anything more kc nga CHEAP mo sya binili, well, it depends naman kc s gumagamit ng fone kung magtatagal sya, end is, its for you to find out out… CIAO…
Good blogsite Yuga, very informative specially for us na mahilig s gadget thing, ahehehe..

cherry mobile phones being sold at memo express.

OT – fyi, i have a SE C905 at almost 1 month nang nasa service center at 6 months nang labas-pasok sa service center. kaya wag nyo masyadong palakpakan ang mga branded. they are all electronic gadgets na pare-parehong may Ups and Downs.

cherry mobile,

it’s a chinaphone, nakakita na ako nyan,

ang OS niya ay parang sa samsung softbank, pero hindi maganda ang quality ng camera,

useful talaga ito sa mga nage-load…

MYPHONE/CHERRY MOBILE are china phone which is not worth it to buy…sayang lng 6000/5000 mo kung bibili ka ng ganitong brand…

go for branded phones nalang…

I bought the M35 last month and so far, I have not encountered any major problems with this phone. OS nito is comparable to Sony Ericsson’s. Madaling gamitin yung phone, maganda yung display nito at clear pa yung reception. And I can watch my favorite TV programs (OTA) anywhere pa! Sawa na rin ako sa mga Nokia, SE, Samsung, and LG phones, and I want to keep just one phone for my two sims, kaya I decided to buy this for a change naman. I Never expected na ganito kaganda ang build quality and performance ng phone.Sulit na sulit sa 5,990 nyo.

Does anyone know how this thing will work? thanks in advance for the help.

These phones are not good, poor quality. They are china phones imported by the company who brought cherry qq cars. Medyo sirain at kulang ang service centers. Kaya nga mura. Cheap phones.

Buy the branded phones instead, wala pa sakit ng ulo. I bought the Cherry D20 phones. 5 days pa lang, sira na ang camera at bluetooth. May lumalabas na error. I should demand a replacement of the unit.

Looks like a KIRF! I bet OS is proprietary at best with a horrible battery life. Wouldn’t really trust those as a primary phone.

The Cherry mobile phone is being sold at E-hub located in Park Square, Glorietta, Makati. I think I mentioned this in my earlier comment. :)

Sana nga okay din yung brand na ‘to…

Chery Car Cherry Cellphone

i would like to share my experience in using china phone.

i bought my old phone way back 2008 and during those time… all i can say to my tv phone is that… im very satisfied with it (kasi may tv))

BUT! after3 months… battery drains so fast! worst thing is that, it will take me 5 hours to charge my phone and you can only use it around 2-3 hours… with or without using it! (maski naka off nagdradrain pa rin) i tried power saving settings (lessen backlight, remove vibrate, remove tones, bluetooth off) but still… it drains so fast!

im also afraid of the phone signal if it meet the standards (NTC) because it emits too much signal/frequency… im so terrified! i dont know if this device will burn my testicles! wahaha!

so for safe players… stick to branded phones… but for the risk takers… its all up to you :)

Pwede namna siyang isali sa Postpaid offers ng Globe, Sun, and Smart.

Sun actually offers MyPhone Dual Sim phones sa postpaid subscriptions nila. The other sim is sun-locked while the other is openline.

Looks nice! Super mura pa, below P5,000 pa lahat. However, I have some drawback buying these kinds of phone.

Why?

I currently have an LG Phone right now but I may go back to Nokia or buy an iPhone kasi the quality of the LG is not soooo good. :(

funny that you expect wifi from these phones. they’re dirt cheap if you haven’t noticed. and with the very limited screen size, wifi won’t be as fun and as useful as it should be.

Where can we purchase these units?

Does the texting feature similar to Nokia?

These phones may not be known brands. But if they can pack a punch, why not? Of course, it also depends on the battery life and speed.
