    Bro Q,

    Kung may interest ka paayos po phone, maraming paraan. Same with nokia, pag nasira, you have to take time and effort para sa warranty.

    Likewise, kung ilulubog natin ang Nokia, at other brands with cherry mobile sa tubig, lahat masisira except water proof ng SAMSUNG B2100. Meaning, lahat prone to damage, so nasa gumagamit

    I have my cherry mobile almost more than a year, ang unang labas nito nabili ko sa Robinsons Mart, sa Rodriguez Montalban, i’m happy with it honestly. I have almost any model and brand na nagamit, pinamana ko pa nga sa anak ko ang cherry ko dahil friendly and heavy duty rin naman.

    So be fair, kung kailangan paayos, you take time talaga.

    Thumbs up for cherry, a nice and cheap but good quality of mobile among other cellphone brand players!

    sir chris, do u work for cherry?

    i was afraid that after sale service will not be that good, and im afraid to say that im right.

    March i went to Flasher, the nearest Service Center in QC, and they said that it will be fixed after 4 to 5 weeks, meaning i will not have phone for 1month. But if i go directly to the cherry mobile daw, mas iikli yata ang repair time. But i have to take a leave for work coz they are open Mon-Fri office hrs only. Which is not customer-friendly. I had a Konka and Myphone phones, and their service center is available (weekends and after office hrs) and ok.

    But with Cherry, i dont know. I have been calling them (since last week)to the number u gave me (5673341) but it’s always busy. and tried to contact other number but they will refer me to that same number.

    I already said that i dont expect the durability of this phone, pero November ko lang to binili, loose na ung saksakan ng headset, which is i need bec without headset, maingay sa kabilang linya kapag may voice call (that is the original problem of this phone which i didnt mind bec nga of headset). And then, until now wala pa ring headset sa nearest Service Center dito sa QC…

    Come on, considering u r doin something to increase ur sales by having this marketing campaign (festival teaser) by putting a lot booths everywhere, pero paano nman after sales? wala na? bahala na kami mahirapan sa mga phone namin, aabsent pa kami para lng makapunta sa main service center nyo?

    Kaya kung ako tatanungin, I wouldnt recommend this phone based on my experience right now. After half a yr of usage, loosen na ung cable/headset port (and the headset itself). And then it’s hard to contact the service center.

    I hope someone from cherry will read this, if not, at least the consumer will be informed of others’ experiences.

    Sure hindi kasing fancy ng Nokia, Samsung at Sony-Ericsson ang Cherry pero lahat ng hinahanap mosa basic cel phone andun. Kung medyo high end ng Cherry hanap mo medyo mahal, although ang level ng technology nya eh nasa 13K sa mahal na brand. Accessories nya magandang quality din at depende sa paggamit mo ang longevity nung unit.

    Siguro typical sa dual sim na pag naglagay ka ng 2 sim eh apektado talaga ang battery life mo. At pag-aaralan mo kung pa’no gamitin yung unit gaya ng T90 dahil nga sa manual na kulang sa info, pero depende talaga sa kung anong unit ang bibilhin mo eh, so hindi fair sabihin na hindi sya user-friendly.

    So far wala akong nakikitang problem with texting na masasabing hindi at par ang speeds nya sa mas mahal na brand. At depende sa unit ang special features kaya it’s by no means ordinary.

    All in all, and Cherry celphones ay pang-masa at magaan sa bulsa na merong 1 year guarantee kaya hindi s’ya ang typical na China phone mo na pag-nasira eh walang waranty na ganito.

    Hi chris ask ko lang. I bought q8 phone yesterday. pero baket di ako mka-connect. nasa wifi zone naman ako. di ko magamit. :-/

  12. Avatar for chris chris says:

    @kclois:Q5 ang trackball navi, save and sent folder only.

    @kyle:vga lang ang D20, opt for higher models like T85 and T90 if ur looking for higher resolution cam.

    @anne: i think you’re playing 3gp with higher fps, convert it using 15 fps. try also avi format.

  13. Avatar for anne anne says:

    @ chris :

    ask ko lng kung ano video format ng t80? i tried 3gp pro d ngpplay eh ;(

  14. Avatar for kyle kyle says:

  15. Avatar for kclois kclois says:

    @MJ: did you charge it 4-6h as initial charging time? this should be repeated twice/ thrice to optimize the battery power.

    @ghen: call 025673341
