Two dual-SIM smartphones running on Android Ice Cream Sandwich (version 4.0) were launched by local phone company Cherry Mobile last Oct. 24. The price points: only P3,999 for the Cherry Mobile Flare which is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon Dual Core Processor. The slightly larger Titan, on the other hand, is priced at P6,499 and has a 5-inch capacitive touchscreen. Both phones are preinstalled with the Opera Mini 7.5 web browser. It's something I still have to try in a phone, although Opera Mini overall is well-reviewed. Mostly, I just can't believe a brand ... Continue Reading...
Cherry Mobile & affordable Android phones
I've been getting a lot of searches in this blog for cheap Android phones which only means that there's high demand for such products.

The big bash announcing the launch of Cherry Mobile's Android smartphones featured a nimble and sexily clad pole dancer. Some of us could only say "WHA??!" It turned out to be a euphemism for something - Cherry Mobile revving up the excitement for the competition and pole vaulting its way to challenge giants like the Apple iPhone. Give credit to the fact that Cherry Mobile is one of a few Filipino-owned companies in a telecoms market dominated by global brands.

Torque TQ800 Trinity is the first triple SIM phone, says proponent
This is a rather belated note of clarification on my previous blog post on Cherry Mobile and its triple SIM phone, Trident. The guys of Torque Mobile, notably Mr. Chris Uyco, nudged me to clarify that Torque TQ800 Trinity has the distinction of being the country's first triple SIM phone, contrary to the claims of their close competitor.
