Cherry Mobile: really cheap phones with dual SIM support

16. June 2009, 1:56 UhrMobileSharlyne Ang

Do you remember the days of having a thick battery on your Nokia phone so that you can use two SIM cards in your phone without removing the battery and replacing the SIM card with the other one? Cherry Mobile is a new player in the local mobile communication industry that provide dual SIM technology at a low price. Cherry Mobile is not actually the first to provide the dual SIM technology in the Philippines in fact, there’s already the existing one which is My Phone.

D20 Life @ Php 2,990 SRP

Features

  • VGA Camera
  • Large 1.8″ 65K Color TFT LCD Display
  • MP3/MP4 Player
  • FM Radio
  • Voice Recorder
  • Micro SD Card up to 2 GB
  • Bluetooth 2.0
  • Dual Active Sim/Dual Standby

The selling point for these new mobile phones is its affordability and usability for the common Filipino. Most Filipinos have 2 or more mobile phones in their possession so to be able to just bring one phone for two SIM cards of different networks would already lessen the hassle of bringing 2 or more phones everytime you leave the house. Cherry Mobile’s dual SIM units cost from Php 2,999 up to Php 5,690. Imagine how cheap that is for a basic phone.

D50 Inertia @ Php 3,690 SRP

Features

  • 1.3 megapixel compatible camera
  • MP3/ MP4 player
  • FM Radio
  • Motion Sensor
  • Bluetooth 2.0
  • Micro SD Card up to 2 GB
  • GPRS

M35 Integra @ Php 5690 SRP

Features

  • Free-to-air TV Phone
  • TV Function
  • 2.0 megapixel compatible camera
  • large 2.2″ QVGA TFT LCD Display
  • Dual Camera
  • MP3/ MP4 Player
  • FM Radio
  • Motion Sensor
  • Micro SD Card up to 2 GB
  • Bluetooth 2.0
  • GPRS

S11 Blade Single Sim @ Php 2690 SRP

Features

  • large 1.8 65K Color TFT LCD Display
  • VGA Camera
  • Pitch Changer
  • MP3/ MP4 Player
  • FM Radio
  • GPRS/ MMS Capable
  • Micro SD Card up to 2 GB
  • Bluetooth 2.0

Their units are really just basic phones. When I say basic it means they are capable of calling, texting and a little entertainment. Do not expect that you can surf the internet fast enough because it only GPRS capable. Also do not expect them to produce very clear mobile phone photos because they only offer VGA or 1.3 MP. These phones are for the Filipino who need to use the basic technology to communicate to anyone whether it’s for personal or for business. This is a good idea for Filipinos who have pre-paid and post-paid SIM Cards.

Cherry Mobile will be having service centers nationwide so no need to worry when your units will have problems.

When we were at the launch of Cherry Mobile at the Bureau, they introduced their endorser, John Lloyd Cruz. I guess Cherry Mobile targeted the right celebrity with mass appeal :) .

    im using now cherry mobile phone, but how can change my themes, where do i find it. thanks

     
  8. codewalkz, 17. August 2009, 7:05

    I got a d50 CHerry mobile phone. I think there’s no chance to change the theme yet as the customer support told me. Maybe in the upcoming models it’ll be. They can’t even allow games to be installed. argh!

    if this phones supports java files its great… But if not its useless… Im always surfing the net… So i much prefer phones that supports opera mini… Symbian is the best… But java will do…

     
  10. jing cagas, 10. September 2009, 14:32

    This phone is very practical and affordable. I was amazed of its ease of use. Nokia loyals like me will find it very easy to navigate.

  12. papaalex, 12. September 2009, 23:11

    i bought M35 Integra yung pinakamahal sa line of product nila… practical at nakamura ka for buying a phone with dual sim instead of palagi kang palit sim sa nag-iisa mong celphone. stereo speaker nya… malinaw TV, … may libreng isa pang baterya… ang headset niya ay hindi 3.5 at dun din saksakan ng pangcharge… parang China phone din lang ang technology.. Advantage lang 1 yr yung warranty dahil may basbas ng NTC.. Badtrip lang talaga di ma-installan ng kahit ano games — java, sis, o even simple NES…

     
  13. jhomssss, 13. October 2009, 6:43

    sana naman yung mga henyo jan makatulong satin paglalagay ng application dito.. m35 din unit ko.. pangkalahatan ok sakin yung application lang gusto ko rin kasi ng games or maglagay ng opera mini.. hehehe

     
  14. josa, 14. October 2009, 19:07

    currently i have s11 blade (white) and it is really stylish but if cherry mobile phones is not java capable then what applications can we download so to have other games?

     
  15. Fred, 19. October 2009, 21:43

    maybe pag nagawa na nila yung main site nila baka dun pde na tau makakuha ng mga pde i-download na applications

     
  16. lyn, 20. October 2009, 21:59

    i like the beauty of your product. how and where can i order?. thanks!

    please feature also your cherry mobile commet model. i like the size. i want to know its features and colors available. i am now using M35 and so far, i am satisfied with its performance and porma wise, ok naman sya. in my recent trip to canada and u.s. i was really amazed coz i was able to use the tv feature of the M35. my brother, a u.s. citizen was really amazed by my cellphone and can’t believe the price when i told him. he thought it is expensive.
