Cherry Mobile has a new phone that’s capable of handling 3 SIM cards at the same time called the Trident (Q300). Yes, this is probably the first triple-SIM phone to be marketed in the Philippines — and it’s got a TV tuner too.
Designed to look like a cross between the Nokia E72 and the BlackBerry Curve, Cherry Mobile’s Trident phone was launched just last week (July 1) with a suggested retail price of Php6,450USD 110INR 9,318EUR 105CNY 800.
Cherry Mobile Q300 Trident
* Triple SIM, Triple Standby
* Quad Band GSM
* 2.46†TFT LCD
* 2MP camera
* WiFi
* Analog TV with Record
* FM Radio with Record
* up to 4GB on microSD
* Bluetooth
It’s got an optical trackpad too, just like the ones from BlackBerry. All 3 SIM cards are active but only two are MMS-capable and can connect to GPRS. Not sure what the battery life would be like though {via PTB}.

cool! :D parang gusto ko. haha. :D

I think even TORQUE released a triple sim phone.
IanMedina34 says:
@abeolandres java phone ba ang trident?
abeolandres says:
@IanMedina34 yup
Richard says:
hahaha! kmusta nman kaya ang battery life nito?
fjordz says:
cool phone! But, is there really a need for a three-SIM phone?
akia says:
para sa mga load retailers :) nice kc may wifi
Jade Bryan says:
waaa. But that slogan sucks. ‘we’ll take you around the globe’ ‘& let’s talk anything under the sun’
Jhay says:
I know a lot of my friends who would love this phone.
Malcoxx says:
This is cool. I love the fact that technology is “mass” friendly nowadays. The price is very cheap and is more convenient than carrying three 1xxx.xx phones.
Only caveat that I have with these phones are the GUI. I am a visual person and improving the GUI and screen quality will make me a sure buyer. I understand that it will increase the price, but an option would be great. I don’t mind paying 10k if the device is worth it.
Good job Cherry, more great products like this to come!
boboyco says:
@abeolandres Wow! That’s Globe, Smart and Sun in one package.
roan carl says:
now we dont have to carry more than 3 phones hehehe but it think its realy practical and the price is good, how about the quality of this phone
jan says:
bat disabled ang site ng cherrymobile?
RickLabrador says:
This attempt is nice and its got wifi too. But what about the perf? Is it fast or fast enough for a good web browsing experience? And the built? Hope its not cheap plastic, though I cant expect too much from this price range, good to know their keeping up with the times in terms of feat. Its the hardware that concerns me. A good buy though for those who prefer affordability.
bonxy says:
cherry mobile is known for their dual sim and now triple sim feature… but the media features of their phone sucks…
1. u cant change the themes
2. u cant receive mms eventhough its already activated by ur network provider
3. the camera resolution isnt really megapixel… its still vga
H says:
Triple sim! Holy cow! Myphone, gandahan nyo version nyo. With colors please.

wow! am lured to buy one!
lolipown says:
@bonxy
you get what you pay for with cherry
skagen says:
nice! 3 sim in one! will wait for the review.
lalin says:
looks tempting but I got doubts with quality… and esp battery life.
Ang Maniniyot says:
Ayos at may WiFi siya. Sana may A-GPS na rin pero malupit to. Kaso parang hindi mo kakailanganin ang 3 sim cards at a time eh. :D
IC DeaDPiPoL says:
The specs are nice but why the 4gig limit?
limuelG says:
cherry mobile,, parang china phone lang yan,,, bilis pa ma drain ng battery……
Teknisyan says:
Aha… that’s for the trident name… qwerty phone, wifi, tv, and of course triple SIM!! what more can you ask for?!
http://www.teknisyan.net/2010/07/root-of-iphone-4-reception-issue.html
JP says:
@teknisyan, ummm:
*no sent items folder
*no multitasking.
But this is a great phone, considering the Wi-fi capability.
Could someone confirm if Cherry Mobile handsets aren’t just rebranded china phones or is it just like EMAXX that “rebrands” J&W motherboards.
Adrian says:
wow cool phone.
Kinny says:
Can’t wait to see my/phone’s version of tri sim.
Arvee says:
…then bundle it with 3 sims, priceless.
buknoy says:
Torque also has one, and the specs are very much the same. Anyone knows kung alin ang mas ok na brand? torque or cherry?
markmarcelo0210 says:
I super love the slogan! Ok to ha… TRIPLE SIM!
Euan says:
wow, i can’t believe i’m drooling!! LOL!! grabe, mejo maganda yung pgkkadesign at triple SIM!! I WANT IT!! Heheheh! At may WIFI at Document Viewer! wow! Yung Trident name reminds me of Poseidon kasi Trident yung weapon nya. :D

mint says:
why everyone claims to be the first one to release a 3-sim in market…torque also did the same claim last may…hahaha.
but it is quite promising for a 3-sim to be out in the market today…let us cross our fingers for the next 4-Sim phone to be out in the coming months…
minnie me says:
i think cherry is indeed a china phone. hello? can you look at their phone designs??? total knock off of nokia and samsung phones!
Loong Tang says:
Most of us are still looking for a wide features (3g, High MP, OS) but this phone is just 6k (not bad for others), for me this is a good phone and will use it for smart, globe and pldt landline,.. walang perfect na phone sa ngayon kahit kaya nilang gumawa pagsamasamahin….
CHRYMO says:
Hey Abe, you spelled Nokia wrong. Nice looking phone IMHO… I just hate the sound of fixing this phone in english. You just popped the Cherry didn’t you? lol!
bj says:
Im looking to buy a tri-sim phone. Ive seen the Trident in one of the Mall shops here but I found out about the Torque Trinity. Its an earlier launched a Tri-Sim phone by Torque. A blog I found said it has Java and can access Gmail and major social networking sites. Does the Cherry Trident do this too?
Would appreciate it if you could write a post comparing the two.
Looking forward to that! Thanks!^_^
Luis says:

jun says:
seems nice both features and look. hmmm i’ll buy this phone
JunJun says:
a very useless phone…battery drains easily….so how can i maximize the use of this phone outdoors, ha?
…a crap
Jojo says:
I actually bought the this phone. The battery lasts quite long with moderate use. I used it with average calls and txting for 3 days. I dont know how long it would have lasted because I decided to charge it anyway.
It’s great for basic use. The java browser works, but I dont like it.
It has a TV which is quite interetsing :) and has saved me from many boring waiting moments.
Data entry could be cumbersome though.
And contrary to what is mentioned here previously, yes you can change the themes.
RJ says:
Always bring a charger with you…
reirei says:
…if one of my 3 phone get snatched… I’ll only loose 1.
If this get snatched, I’ll loose all 3 of my sims at once lol
cherrymob says:
meron bang kasamang extra battery sa package? meron din bang front camera like the torque trinity?
chi says:
daming negative feedbacks ng trident:

chi says:
sir yuga, we’re hoping that you could give us detailed review of this Cherry Mobile Trident. A friend of mine has this and says he haven’t encountered any “bugs” so far but there’s a lot of “reklamo’s” over this said unit.
help us decide: to buy or not to buy.
this will be indeed helpful for people like me who travel around manila a lot, carries only a small bag and uses 5 sims.
thanks!
Xtian says:
Why not feature the Torque Trinity also? Other sites mentioned as it being the 1st to launch here in the Philippines.
sey says:

Cool!! I hope you could have a more “masusing” review about this. This phone’s perfect for us yuppies. :D
jen says:
i wish to get this asap… whowwwww…..love it
adrian says:
Cherry mobile features are okay, kasi angdami which you can not find in other trusted brands like nokia but the downside of buying china phones is the battery and unstable pa ang software like usb charger read by the phone as headset, kaya siguro di maayos ang charging. battery charger is also not covered by warranty even if after 2 months pa lang binili. just sharing my experience on my cherry mobile. have regrets of buying it but its your choice.
schadenfreude says:
pretty much a rebranded china phone. that goes for torque as well.
ApRiL says:
bumili ako last week ng cherry q300 para magamit sa Canada.. Sabi kasi ng seller pwede daw ito khit sa anong bansa… pero hindi ko naman ito magamit dito sa Canada. baka may kaylangan lang ayusin sa settings nya para magamit dito.. kung sino po ang marunong, paturo naman po pls.
Jeff Tope says:
For me cherryl mobile trident is cool. triple sim kc, woww kaya lahat ng costumer ko ay makareply n kahit anong network s skin. the best ito sa service ko!
Danilo Jr Nobleza says:

Ice panganiban says:

trident says:
Yah… This Cherry Mobile Trident is a Triple SIM phone is really very nice. I used this phone.
Reyhan Cayabyab says:
It’s a practical phone if you’re using 3 sim cards. I’m using:
1. Sun
2. Globe
3. PLDT LL
I’m not sure if it’s built like this or if it’s malfunctioning, I got this late December 2010:
1. Sometimes pressing and holding the unlock key won’t unlock, so you gotta do that a lot.
2. Sim3 doesn’t have call settings unlike sim1 and sim2, so whatever sim you’re using in sim3, you CANT toggle:
– call waiting
– call divert
– call barring
Other issues with sim slot 3:
1. You can’t use phone memory for storing messages received from sim slot 3, so if your sim has a maximum capacity of 25 messages, you gotta keep deleting after receiving 25 messages. Sim 1 and 2 each is given a 1000 message capacity.
2. I tried putting in PLDT LL in sim slot 3, and instead of registering as pldt ll+, it registers as smart, okay that’s fine I guess but when people try calling that pldt ll number, I don’t get a ring, I’m not notified. I wouldn’t know who’s calling and when the call happened until they call me on my other numbers. Outgoing calls still work. If you put the pldt ll on sim slot 1 or sim slot 2, it does ring and it does register as pldt ll+. I could do it that way but I get a lot of messages on my other sims (globe and sun) and so i have to start deleting messages after the 25th message if placed in sim slot 3.
3. Changing Touch-pad sensitivity settings doesnt make a difference with sensitivity, sometimes itll respond to finger movement, sometimes it wont, so i use the volume keys which also act as an up or down button on some menus.
4. If you plug in earphones without a built-in Mic and you get a ring from someone and answer it, call would end and the person calling you would think you’re rejecting the call. im guessing the phone is looking for a built-in mic on that earphone and when it detects no mic, it drops the call. Why am i using earphones not included in the box? well because the earphones I use are better in terms of sound quality, I use it for the mp3s I put into the phone.
5. Pressing sim 2 button goes to the main menu. There is already a button for that, so there are 2 buttons going to the main menu while sim 1 and sim 3 button goes to their call history.
6. Browsing capabilities are very limited, but hey least you get to use WiFi right?
7. I’ve had issues wherein I have to press hands-free twice just activate that feature.
8. Battery doesn’t last too long. Probably why they include an extra battery in the box.
What I like about the phone:
1. 3 sim cards obviously.
2. It’s cheap. Even though it feels like it can break any minute, it’s still cheap.
3. You can use regular earphones for this.
4. 8GB support, good for mp3s.
5. Has a built in TV tuner. I never get good reception, so i really dont use it.
6. Has a button on the side that activates a voice recorder, so if you need that feature quickly, its just 1 press away. I’ve used it many times.
7. qwerty keypad.
8. dual camera with mini lighting. I’ve used it once, for testing.
Trident says:
hi,i just want to know if this phone is nice or not.if it’s worth to buy orn ot,i neeeed to know!!!!i need to know if the camera works nice..if the battery lasts long and if the UI is nice.thanks

Haha nakakatuwa talaga service ng cherry mobile ^__^, una ung q300 trident ko ayaw mag on, so dinala ko sya sa HQ sa roxas boulevard, edi inayos nila at pinalitan ung motherboard. Matapos mapalitan ang matherboard napansin ko na ung ipinalit ay gamit na dahil may mga laman pa ang message at phonebook, ayos lang sakin un kasi mukha namang walang problema, kaso matapos ang 3 araw ung keypad biglang ayaw ng gumana, sa sarili kong observasyon, kapag pinatay ng matagal ung unit at binuksan uli gagana ung keypad pero mawawala uli. Ibinalik ko ang unit sa HQ at dinulog nga ang aking problema, tuwing sabado lang ako nakakapunta sa HQ nila dahil sa aking trabaho kaya ISANG LINGGO kong iniwan ung unit sa kanila. Pag balik ko at kinuha yung unit ok na “DAW”. Tinanong ko kung may pinalitang pyesa at ang sabi ay wala, nung ginamit ko yung unit napansin ko na andun pa din ung mga lumang data, ibig sabihin di rin ginalaw ung software. ISANG LINGGO sa kanila yung unit tapos DI MANLANG NILA GINALAW? MAKITA LANG NILA NA GUMANA OK NA? DI MANLANG INOBSERBAHAN? Sinabi ko na nuon na kapag pinatay ng matagal at biuksan uli gagana ung keypad pero saglit, sabi nung CSR inobserbahan naman daw, pero dahil halfday lang sila nun at 11am nako nakapunta dun at binigay sakin ung phone ay 12:30, labasan nila, di ko na masyadong na-obserbahan sa HQ nila, pero pag uwi ko ANG GALING KASI UNG UNIT AYAW NA NAMAN GUMANA UNG KEYPAD, NAKAKATUWA TALAGA ANG CHERRY MOBILE. ISANG LINGGO SA KANILA UNG UNIT DI MANLANG GINALAW.
PAYO KO SA MGA NAIS BUMILI NG CHERRY MOBILE DAPAT SIGURADUHIN NYO MUNANG WALA KAYONG SAKIT SA PUSO O HIGHBLOOD KASI IIKSI BUHAY NYO SA MGA PRODUCTO NILA. DEC 24 KO LANG BINILI UNG UNIT PERO DI KO NA MAGAMIT, ANG GALING TALAGA ^__^
