I am thinking buying CM flare but my problem is its battery life. Is this any battery brand Can we use to subtitute the CM’s Battery? LiKe telego they made theor phone compatible to nokia’s comon battery brand’s.
Sasa says:
kung maka pag kumpara kau titan at flare wag muna agad mag compare ng specs habang nde mo alam ung kaya at nde niya kayang gawin.. mas maganda ang titan kasi arm7 which is the updated arm version for android mobile devices mapwera pa ung sa mga tablet arm11 kasi gamit sa mga tablet.. and sa flare ai arm5 kahit 1.2ghz siya na snapdragon kung outdated na ung arm version niya dba?? mostly kung gamer ka at hinihintay mo ung mga lumalabas na magagandang games sa android mostly ang mahahanap mo sa net ai ang pang arm7 and arm6 madalang ka makakita na compatible sa arm5… then again wala pang review sa flare na compatible ang skype sa titan meron pero may nabasa akong isang review na parehas silang titan ung nag skype daw sila black screen lng tapos kita sa maliit na parang window ung sarili nila.. siguro software problem lng un kasi pag phone to pc naman walang problema.. un lng shinare ko lng para mas maliwanag sa inyo
Asmodel says:
prob sa flare ung gyroscope di ata maganda pagkakalagay…mapapansin nyo pag naglaro kayo ng temple run..sabi sa mga hands on review.
Jo Grabz says:

Thanks in advace
Hoping for the quick response !!
Arnold says:
Do you have Idea Guys when this Cerry mobile Flare will be available in Davao Market?
RepotSirc says:
Anu ba GPU ng Titan at Flare?
X3 says:
Both of these phones does not have FM radioes?….
rod says:
panira ng specs ng flare ang 512MB na RAM and 1600mAh na battery. Andun na oh, biglang… wengk!!!
IMHO, Flare is like a phone version of EKEN A90 tablet. Same specs ng processor and RAM. kaya di na nakapagtatakang less than 4K ang price nya.
keith says:
ang pangit lng sa flare mkapal cya ahah…
Radical says:

jameserik says:

GERALD says:
I’m confused.. Which is better FLare or titan? Overall. Maganda po kaya yung Viewing Angle ng Titan na 5′? parehas po kasi ng processor yung astra at titan.

jennifer says:

coachjojoc says:

Bunny29 says:
pero judging from external looks, it is the same with karbonn a9+ rather than yung sa huawei
john says:
http://androidplus.in/reviews/karbonn-a9-review check this out… this is a review on an indian phone which is exactly the flare of CM
ja almediere says:
pwede bang umorder ng flare kse mhirap mkabili d2 sa laguna ih… saan ba pewde??
itsmepaulo says:
Bakit mas mura yung Flare kaysa sa Titan, samantalang sa aking personal na opinyon hindi hamak na mas maganda ang specs ng Flare compare sa Titan + pa ang IPS dispay ng Flare at yun processor if hindi ako ngkakamli eto yun processor ng nauna na nilang mas mahal na Android phone W900 ata yun model nun.
robuhh says:
kasi ung screen mas malaki tska yung battery life… pero oo nga mas maganda specs ng flare para skn,:D
ChrisP says:
Specs sheet is good. Price is awesome.
Let’s wait for hands-on review.
ken says:
if only the main memory is 1GB, i wouldn’t think twice to get both of them.
forster says:
Mas maganda feedback sa Myphone sa customer service and build quality ng devices. And for sure, magbabagsak rin ng preyso yan ng mga dual core Androids nila.
Scumbag Steve says:
Kawawa naman yung dalawang haters. Kailangan sila mag-isip isip tungkol dyan sa Chin…este Cherry Mobile Phone.
Greg says:
Goodluck sa myphone mo! lol. Ang daling masira, what a waste myphone, e wala ngang reviews dito sa yuga e.
... says:
Goodluck sa Myphone!! lol. ang daling masira. walang kwenta.
bil_san says:
kung hindi ako nagkakamali Cherry Mobile flare is karbonn A9+ from india? so far nice naman ang mga reviews nya.
KP says:
Cherry Mobile already boosts numerous good reviews on their Android phones. I hope to buy the CM Titan because it has bigger screen but the pixel count makes me think twice. Anyway, it has better battery pack than the Flare.
So yeah, I think I just have to wait until December since Yuletide is already around the corner! We can expect for more discounted sales! I hope these Titan and Flare are both quality phones despite their cheapness on price.
Mark says:
I have a CM Nova(Android,2010) almost 3 years old still 100% up and running. It’s easy to blame the phone company pero nasa tao lang din talaga yan. Kahit top brand pa yan like the different fruits kung wala kang alaga sa gadget mo sira talaga yun.
Mike M says:
Not really. 2 units of Cherry Orbits, both of them very well taken care of, both of them broke down by having phantom taps and short on the sensors.
But that wasn’t my problem w/ Cherry Mobile. Defects and malfunctions ARE part of the deal, always. It’s how they handle their customer support. Cherry Mobile has the WORST support ever. Took me 3 months with my 1st Orbit (1 Month, tested no damage, returned the next day since problem reoccured, another month, replaced LCD, returned an hour after since extreme phantom taps exists, another month for replacement), then 2 months with the other Orbit (Short on sensors, a month of wait. Returned to me “fixed”, but after testing, it was still the same, complained, they “fixed” it again but left the warranty sticker off, after a day, returned since it was never “fixed”, they voided my warranty after 3 months of non-use since purchase)
Price is never always the answer. Cherry Mobile should fix their lousy customer service. No amount that you saved will help you in these irritating situations.
johnrizle says:
Proud CM Nova owner here! Nagla-lag na ngayon konti ang CM Nova ko. Pero, in fairness, I think it started lagging only after I dropped it for the NTH (100+) times. Isang beses natanggal pa nga sides ng casing. So kasalan ko? hehe.
KP says:
Wow, thanks for that. I really wish nasa tao talaga yan. Cherry Mobile already boosts numerous good reviews on their Android phones. I hope to but the CM Titan because it has bigger screen but the pixel count makes me think twice. Anyway, it has better battery pack than the Flare. I think I just have to wait until December since Yuletide is already around the corner. I hope marami pang lumabas na cheap but quality Android phones.
William Co says:
It’s the price versus features/durability equation. At that price, it’s hard to argue if this will last as long as a branded (ie. Samsung) product. As long as it last a little over it’s one-year guarantee, I think it’s okay na. The specs are near that of a Galaxy SII (except for the internal memory), and an SII still sells for 18-19k. You could get four of these for an SII.
As for built-quality, I recently bought a Cherry Dragon Phone (W900) and am satisfied with it. There are bugs here and there, but on the whole it is okay for the pric e then (Php 5999). This is way better, spec wise.
Only advantage for branded products is accessories. One of the joy of a smartphone is it’s accessories like cases which you can change for a 100 or two and you feel like having a new gadget. Hopefully, Cherry Mobile will have some at launch.
Finally, these good enough phones is making it harder to get a high-end phone like the iPhone5 or the Samsung SIII. Sure those beast have better screens, processors, etc. But for 98% of users, the extra spec are barely noticed. A 800×480 screen is good enough for most web browsing. The 1.2 Dual-Core is good enough for most games. Most super high end games are best played on tablets and PC anyway. Casual games runs fine on my year-plus old SII (which is why I find it hard to justify upgrading to an SIII). The term is good-enough – for a fraction of the price, you get 95% of what Android has to offer and maybe 98% of what Android ICS can do for everyday task (like calling/sms/mms/facebook/etc). So will the good-enough phones cannibbalizes the sale of Samsung and co.? Pertsonally, I bought a Galaxy Pocket for my second sim, and recently upgraded to a Cherry Mobile w900. The increase in screen res is so much that I don’t use the Pocket anymore. And as said, the w900 feels good enough even against my Samsung SII (ecept the paltry internal mempory that the new Flare will partly address).
One thing to look for in these good enough phones (Starmobile, Myphone, Cherry Mobile Androids) is the screen and the processor. These new ones with dual cores above 1 Ghz shoukld be speedy-enough. But the screen tech should at least be IPS or oine that have a wide viewing angle. The first Androids (like Orbitz, Candy) have bad screens with low resolution o r poor viewing angle which stop it from being good enough. Thw w900 and the Flare (with it’s IPS ) should be good-enough. The Titan is not listed in the specs as IPS, so will await judgment. Ditto, Starmobile phones. One of the myPhone Android (forgot the model) doesn’t have 3G which is a downer for Android…
Got work to do, enough for now about these good-enough musings…

jennifer says:
madali ba talaga masira ang mga CM phones? or nasa ta lang kung paano nila e-handle yung phone nila? ot low quality of materials used lang talaga? please answer me im already confused whether to buy one (CM Flare).
Edan says:
I have a CM orbit, and its still decent. I’ve been using it for a year, I think it depends on the person talaga.
coachjojoc says:
Wait for the Starmobile Bright and/or Astra coming out first week of November and then decide.
My driver bought a CM phone and it broke down 3 months later. It took him another 3 months before he could claim it at its North EDSA Service Center.
The Defense rests.

hope a review will be out soon. Specs seems nice
splakepek says:
teka may 3g ba to?
johngo says:
Great. Inunahan ng Cherry ang Starmobile.
Will wait for the
Cherry Mobile Titan vs. Starmobile Astra
Good points for Titan:
HSPA+ (I hope it could support WCDMA850mhz of Smart)
2350mah battery
Good points for Astra:
HSDPA (with WCDMA850mhz support)
8 Megapixel Camera
Analog TV
Need to test first.
My Cherry Mobile M35 still in good working condition (more than 2 years).
LenovoLover says:
Dual 3G kaya to? or the usual GSM & 3G?
liane says:
gumagamit ba kau ng cherry mobile today….. maganda ba siyang gamitin po and tumtagal ba? kasi nag iisip ako ng phone na ippalit ko sa gamit ko ngayon eh… ?
goosebumps says:
Pwede na ang flare pang roaming..dual sim pa..
chacha says:
still the quality of the releases will determine this babies.
if you check out the service centers of myphone and cherry at sm,
there is much lesser people going to myphone than cherry’s.
i own a starmobile phone and so far it’s quality is comparable to myphone, i think we better wait for reviews, or myphone’s Bigger A series and starmobile’s ASTRA than these cherries. just a tip.
sonic says:
i think kaya mababa ang pricing nila ngayon eh bec. of competition sa other local brands.
Myphone & StarMobile’s new android handsets ( ICS, dual-core, 4++inch IPS screen) are also priced below 7k! At OEMs naman din ata ang mga units nila like CM’s Titan (Konka w990 in China), na may good reviews naman.
sana pababaan pa sila ng presyo. LOL!
i’ll definitely give this a try pag available na.
rangerwcl says:
bought the magnum 2x less than a year ago, its already damaged in less than 9 months, microphone and touch screen already malfunctioning and barely working. LEMONS!!!
Wreek888 says:
Parang mas ok yun starmobile astra 4.3 inc with analog tv sa 6,999
Enya says:
Kung me warranty naman na one year, why not try the Flare! Eh baka one year to pay pa ata eto using credit card. This is a steal!
Ron says:
Flare is really intriguing.
I will definitely keep my eye on those new phones.
Not all cheap items are “sulit”, some are just what you paid for; cheap.
yuja says:
right, and money aint easy to earn these days…
yuja says:
I like the flare for its price but i had a bad experience with cherry mobile and i dont want to risk.
kim says:
anung unit ng cherry mobile na bili mo….
yuja says:
Kung hindi dahil sa bad experience ko, i would think twice of buying this phone
JKisaragi says:
This looks like a quick jab at Lenovo. The Titan is quite the deal compared to its Lenovo counterpart, the S880.
And the Flare is in “impulse buy” territory. Its specs are comparable to Lenovo’s P700i (save for the battery), but the price difference is huge.
Now people would just have to wait for the reviews and see if these are good.
Gams says:
…and 70% disposable.
coachjojoc says:
Cherry = 30% of its phones are lemons.
Joylove says:
if all else fails…..
turn it into lemonade
coachjojoc says:
The Free Dictionary by Farlex defines lemons as: One that is unsatisfactory or defective: Their new car turned out to be a lemon.
jennifer says:
what do you mean lemons?
parkaerin says:
Good price.. ahuh!
Blank says:
Hmmm. . . not bad.
