Cherry Mobile has recently introduced a new phone that is designed to be paired with your primary smartphone via Bluetooth – the Cherry Mobile P1.
According to Cherry Mobile’s post on their Facebook page, the P1 is a “mini smartphone dialer” that needs to be paired with your main smartphone using Bluetooth. This will then allow you to make and receive calls without having to bring out your main phone in public. In addition, it can also access your inbox and music playlist.
Last year, HTC released a similar product called the HTC Mini – a China-exclusive NFC and Bluetooth equipped device made for the HTC Butterfly. Sony also released the Smart Bluetooth Handset SBH52 for the 6-inch Xperia Z Ultra which is a handheld audio accessory that can accept calls and display notifications.
Like the accessories mentioned above, the Cherry Mobile P1 aims to address the problem of having to use your main phone in not-so-safe locations. It’s also a good companion for phone equipped tablets.
The Cherry Mobile P1 is now available for Php799.

Is this stili available?
I have an ASUS ZENFONE 5 paired with a CHERRY P1.
It works fine. It is able to send and receive sms and make and receive calls.
CONS:
-names of contact does NOT show in sms inbox, only number of the contact
-will not alarm/sound/vibrate/notify for new sms received, only when there is incoming call
Overall: It is a great decoy phone!
will this work if paired to an iphone/any phones and has a sim card at the same time?
Kakainis naman cm, one month na iisa parin laging kulay available sa stores nila. Inuna pa kulay orange!!! Sino may alam kung saan may green nito po? Tagal nako naghahanap :(
Any other phone similar to this one in terms of functionality (aside from HTC Mini)? P1 is out of stock in my area. Can’t find any online shop who has this model. Anyone?
Bakit kaya di nagwowork sa iphone. Meron naman MAP, iphone4 and up. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3647
Pwede kaya toh sa iphone???
How’s the battery life of the P1? I’m planning of buying one.
@JP, does it really work on iphone? i would definitely buy this phone if I can pair it with my phone. hopefully theres a solution for the messaging problems..
@Tonee, doesnt bluetooth calling thru the p1 work? are you still having problems with pairing it with your iphone?
Bought this last week. Surely does the job. works alright with the iPhone 5S on call and phonebook sync…. BUT it doesn’t sync the Messages. Anybody know a workaround for this one?
bumili ako nito kanina, tinry ko sa IOS, nag pair up naman sya, kaso yung messaging hindi. Kailangan pa ng BMAP para sa messaging. Sa call functions naman, nakakapag dial sya from the P1 kaso, sa mismong phone mo pa rin maririnig yung kausap mo.
atleast pwede syang backup phone
would buy this in a heartbeat were it qwerty.
wow! handy gadget it is. demo please! will surely buy if it really works. yey!
I went to the CM kios at Rob.Magnolia. they said that it is only compatible with an ANDROID OS. So if your phone is running Android, you may use this. I was supposed to buy one but when I asked the price, the seller said its Php1,150. I didn’t buy because I read in this article that it was supposed to be Php799. Maybe i’ll scout other CM stores. :)
I would get this if this works with Windows Phone.
Pano ‘to kung dual sim? May nakabili na ba sainyo nito na ginamit sa dual sim na smartphone? CM Mobile Burst 2.0 kasi yung phone ko.
ayos to sakin next year kailangan ko na rin magcommute pag papasok araw-araw para iwas snatch ng cellphone =) tingin ko pede naman to sa ibang brand =)
If this functionality would be built within their CM phone/watch (kung anuman tawag dun), mas magiging mas benta ito.
compatible kaya sa ibang brands like sony, samsung, htc, nokia, etc. ?
If I buy one tatawag din ba sakin si Anne Curtis like yung nasa pic?
I have had this idea since my 5800 days.
Good idea… been looking for this kind of device. sana nga meron demo… :D
ang epic n2 bumili ka tpos ipair mo rin sa cherry mobile flare 1. ayos!
It does have its own sim card slot to act as a standalone phone. Or as stated in the article, you can have it simless to pair and sync with ur smartphone for calls, texts and music. Its nice, i actually have one paired with my note 2.
Panu po ipaired may p1 din po ako tapos ndi gumagana ung text and call sabe ndi daw available. Pa help po tnx.
Does it have its own sim card?
Yes it has.. sana lang pumayag sila i-demo kasi gusto ko talaga bumili, pero sana may demo sila
This make sense. Might buy one. Thanks for the review.
