meron akong cm titan, advice lng wag na kayo mag sayng ng pera p6499, its not worth it padin. mas ok pa ung sa my phone and starmobile dito eh.. after sales support is sucks 2. sobrang bilis masira ng c.m, unlike sa my phone ko until not gumagana pa 1 nd half yr na. madalas pa mabagsak. pero ok padin. and cignal ng cm ko very poor khit nasa labas naku.talo pa ng nokia ko na 2700. this is my own opinion. its still up to you kung gusto nyo mag waste ng perang pinaghirapan nyo.
ReplyDeleteI have a titan and i'm planing to upgrade my 8gb micro sd in it. what
ReplyDeleteclass is the titan capable of using on it's micro sd? Can i use the
class 4 or class 10? Pwede 64gb when it's limit is 32gb? thanks!
its kinda stupid na maraming nagsasabi na lamang tlga ang titan sa a898? dhil sa screen size? sa battery life lamang tlga titan pero screen size? mas malaki nga ang screen ng titan pero may kapalit un sa baba ng reso nya pagtinignan mu ng mabuti nagwawash out na ung display nya..,although may solusyon still wash out pa din so dun nagmumukang cheap ang isang phone kadalasan sa display lng tlga ang labanan..pero maganda din namn titan.. nd namn daw sirain 2lad ng ibang CM units
ReplyDeleteimo, it is possible quality wise naging ok na si Cherry w/ the Titan model. Pero nothing can save them from their customer support. If you consider everything to be disposable in terms of local branding, then go with Cherry Mobile since you already realized that your money will go down the drain with your purchase.
ReplyDeleteMyphone never lets me down. Installed a bad CFW for the A878, they fixed it for free in 2 days. Can Cherry do that? I'm pretty sure their first reaction will be "void warranty" :P
pero kung papipiliin i prepared bigger screens.pero dahil nga sa quality.ayaw ko ng bumili ng titan.
ReplyDeletetama yun mataas nga talaga ang quality ng mp kumpara sa cm....
ReplyDeletespecs titan=a898,quality titan<<a898.
ReplyDeleteSpec-wise, ok ang Titan. Quality-Wise, Myphone still is better. And for me, the most important factor is the After-sales support. Cherry mobile is HORRENDOUS with their after-sales support. Had 2 phones that was void warranty due to their technician's mistakes, I mean, come on, 2 phones, and they blamed it on me even if I never touched my phone to begin with. Tsk tsk.
ReplyDeleteMyphone is still my trusted brand. Will never go Cherry mobile ever again.
