Cherry Mobile W900 Dragon Phone Android at P5,999!

According to the Chinese, 2012 is the Year of the Dragon. And this year doesn't get any better with the Android sale that's going to happen in a couple of days time.

In line with Cherry Mobile's 3rd Anniversary here in the Philippines, they're slashing not a thousand, not even three thousand, but P4,000 off of their W900 Dragon Phone! You heard that right. The W900, formerly priced at P9,999, is available now for only P5,999. That's a steep 40% discount. The catch: It's a one day sale, and that day is on August 15, 2012.

P5,999 is cheap for a mid-range Android 2.3 Gingerbread phone that sports a 1.2GHz Snapdragon S2 processor I'll tell you that. For perspective, the iPhone 4S carries a dual-core 1GHz Cortex-A9 processor (starting at P33,000). The Samsung Galaxy S2 on the other hand has a dual-core 1.2GHz Cortex-A9 (P23,500). Lastly, the iPhone 3GS sports a single-core 600 MHz Cortex-A8 and is currently selling for P14,990.

Pros:

• Cheap for P5,999
• 1.2GHz single-core Snapdragon S2 processor
• Good BB-inspired design
• Local brand, covered by warranty

Cons:

• Mediocre battery life
• No camera flash
• Somewhat poor camera
• Ugly "CURVACEOUS" text located at gold bezel

Ask any local tech expert in the scene, P5,999 for a 1.2GHz Android is a very good bargain, given the shortcomings of this smartphone. If I were you, you should mark that date (August 15, 2012) and be ready to fall in line. The Cherry Mobile 3rd Anniversary Sale is available nationwide.
