@NicoCalunia
Sir Nico Ano po bang mgndang setup ng setcpu for fusionbolt?
ReplyDeleteHindi ko po alam kung ano dapat setcpu ng fusion bolt. Parang default lng po kasi ginagamit. Cenxa na po. :( pwede ka rin mgpos dun sa fusion bolt pages. :)
Deletesir may update na ba para sa sky fire
Deletei go for higher processor. i rather buy digicam if wit re to camera :)
ReplyDeleteMay point po kayo..hehe pro meron din po gusto 2 n 1.. :)
DeleteCorrect me if im wrong pero d ba 1.quadcore natin ang omega hd?
DeleteCorrect me if im wrong pero d ba 1.quadcore natin ang omega hd?
DeleteOmega HD 2.0 and quadcore.. Omega HD dual core
Deleteso, sir,,,if you are to buy, which of the two would you prefer and why?
ReplyDeleteif you are to advice me-i'm fond of taking pictures, music, web browsing like fb and the like, which one is for me?- kb
If I were to choose I will go for the Skyfire 2.0 but since you are fond of taking pictures go for the Omega HD. You will have a phone and cam in one device. :)
Deleteic..thanks..pero sir, ive just read,,my tendency po pala sya mag overheat-the omega hd??but i guess this is normal in most phones? ang comment kai nung isa, nilalagay lang daw sa bag, umiiit pa rin ung battery? why do u think is this so?
Deletekb
probably hindi nakill yung running apps while the phone is not in use.kelangan po kasi na kung hindi ginagamit ang phone nastop yung ilang running apps. pero if persisting ang problem better return the device. :)
ReplyDeleteSir nics... i tot sf 2.0 has ips display and bsi on its camera.... as i've red the specs on fb... wt ya think????
ReplyDeleteAnd i'm a bit confusre too because other reviews discloses diff specs from the others... ex. Others wil post it has 1point something ghz while others will post it only has 1ghz... so as da battery, others will say it's 2,000mah's while others adds another hundred mah's.... anyway, it's just a bit confusion since i'm not a techno geek who wants to buy ther rest of da phone... :-) jejejejeje
Thnks so much sir:-) God bless you:-)

hello edwin. thanks for the comment. it is good that you read other blogs. in writing there might be some errors with the specs that is why it s also a prerogative for e to check the units myself. kasi not all that agents say are 100% correct. it is also good that you ask. i got tjese specs from an agent from cm.
Deletenote: the point something in the processor speed is neglible when it comes to user experience. although bsi is really good for camera. because you are reading blogs about phones soon malaman mo difference ng isang phone to another. :)
God bless you too. sana makabalik a dito and become an expert in android phones..hehe
sa tingin nio skyfire or omega hd? hrap pumili
ReplyDeleteall in one? go for omhd
Deletegaming? sf po
depende po sa preference. i think i will wait for the hybrid ng omhd+skyfire=12mp bsi na quadcore with dragontrail display..hehe sana meron nyan soon. :)
Un di po ung hinihintay ko. I have discovered Flame 2.0 and I'm hooked on Cherry Mobile. Great blog, really nice reviews.
Deletety po for commenting bd for the compliment. :) puro user review po ito. generated by owners and questions. moderate and help lng po ginagawa ko. yung flame din ang hinihintay ko nun..hehe pero ngayon ang dami na. :)
Deleteso alin nga po ang mas maganda sa dalawa? im more on sa pagkuha ng pic at games na din po.. so alin po mas maganda?
ReplyDeletepinakamaganda for u is thr cm omega hd. but you can also go for titan. or cm skyfire 2. :)
DeleteMay CM Omega HD 2.0...yan ang best para sa iyo. :)
Deletequad cor na din po diba ang OHD, P8,999 na price nya..
ReplyDeletedual core po ang OMHD..bakit ngmahal? :(

DeleteAt first, gusto ko talagang buy si CM Omega HD. Ganda ng feature. Pinaka gusto ko sa lahat yung sa pagkuha ng picture, also Dragontrail Glass pa siya. Yun talaga hanap ko sa phone e, pang picture taking, addict lang masyado. Then lumabas si skyfire 2.0. ganda din feature, tapos quadcore pa. Kaso may nabasa ako negative feedback about sa camera ng Skyfire. Delayed daw un shutter. Pero super ok daw pag sa game. So since mas hilig ko pag picture taking and di naman ako ganun ka hilig sa game, I'll go for Omega HD na siguro. Also ang cute tingnan ni Omega HD, parang Samsung S3 lang ang dating. :) Nacheck ko na sa area namin availability ng Skyfire and meron. Too bad ala daw Omega HD. Sana magkaroon na ng stock this week or might as well try ko maghanap sa Manila. Thanks guys for this blog. Now nakapag decide nako sa wakas. haha Sana pagkabili ko ng phone, after 2-3 months pa maglabas ng bago ang CM. -.- More power!
ReplyDeletehindi po guarantee na in 2-3 months waang irelease. but i think u hav chosen one of the best phones sa arket ngayon. :) inggit ako sa iyo kasi may budget ka...hahaha sana feedack kayo sa experience nyo soon. :)
DeleteAsk lang po if di namimili ng brand of microSD HC mga cherry mobile phone, particularly OmegaHD and/or SkyFire 2.0. I'm planning to buy 32GB cdr-king brand since mura lang. :D Please help :) Thanks!
ReplyDeletesa mga reviews wala pa na man nagsabi na pihikan si sk at omhd sa sd cards. bakit po 32 gig? ang laki na man.hehe
DeleteJust buy small-sized micro SD card the equiv of the expandable memory.. kpag sinagad nyO like 32ers, mostly HANG ang unit-
Deletekuha ka Lang muna 16gb.
Kapag di pa subok ang unit/gadget nhihirapan lang
I go for 8GB lang..hehehe :)
DeleteGet an apacer or kingmax brand....using apacer to my fubo now....
ReplyDeletesandisk yung flare ko taz imation click ko..hehehe working na man 4gb nga lang. :)
DeleteHala im planning to buy ohd now sana may stock =((((
ReplyDeletemaglibot libot po kayo sa nearby malls at magpareserve lung meron. ;)
DeleteI'm also planning to buy this weekend but they said wala ng stock. Which store or mall can I buy Cherry Mobile OHD?
ReplyDeletetry sm cyberzone po. :)
Deletemeron na po cherry omega hd 2.0
ReplyDeletetry search mr. Google for more info
Yup meron na dw..hehe ay flare 2.0 din daw..hehe sana iba na lang pinangalan..hehe
DeleteIn terms of durability, is true na madaling masira ang cherry mobile phones? Curious lang talaga. My gf strongly advices against buying cherrymobile phones. Her past experiences weren't good.
ReplyDeletenoon yan sir migx..yung mga feature phonea pa.but now there are a lot of quality android phonea from cherry. these phones featured here are at the top of the heap in the market today. affordable pa. :)
DeleteThanks bro.
DeleteAnyways, CM OHD 2.0 na release recently is so far the biggest bang for the buck from what i see.
Welcome bro. Oo nga may CM OHD 2.0 na...pero kaibahan nyan sa OMHD is only the processor.hehe pero worth it kasi 1k lang na man ang difference. :)
DeleteHala meron na nga Cherry Mobile Omega HD 2.0
ReplyDeletehttp://www.smcyberzone.com/blog/cherry-mobile-announces-omega-hd-20
http://www.unbox.ph/gadget/cherry-mobile-omega-hd-2-0-quad-core-hd-5-inch-android-4-2-for-php8999/
Is anyone here that has this phone already? Buy na sana ako this week ng Omega HD, then navisit ko ulit tong blog, and I did search sa google and totoo nga. Gusto ko sana muna mabasa comments ng mga users na netong mobile phone na to bago ko sana buy. :)
yup may successor na ang omhd..hehe i will feature these phonea soon. :)
DeleteHeto po ang Cherry Mobile Omega HD 2.0.
Deletetanung ko lang regarding sa setting ng camera ng ohd 2.0, kc ok sya kapag well lighted ang kukunan mo pero kung madilim kahit may flash pa sya eh malabo pa din, compare ko lang sa skyfire 2.0 na automatic sya mismo ang nag aadjust at mas maganda ang kuha nya sa dilim kahit na 8megapixel lang sya at ang ohd 2.0 ay 12 megapixel.di ko makita ang difference 8megapixel at 12megapixel sa ohd 2.0. tnx
Deletepara saken e malaking advantage ung 1.2GHz Snapdragon S4 Quad-Core ng skyfire.. maganda nga ang display masasaalang alang nmn un ung performance...tama ba?? confuse kasi ako e..di nanaman masama ang 8MP camera at 5-inch qHD IPS scratch resistant ??
ReplyDeletethe skyfire 2.0 is built with quality. sa specs nya balanced sa processor. yung battery ok na man. :)
DeleteSir bkt sabi sa ibang review e ang disadvantage daw ng skyfire e madali magasgas compared sa OHD ? E db scratch resistant naman un like my xperia. Gang ngaun e wala pa gasgas e 11/2 yr na to. What u think?thanks
ReplyDeleteyung skyfire kasi compared sa omhd is less scratch resistant. ang omhd kasi dragontrail one of the most durable glass for smartphones, another is the gorilla glass mostly used in samsung phones. but yung skyfire is only scratch resistant. :)
Deletehi guys, my only question is how bad / good is the after sales service of cherry mobile? planning to get either the OHD or SF2.0 ( mainly for browsing / kids games / pictures ). thanks!
ReplyDeleteAfter sales is really a headache po for Cherry Mobile. But test all of the functions before purchasing the unit. Test the gyro sensor, camera, etc. Para di na po kayo babalik sa Cherry Mobile Store.hehe :)
Delete
Deletethanks for your honest reply. yan lang problem nga sa mga mura - so swertehan na lang siguro sa unit.
Parang ganun na rin po. Dami kasi demand kaya hindi na masyado naquality control yung iba. But as ive said test nyo po lahat taz sagarin nyo ang gamit after purchasing kasi may 1 week kayo for replacement. :)
Deleteis that true? CM OMEGA HD 2.0 is already in the market???
ReplyDeleteis that true? CM OMEGA HD 2.0 is already in the market???

DeleteThis is regarding cherry mobile skyfire 2.0 or any rebranded android phone for that matter.
ReplyDeletemeron na ba naka try mag viber call (or any other voip app like Line)sa inyo using cherry mobile skyfire?
Yung problem sakin, naririnig ko yung kausap ko pero hindi nila ako naririnig. PArang feeling ko naka disable yung mic nya pag voip yung ginagamit mo. I tried putting it on speaker and headset pero hindi talaga.
Nag research ako and found another skyfire user who cant make calls with viber (probably hindi rin sya marinig ng kausap nya).
Nico sa tingin mo ba may remedyo to? or maaayos ba to ng Rooting?
sir!
Deletenangyari na sakin yan sa lahat ng mobile phones na may mediatek processor. either hindi marinig or umaalingawngaw ang viber. tried it with chery mobile phones and myphones na may MTK. i tried a phone na may snapdragon, flare and cloudphone thrill, ok sya sa viber. so far sa viber lang ako may issue, I tried the A919i MTK proc sa Line, ok naman,
bakitung skyfire ko, okey nmn gamitin sa skype,, knabahan ako lastnyt s mga ganyan kya, nag try kami ng friend ko mag vid-call... okey naman..
Deleteim planning to buy new phone this coming friday, and im thinking to buy Samsung galxy S duos, maka Samsung kasi ko., pero kung Cherry mobile b bibilin ko, tatagal kaya? baka kasi pag bumili ko ng Skyfire o ng OHD eh nd magtgal, im using Samsung mini and matino pa din xa for almost 2 years.. suggestion lng po
ReplyDeleteMatibay b ang Cherry mobile?? baka kasi hindi man lng umabot ng isang taon sakin yan, hindi kasi ko ganun kaingat.. im a samsung user din kasi.. any comment po
ReplyDeletegood day. ask ko lang po kung anong mobile phone ang malaki ang phonebook capacity to save. for business use po kasi, need to save thousands of contacts. thanks. :-)
ReplyDeletehello po sa adviser :-) ask ko lng po ano ba talaga mas pinaka maganda omega or skyfire?
ReplyDeletesa specs pareho lang, sa camera lang ang lamang ng ohd 2.0 at sa viewing ng video may grid view na sya, pareho po kc akong meron ng skyfire 2.0 at ohd 2.0.

ReplyDeleteHi! plano ko pong bumili ng OMEGA HD 2.. kaso yung ibang mga comments na nakikita ko, natatakot tuloy ako kasi baka masayang hard earned 9k ko. hahaha. Other reviews look good though. Sana maglast without mega defect and complications :/
