Folks who haven’t had the chance to buy their own Cherry Mobile Orbit Dual-SIM Dual-Standby Android phone from the 50% Off Sale last month now have a second chance. The local phone manufacturer will be having another sale of the device on June 30, 2011 and it’ll still be at the half off price of PHP 6,499. (Regular price is PHP 13k.) If you missed the first sale and are still waiting for another chance, then you’ll have it this coming Thursday.
The phone is a dual-SIM/Standby phone running Android 2.2 Froyo with a 528Mhz Processor, 3.2 480×320 screen, 5MP Camera with LED, VGA video recording, WiFi b/g, and an FM receiver among the usual Android connectivity features. At PHP 6.5k, it should be one of the cheapest available Android phones you can get. So if you’re looking for a dual-SIM Android bargain, the Orbit just might be for you.
Since we bought one during the May 19 sale, we’ll make sure you can read up on our review and impressions on the phone within the week. So if you’re on the fence about buying one, just stay tuned and read our articles before making that decision.
Check out the flyer below for all the details on the sale.

Sale again?! Either super successful or madami lang stocks… Anyways meron cherry mobile kiosk sa sm pampanga dun sa bagong gawa na wing… Baka meron dun… From what ive been reading, batt issue pinaka complain diba? Pero sana an update would fix it!!
Cherry Mobile released the update to 2.2.2 and it pretty much fixed the battery issues that we’ve noticed before. Definitely a lot more stable too.
Not sure why there’s another sale happening, but the amount of interest it gathers per sale seems pretty profitable for PR, I guess.
BTW, in unrelated news, there’s a video of the HTC Sensation we took above on a different article, there’s also an HTC Flyer video but we weren’t able to test the stylus. Finally, just before we write about it, the HTC Evo 3D GSM is finally official and will reach Europe in a few months. (All HTC news not intended.)
