Post lang kayo ng mga update about sa phone na ito ng ma update natin itong thread sharing and tulungan fellow symbianizer......

Update:

Battery - 2000mah - around 10 hours before it drops to 20%

Update 2:

Pros:
1. Great performance for everyday tasks (browsing with multiple tabs open, email, social media apps, etc.)
2. Above average battery performance, so far I'm liking the qualcomm SOCs.
3. Good screen/display for the price.

Cons:
1. Cherry bloatware - Start Launcher w/ cherry themes (ugly and slow and can't be disabled/uninstalled without root)
2. The SMS app layout sucks. The message thread is cluttered when reading texts.

Update 3:

Omega Icon user here. Bought it last weekend. So far, so good, sulit sa presyo. Ok ang overall build, maganda ang combination ng aluminum side at plastic leather na back. Ok yung screen resolution na 294ppi, no lags din sa apps. 15990 ang score sa Antutu. Di ako gamer, so antayin na lang natin magpost mga gamers about sa performance ng Icon. Cons: 2gb lang ang effective storage for apps and files (let's wait pag may rooting instructions na at custom roms na pwede), walang LED notification and walang OTG support.

The kit includes a usb cable (the red rubber one with the cherry logo)...not an otg cable. Not sure with the durability of the pleather back cover...but its kinda thin.

So far, nice phone.

Pros:
1. Great performance for everyday tasks (browsing with multiple tabs open, email, social media apps, etc.)
2. Above average battery performance, so far I'm liking the qualcomm SOCs.
3. Good screen/display for the price.

Cons:
1. Cherry bloatware - Start Launcher w/ cherry themes (ugly and slow and can't be disabled/uninstalled without root)
2. The SMS app layout sucks. The message thread is cluttered when reading texts.

It's my first Cherry na I'm satisfied. In my past experience there is always one aspect na they sacrificed. For the Cherry Fusion Bolt tablet, nice screen, nice batt pero slow performance. For the flares & other Php4k Cherry phones, so so screen, ok batt, ok performance.

I'm liking the Omega Icon so far. Haven't tried heavy gaming on it though.

Sorry. Error in my post.

I was able to disable it. I used a startup manager to disable loading of the Start Launcher during bootup. But I can't uninstall it.

For movies, kuha ka na sa Omega icon. HD and bigger screen. The Flare screen is not so sharp.

 

[puge]

sir wala naman bang naging prob pag naka disable launcher nya? saka kaya ba ng 1080p icon? iniisip ko kase plastic leather case nya eh bka kumupas eh hahaha yung micromax nito yung orig pinapanuod ko youtube

may thread na pala nito kakabili ko lang kahapon,and satisfied ako so far lalo na sa cam,ok san yung front cam kaso parang iba ang color output pero sa back camok na ok colorfull talaga,siguro it needs to install another camera app baka may solution sa front cam color bug.. ok din naman sa games kaso parang medyo lag sa nba2k13 compare pag nilaro sa cm gem mabilis galaw ng mga tao
