So here's my second review of the Cherry Mobile W900.
Last August 16, this phone is one month with me.
So I'll not be tackling most of the external parts anymore(for example the camera).
Speaker: I was not able to say something about this last review. Any ways the speaker is good if your in a room with a quiet environment. On the other hand if your in a room or place with so many talkative people,chances are your will get your earphones for better sound.
Battery: I think when you attained the so called ideal charging and discharging pattern the battery life will boost up upto 2 days. My batter life now is reaching two days(most of the time its on stanby with occasioanl texts) and one day if with internet plus moderate texts.
Screen: The smoothness of the screen is still there with slight lag when battery is lowbat(I dont know why?) and when many apps are running.
Tired with the quite boring UI? Well, I tried GO Launcher EX and GO Locker and the result is nice. The essence of an ICS update is there when your using the two apps. Using so will not cause any lag to the phone but the it's smoother of course when your using the default UI. But using both of these consumes pretty large RAM of estimated 70 mb when combined. By also using these, you can maximaize the features and use of the phone such as the default horizontally scrolling menu, you can choose with different varieties of choices. Take note, this is free.
Speed: Still like the one when I first used it.
Memory: The internal memory is okay for me although some say it's small but for me it's okay. While my SD Card memory is nearly filling.
Games: A wide variety of games is available for this phone. Although expect some lags especially with graphics heavy games. What I dont understand is why Temple Run is more laggy than that of Agent Dash(Agent Dash for me has heavier graphics than Temple Run).
Internet: One word: FAST(depending on connection XD) both with Wi-Fi and 3G and even EDGE/GPRS.
Things that will make this phone even better and greater?
>Well, an ICS update is a must, but until now theres no word from Cherry Mobile,probably it will be early next year or on the second quarter.
>JELLY CASE: until now theres no jelly case here in our place. They kept on saying next month bla bla bla. But when I checked CM's page in Facebook, I saw some jelly case for W900. If you saw some jelly case for this phone, can ou just please post it here.
Problems:
So far nothing.
The problem I presumed(screen turning on/off) isn't really a problem. When this happen to you, just go to running apps and kill Facebook or Google Play. Or if this does not resolve that, try to do a Soft Reset(as I call it..hehe..) by turning off the phone and removing the battery for 5 mins. When you turn it on again it will most probably be still like it but it will go away later on. I also learned that if you experienced this problem and it went gone the possibility of returning the problem is high when you will restart or turn the phone on.
Price is I dont know because it's unstable right now.
What I'm looking is an ICS update.
That's it, just see you in the next review after 1 year for my First Year review.
