I bought mine last August 10, 2010 at Shangri-La Plaza Mall for 999php and has a 1-year warranty.
The package includes:
- Unit
- Chager - USB type
- Battery - 120 hours STANDBY, 2 hours talk time
- Rating capacity: 400 mAh
- Standard voltage: 3.7 V
There are many colors to choose, but i picked the dark blue color.
I opened the back cover of it and it says: cherry mobile MODEL: P1i
and there is also a IMEI number on it. I ask the saleslady about the difference of P1 and P1i and she said, P1i is actually an upgraded version of P1 called Cherry Mobile P1i.
I don't really know what are those features/things that have been upgraded from the first version which is p1, but P1i is open line, and I'm using a Globe sim on it. It has a 3-line LCD with only 1 light for the screen (it's fine though) and the menus are:
- Short Message
- Phonebook
- Call Records
- Settings
- Alarm
- Extra
- and the Simcard Menu
So let's go further on each menu.
- Short Message
- Read message
- Write message
- Outbox
- Draftbox
- Voice mail
- Message setup
- Broadcast message
- Delete all
- Phonebook
- Create
- SIM phonebook
- Storage status
- Delete all entries
- Call records
- Incoming call
- Outgoing call
- Missed call
- Call duration
- Settings
- Phone settings
- Network settings
- Call settings
- Profiles
- Alarm
- (3 sets of alarm here)
- Extra
- Calculator
- Sim menu (mine is Globe menu)
When I bought this, the battery has a charge already (not that full of course).
I bought my P1 on August 10 @ around 9pm, and the battery charge last 'til August 11 @ around 7pm, so that is around 22 hours. All I did that time was to check the features of the phone and I didn't make any sms 'coz I'm using my primary phone which is a 6120classic.
Last night August 11 @ around 10pm, I went home and finally had the chance to charge my phone.. My P1 is switch off that time when I charged it 'coz the battery charge was totally drained. At around 10:45pm, I noticed that the screen is flashing "battery full!". So the drained battery was fully charged for more or less 45minutes.
Few things to know about your P1:
- Long press * to make the keypad locked
- Press *### to know its version,etc.
- And it has a face protector (not that obvious)
- I only knew about it when my mom borrowed my P1, and after a few minutes I noticed that she was already removing a transparent plastic on the face of my P1 and I was like "OMG!! ma, what did you do?!!!". And she said "I was just removing the cover of your new phone." LOL!
As of now, August 12, 2010. As I am making this blog/review about Cherry Mobile P1, I tried its sms feature(just now.. LOL! stupid!) and I send a message to my primary phone and OLAH! it's fine... "message sent successfully" and I received the message on my primary phone.
I am still observing how long the battery life will last. ^^,
