Let me get the bad things out of the way first ok? First I don't like the design I mean c'mon Cherry!! can you be the lazy... it just looks exactly like flare only bigger due to the screen, Second again its only 512 of RAM so we can forget Jellybean update on this one, Third Battery Life is lower than that of flare, with that being said this is still a must have phone!! you can never go wrong with ICS, I had a couple of issue with the 3g connectivity I think its my carrier, i'll just have to wait and see, touch responsiveness is spot on, GPS works perfectly, I cant find anything wrong with the phone apart from how it looks, yes you have lower battery life but its something I can live with, If your planning on getting flare... DON'T!! Save up Money GET THIS!!! the quality if the display is amazing and that snapdragon Proc is simply a joy to have on this device!!! Its a great come back for cherry after that disappointing CM:Blaze, Forget Myphone, O+ and Starmobile... this is the phone that you should get next... trust me.. its worth every penny...

@dirk14: yes its a rebranded karbonn A21 from india... what baffled me is the design is very very similar to that of the flare the only difference is the size of the unit...

battery life sir? same as flare?

[dirk14]

Duol na cya sa titan ug price in comparison to the titan which would be better.... Mura sa screen res ra lupig ang titan?.. You said battery life is lower than the flare... Meaning mas dali ma lo bat?
