Cherry Mobile Flare: Ultimate phone but.. ALWAYS Out-of-Stock!?!

Cherry Mobile Flare
Cherry Mobile Flare has been a crowd favorite eversince its first major release last November 2012.  It is said to be a hit even for the masses since it is a Big-Bang-for-the-Buck.  Despite of its raging issues with its battery capacity.  It is still loved by many.  I am not only a blogger but I am also a gadget lover, so in search for this precious find, I tried looking for stocks of this best buy unit.  I tried looking for this phone from the far North of Metro Manila all the way down to the Southern part, and I just found out that of the almost 20 kiosk or concept stores of Cherry Mobile, only 3 of them has a stock.  But here is the worst part of the story, it was OVERPRICED!!!  Come to think of it, if you are a simple student or an average employee who just saved up 4,000 pesos for several weeks or months, and there you are stuck in the middle of nowhere and having heard the sales person telling you that the price of Cherry Mobile Flare is already 4,699 pesos, some stores would give you 4,499 pesos.  I also saw a mobile shop in a mall that priced this unit for 5,299 pesos.  WHAT IS THAT?! I thought that the price is 3,999 pesos...  There goes the supply and demand thing!  I knew that this would happen.  Since it was a big hit, definitely the businessmen behind this would barely increase their prices.  It is okay to increase given that you get some additional stuffs like back covers, jelly case, or microSD maybe, but for the majority of them, it was just a BASIC package.


CM Flare:  Out-of-Stock OR Faced-out?!

Lets face it!  Cherry Mobile Flare was the Goddess of Dual-core Android phones despite of its minor flaws.  But majority of the consumers now are having a big question mark on their faces.  Is Cherry Mobile Flare still available or faced-out already?!  Up to this very moment, Cherry Mobile is not releasing any formal announcement about it but some who are desperate enough to have one would just plunge to the overpriced phone retail.  

Flare is really a good buy, but how would we get one if we can't buy one?!  I still hope that they would still release or continue this unit despite the "battery" issue.  Kudos Cherry Mobile for a job well done and for bringing this powerful phones to the masses.
