While the best thing that we have so far is a teaser in lieu of an official announcement, it looks like the Cherry Mobile Blade (or Razor Blade) is already official in Thailand.
A phone unveiled in that country last month, complete with specs including the specified 7.7-mm thickness—the sole detail hinted in the teaser—as well as a pic with the word “Razor” on it, is most likely the same phone that soon will be introduced in the Philippines.
The complete specs can be found in the Thai source website, Siamphone.com, but we have taken the liberty to list the most important ones below. You may also notice that some specs aren’t found in the aforementioned website, such as battery capacity, but are actually retrieved from other sources.

What it all the local brands sporting smartphones with similar specs, the Cherry Mobile Razor Blade seemingly fails to set itself apart from the Android crowd. Its razor thin body, on the other hand, certainly can grab the attention of interested buyers.
Nevertheless, the specs are overall up to standard. In fact, when you compare Blade to the recently announced Cherry Mobile Thunder 2.0, the former actually fares better because of sporting double the system memory (at 1GB), slimmer dimensions, better screen resolution, and more.
No pricing information has yet been revealed by Cherry Mobile Philippines, but the Blade is reported to be already sold in Thailand for around THB6,999 (or around PHP9,832 in today’s exchange rate). We’ll update this post with more information as soon as we receive more reports or official word from Cherry Mobile itself.

An update based on the review of unbox, hindi sensitive ang touch screen ng Razor Blade kaya kwidaw kayo at mahirap pinditin and keyboard niya. May this serve as a warning to future buyers better be aware than sorry.
GUD AM, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY INTERNET CONNECTION W/ CM RAZOR 2.0. SUBSCRIBED WITH OPERA UNLISURF BUT HAVE A PROBLEM “DATA SERVICE IS BLOCKED. PLEASE HELP……….
Turn on Data Connection by dragging the topside of the LCD and tap “Data Service is Blocked” message – Tap Data Connection – Tap Your service provider
san po ba nakakabli nitong cherry mobile razor

To be fair – all discount brands have poor after sales.
_ALL_ of them.
I am no longer a cherry mobile fan because of their poor after sales service. I no longer get interested on new models. I discouraged my friends and relatives to buy this brand.
thats true
Sa barangay ka magreklamo!
I am just helping out probable victims of Cherry Mobile to take the risk if they are interested to buy any of their products. It seems you are an employee of CM and a loyalist. I dont blame you because you feed your family because of them. That is your right bro.
YOU COULD NOT HELP US… YOU DESTROY THE COMPANY REPUTATIONS… YOU MAY SHUT UP AND MIND YOUR OWN !!
DON’T BE SO DEFENSIVE BRO. YOU MUST APPRECIATE MY COMMENT AND TREAT IT POSITIVELY AND FIND A SOLUTION IN IMPROVING YOUR AFTER SALES SERVICE. I SUPPOSE WHEN YOU BUY AN APPLIANCE LIKE TV OR REFRIGERATOR YOU GET MAD IF YOU WILL HAVE LOUSY SERVICE. ACCEPT AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT, ITS FOR THE GOOD OF CHERRY MOBILE AS A COMPANY. THEY NEED THIS TO SUCCEED IN THE MOBILE PHONE BUSINESS. I KNOW CM IS BIG NOW, HOWEVER BIG COMPANIES FALL BECAUSE OF VARIOUS REASONS. LOOK WHAT IS HAPPENING TO NOKIA, BLACKBERRY. NOTHING IS PERMANENT IN THIS WORLD THE ONLY PERMANENT THING IS CHANGE. THIS WILL DO GOOD FOR CM AND I SUPPOSE THE OWNER WILL BE HAPPY TO GET NEGATIVE COMMENTS.
I ALSO NOT A FAN OF CM… THE FACT IS, IF YOUR NOT.. OR YOUR IS.. SHUT OFF DOING NEGATIVE COMMENTS..
