MyPhone A878 Dual Core Smartphone revealed

After a few weeks of hype, local smartphone manufacturer MyPhone has finally revealed their latest Smartphone offering, a dual-core entry called the MyPhone A878. This seems to be a different model from what Chuckie Dreyfus had posted about on his blog All Chucked Up! [He mentioned it being a myPhone A898].

  

The company is performing the formal launch at Metrowalk, in Ortigas with the promo price of only P5,388, if you are a MyPhone Facebook fan. Instructions are included in their FB fan page for more details.

The specs include:

OS: Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich
Processor: 1Ghz Dual Core
LCD: 4.3" IPS Capacitive Touchscreen
Camera: 5MP with Flash and Auto-focus
Dual SIM
Wifi
Bluetooth
FM Radio
MP3/MP4/Sound Recorder
Sensor
GPS
TV-Out
 
One sore missing point would be the seeming lack of 3G/HSPA/LTE from the list of features, so if you plan on using mobile internet, that might need further clarification. I personally have not found an answer regarding that from their FB admins. 

Though, if you're like me, who's not as reliant on 3G/HSPA and could browse with relative ease or have constant access to Wi-Fi, this could be a good cheap phone to look into. Certainly cheaper than most entry level phones from Samsung and other Android OS manufacturers.
