China Mobile Phone CrossX CB 90

Gong Xi Fat Choi n Happy Valentine’s Day 2010..

A few days ago, I bought a China Mobile Phone, the one that recently we could find easily in the market, CrossX CB 90. Actually it should be bundled with a starter pack of pre-paid card, but because I bought it not in an official shop, I’ve got nothing but the phone only. It was also more expensive than the official one, but it is still cheaper than famous brand mobile phone. Can you find a Rp 800rb (eight hundred thousand rupiah) mobile phone with Rp 2jt (two million rupiah) mobile phone features? Honestly, I bought it because I am interested to its features, such as Shake Sensor, Mobile Modem and 1.3 Mpx Camera. Nice, huh?

The first thing that I wanted to try on my phone was its shake sensor. I open its manual book, and I found nothing about Shake Sensor!!! Damn it!!! Then I tried to open all menus in my phone. I found Shake Sensor Setting, I changed some of them. Turn it off, and turn it on. Open its media player, chose some song, and play one of them. Then.. shake it.. up and down, up and down.. nothing happen!! The song played was still the same. Damn it, again!!!

I tried another feature, mobile modem. Hah.. where is the driver? I didn’t find any disc on the box. So how could I use the modem? My pc would not recognize this modem. Wooaa… damn it, again.. and again!!! I am so disappointed with this China Mobile Phone!!! Then I though, yeah.. what can we got with a Rp 800rb mobile phone? Don’t wish to much… :-)

But.. something happen when my wife hold this mobile phone. She accidentally shake it.. right and left, right and left.. we heard some strange voice, and we saw that its wallpaper was changed!!! Hey, it worked!!! We shake it again and again, and it changed its wallpaper too. Nice.. nice.. so one feature has been proven, this mobile phone has shake sensor.

Now what? Did this mobile phone really has a modem in it? I have to know. I took its usb cable, and plug into my notebook. This mobile phone was recognized as MT6225 USB Device. I tried to find the driver on internet. I saw there were many people also looking for this driver. And, at last, I found it after I read some discussion forum about China Mobile Phone.

I plug my usb cable into my notebook again, and browse the driver I have downloaded. Then my notebook recognized it as 6218 Mobile Modem. I tried to find the driver again. Unfortunately, I was not as lucky as before. I found nothing about 6218 Mobile Modem.

But, in another discussion forum about China Mobile Phone, I got interesting information. Someone wrote that he could use Taxco DM 79 modem driver as 6218 Mobile Modem driver, because it use the same hardware. I though I should try it. I downloaded the driver, and installed it into my notebook. And… you know what… It worked!!!!!

Wooohhoo.. I’ve got Rp 800rb mobile phone with Rp 2jt mobile phone features!!! I think I started to love China Mobile Phone. :D

  2. Hi

    Thanks for sharing, I bought CB90 for only Rp.675k yesterday,very cheap huh :) ! But I have not tried to use it as modem.

    I also bought it because it has many features that phone 2jtan has, like dual GSM, FM Radio,MP3/MP4,camera 1.3 MP,..and many more

    I was thinking, I dont have to buy the expensive one if the cheaper is avalaible..it’s not about brand or style..it’s about how the thing you have useful for you :) !

    So I am hoping this CB90 won’t disappoint me!

    • yup… I hope too.. :)

      As far, I haven’t been disappointed by this CB90. It’s still working fine, although its camera doesn’t give high quality picture if we use it indoor. But we can increase its quality by using Night Mode. The one, that I still can’t find how to use, is its webcam. I can take a picture through my pc, but my IM doesn’t recognize it as webcam. I have the driver, but my WinXP doesn’t know it. I hope someday I can find the right driver for WinXP.

      Btw, thanks for you comment..

  3. I’ve found another interesting feature in CrossX CB90.. at first, I think it just has java application, but we can’t add other new java applications. I was wrong!!!!!

    We can add other java applications. Just add your java application (*.jar or *.jad) into one folder, then browse it through file manager. Choose option, then install. Just it… :)

  4. DRIVER LINK IS BROKEN. SHIT.
