Hello pro's, want to get a new hp for my better half as her phone on it's last legs. She's currently using Nokia 6288.

1. Brand. - No Pref

2. Budget. - 2k or less.

3. Specs. - She's not techie, so user-friendly. Good for texting & calls. Compact & sturdy. Stylish & professional (no pink phones just coz she's a girl, she needs to take it to work!). Good talk time is a plus. Plan is to buy the phone sometime between now & Sept, so any phone to be released soon can also recommend.

4. Type/Size. Slider preferred, if touchscreen bar is alright.

Red is most important specs. Please recommend 2008/09 models only.

I get the price from Mobile Magazine. Sorry if the price is in-correct. Anyway I believe soon will drop to that price as the price at sing now is SGD$ 730 (this time definitely correct) means around RM 1770.

I love Samsung Pixon 12 also, but i still waiting on it, hehe ,,, as I love 12mega with Jet software. Ops....or Symbian...

The only phone I can think about it is "Samsung Star". For budget around RM 1k, they is not possible to get Touch phone with 5MP. Sorry dude. SE brand is even more impossible as they not out any full touch phone yet except Xperia which is far behind than your budget and I not recommended it due to it lagged issue.

Samsung Star Specification:
- 3 inch 262k WQVGA LCD
- 3.2MP camera fix focus (This phone is good under good sun condition, but not for night time as they don't have any flash)
- GSM phone (no 3G support)

* You may considered another similar phone, Samsung Star 3G (not yet release at Malaysia but already release at Singapore, this phone have LED flash, and 3G but smaller 2.8 inch QVGA 16M color screen and shall be around RM 1k to RM 1.1k)

Left: Samsung Star | Right: Samsung Star 3G (Preston)
