i dont think so.. its depends on the pricing.. price war and spending power is the key factor here.. nowadays minimum features for phones are wi-fi, 3.2 auto-focus camera at least, 3g and memory slot. if lack of one of these and price is > RM1200, it will be dead...

Hmmm.....then i'll ask some question also.
Do you feel it is durable enough?
Does this phone reliable when you're in hurry? eg. car accident, urgent calling.
Can it handle multitasking? Like Play music with effects turning on + sending sms/mms rapidly or playing 3d games.
Mind to do some benchmark? with SPmark, Jbechmark 2.0, 3D....

Honestly E2 will scream hard when i play music without effect on and sending mms to myself. The phone like telling me it can't breathe anymore.

sometimes i feel too sensitive.. anyhow, u have to get used to it.. ya, the modeshift thingy is rather cool and useful.. but if the phone suddenly hang, u unable to press anything.. hehe..

Hmmm.....then i'll ask some question also.
Do you feel it is durable enough? i felt that it is durable.. the side/frame of the phone looks more solid than V8. the front i think is scratch resistant, will check before scratch it with car key..
Does this phone reliable when you're in hurry? eg. car accident, urgent calling. reliable? normal phone also can do that right? power on quite fast..
Can it handle multitasking? Like Play music with effects turning on + sending sms/mms rapidly or playing 3d games. no prob for multitasking. music will continue while changing equalizer, sending sms, take pics, play game provided game sound is off... but u will notice the phone menu browsing rather slower than usual..
Mind to do some benchmark? with SPmark, Jbechmark 2.0, 3D.... hmm, never try that before, will do it if have spare time. do provide me the link to download the programs..

Honestly E2 will scream hard when i play music without effect on and sending mms to myself. The phone like telling me it can't breathe anymore.

good question... refer above in blue..

* Speaker volume for music playback(max is 20) and FM radio were superb. Loud and clear, additional with Equalizer, Bass boost and 3D stereo options. Furthermore, came with 3.5mm stereo jack.
