at least we don't need to worry about screen being scratched for HD2

They scratch ur screen and ask you to pay for it?

Yup the screen is so tough knife also cannot scratch according to mobilehornet

erm... out of topic : did anyone know where can get 32GB SDHC memory card ? PC Fair ??

like tat still need screen protector or not o

Screen protector is to protect from scratches.. since it's scratch proof.. what do you think?

I believe it's scratch resistant.. not scratch proof

iPhone is scratch resistant yet many have scratched screens

lol, darkmage wanted to pay 3.5k for hd2 initially.
thank god it's not that expensive...

Acer F1 is launching next week, great specs and comparable to HD 2 and i heard the price is around 2k only.

of course if ppl want something around 2k or lower, the f1, or also known as the s200 neotouch is also a good choice.

neotouch still maintain the resistive touchscreen, good for handwriting which hd2 suck at.
in terms of hardware, they are almost the same.
but don't forget, software is also important.
ppl might have to go putting spb mobile shell in neotouch to improve the usability.

also, the built quality is not as good as HD2 and some have called the body 'plasticky'.
so ppl might have to consider that they've paid 2k for good hardware inside but the outside feels and looks like the phone might be worth much more cheaper.

i'm not saying the neotouch is not good, but i jz wanna highlight the few drawbacks that come with the lower price.

i will still be using a screen protector

i will jump now~! check this out

well said well said. either way i'm probably staying away from both, until there's a front cam, a smaller screen (HD2 wont fit in my pocket) and maybe qwerty. or something which the SNAPDRAGON can really show off with. from what i see with PS games for example, the difference is sort of negligible. yea there's improvements, but nothing to really make me go gaga yet.

i'm afraid if next year there's an iphone with front cam, the SNAPDRAGON may be too little, too late. but i'll wait and see.

i probably wanna do some FPS test between the SNAPDRAGON and QUAKE 3. lol, so when anyone here buys the device can we maybe meet up to do some field tests? haha

Nice phone. I just bought HTC touch2.. money not enough to buy HD2.. huhu

is it true??? well have to check with my resources soon .... if it is true then

I doubt the americans would put a front camera in Iphone as their telco service is bad. Esp AT&T

so is the launching of HD2 tomorrow available for us to attend as well?

wanna highlight some camera problems in case some of u dont know

HD2


NEOTOUCH


example in normal usage




If you dont like this camera quality, pls check before buying.
it's only very obvious during certain conditions like when taking white objects or in low light.
if you are taking scenery with lots of green, a bit reddish/pinkish is not obvious.

Some say that it might be solved with newer ROM, or the units need to be replaced.
Some say their units no problem (or they didnt notice)!

Anyway, you can test on the spot to see if this happens, just focus on a white background.
the pink spot will even appear on the screen before taking picture or
you can check the picture after you take it to see if its there.

Yup, the "red tint" of camera photos is a known issue, seems to most apparent when used in auto mode, and can be reduced by using Outdoor/indoor modes etc:

HTC's camera really is consistently disappointing

Even the prototype/preview version of Xperia X10 camera is miles ahead:

the keyword here is 'reduced', the problem is still there.
just advicing to proceed with caution.
else, later got 1 bloke come up and say, "eh, the pictures so weird one??".
