Heard SiS stock coming in this end of April and pricing is around 2k..
Nexus on the other hand, would be released here officially around July,if i heard correctly..
PDA Expert already have Nexus, priced at 2.6k at their stores..

About Ori Vs AP theory again, been using HTC ori since quite some time.
What I can tell you is, so far, No problem with my ori set even after 2 years..
So, I'll let you people judge XD
Its just extra about 200-300 only..
As someone said here, better get the peace of mind and assurance..

XD
Gonna write 2 HTC later, asking for review sets..
Crossing my fingers then XD

Ipad around this month too,i heard..
Retails around..

XD

Android is indeed growing..
WinMo is currently on hold due to winmo 7, maemo still attract less ppl XD
Therefore, join the android bandwagon..
Love HTC legend bcoz of multitouch..
I wonder if i will see more android multitouch support or not..
Android seriously need to fix their Messaging system though~~

yea, what's the problem with messaging?
interested to get one soon
*
Its not bad..
I just don't like to see one line when i SMS..
I like to see the whole text like winmo..
Like Android, you can only see 1 line..

But with Milestone, its ok la coz got landscape when you slide out the QWERTY thingy..

HTC Desire should be a better phone compare to Nexus One.
but I wander why the price is cheaper?
*
Because lack of some function and have lesser quality in body construction materials~

desire definitely runs on snapdragon..

desire is cheaper becoz it lacks few hardware i guess.. like the 2nd mic for noise cancellation, also the material is more to plastic and rubberized plastic.. i read somewhere that nexus is more solid and desire does produce click sounds esp at the back cover..

google does almost everything that desire has, except Sense ui, physical button, trackpad and extra ram..

physical button, trackpad, and extra ram is not that costly..
*
oppsie..
Typo-ed..
Thanks for the correction..
Been working with phone too much today..
Eyes blur liao..

Anyway,Desire ish plastic as stated..
Maybe cheaper bcoz of that?
Steel price exp lately XD

Fuiyo... 3K wow... shocking.gif

Most of the Machines shop mentioned it is June onwards. But I know a reliable source mentioned some time 2x April 2010 in Singapore and followed by Malaysia.
Actually Sense UI is the winner here. Doesn't matter whether it lacks the 2 function. I don't think they are show-stoppers. Sense UI really complements the Android platform. So this is a good thing for us. Cheaper and more important functions/features.

Erm, My sources inside Apple say April can see few units getting off the shores liao de~
XD
3k is converted price from USA..
Not yet calculate tax n etc btw..

when htc wants to come out with snapdragon phone and full qwerty? tongue.gif  guess i'll have to wait, wait and wait..

Lol..
I play with phone for a living..
You say leh?
laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif
HTC snapdragon is HD2, the beast XD
Well, wait till they remake Touch pro 2 and put snapdragon + winmo 7 lo~

Samsung Galaxies uses Samsung's own ARM Cortex A8. Actually all we know at the moment is that the application processor is 1GHz. Snapdragon is Qualcomm and I think there's a very slim chance Samsung would use another company's core.
Well for RM2450, I would rather wait a little longer. Of course, if iPAD never made it here or will take more than 1 year... then why not...
*
The PAD is coming around July lol~
Dun worry..
Plenty of people Selling PAD, albeit its not Apple de~

Nice comment from an iphone user!
From what i heard, HTC multitouch is not as good as iphone but now I am convinced that it is good!

Erm, played with Desire for 20 minutes, i think in terms of sensitivity of the screen and multitouch, iphone might have the edge still..
But Desire done a good job with it already LOL~

personally i do not believe the desire will break 2.5k....i hv asked around and the retailer said most likely will be around 2.4-2.6k....if more than 3k is too expensive....judging that desire doesn't come wif large internal storage...
*
Desire will land here around 2.2k actually..
Because HTC is not going to kill of legend's sale with such low price for desire~
I am hoping Digi has a postpaid EPP plan for this baby~

Anyway, something cool to Android fans~
Love this??
Quoted -

"Android ported to the iPhone, Steve Jobs loses his sleep"



Quoted from my pal in the Mobile phone section XD

So you are saying iphone 3gs is better in battery life, even if we do the same activities on both phone in 3g network?
*
Battery life?
Both fare pretty decent if you can conserve maximum battery usage..
I could squeeze 1day n half frm 3GS and 1 day on the Desire..
Mild texting, some music, Gps for 5 min, and several 5 min calls..
That's if you turn off 3G, Wifi and dim the screen to maximum..

QUOTE(avengers88 @ May 4 2010, 01:40 AM)
so iphone is better in terms of multi touch ??
oh man it's so difficult to choose whether iphone or desire .
sumore iphone 4g coming out =.=
*
Multitouch is Iphone's forte..
So far, its safe to say that no phone have yet come close 2 match Iphone's input n responsiveness of the screen..
Nexus n Desire came closer, but Iphone still have the edge in multitouch n screen~
Not that Desire is not good, its great..
Only the screen lose out slightly to Mr.Apple~"

QUOTE(bryan_823 @ May 4 2010, 11:21 AM)
Hi all the Disire fans, is this phone available in Malaysia now? Or any idea when it will be released here? what is the price range like??
*
>"<
Many people already answered..
TS, mind updating to 1st page telling people..
Ap sets available, Ori yet to release..
Expected release End of May or perhaps Early June is unlucky..
Price range, above legend and below HD2~"
You try calculate yourself and please read back many those by the "sifus" here..
I still noob with Android laugh.gif
No need 2 reply asking or guessing the price..
It hinders official discussions..
