Thx for fast replies. Currently budgeted less. Round up around 1k.
Or if delay purchase would buy roughly 1.5k again.
Bro using Desire, fren using milestone. both decent but wanna get something diff ><!
Was thinking of going cheap at Aria/wildfire.
But its a downgrade of screen from amoled(current phone -samsung jet)to TFT .
For samsung galaxy S, dont really like samsung UI. due to samsung jet.
Preferences towards htc phones. !

i got htc Legend rm1200 from LYN

better dun pick wildfire, its QVGA resolution with large 3.2" screen

if u dun want Milestone, rm1.5k can get X10 AP set, which I believe will get its 2.1 update soon

other than that, u can try ur luck with Legend, or Galaxy 3

Aria isnt bad, it's about the same as Legend. Only screen is not amoled. Aria is 799 with DiGi contract.. not bad...

Bear in mind that most budget android phones comes with smaller screen resolution than the standard Android resolution which is 800x480pixels.

You will have a problem with certain apps or games that don't support smaller screen resolution. For example the game Angry Bird. My friends on HTC Legend and Wildfire cannot play it because their screen resolution is smaller than the Android standard resolution.

So far 1 phone comes to mind that is affordable yet have the standard Android screen resolution is:


Size 480 x 800 pixels, 3.5 inches

Hm..Yeah i hate having small resolution. I think i would be saving up for a higher end android phone.
wouldn't wanna be fuming over the screen res while the rest rocks.
I think wildfire/aria is out. Any future release phones with this specs?

Specs:
Amoled
3.2in above
capacitive screen, 800x480pixels
best if 1ghz
htc sense ui & android (froyo)
DivX/XviD video support out-of-the-box
YouTube client, Facebook and Twitter integration
Built-in GPS receiver with A-GPS support
SMS ( threaded view)
5mp camera


OR a win7 phone? is it advisable?

Have you considered X10? Super clear 4" screen, 1gHz processor, 1gb ROM, probably best camera sensor on Android, 2.1 update rolling out end of this month, excellent audio quality, and of course you can get it from 1.5k and below now

Urm urm i thought a number of phones getting 2.2 (froyo) ? X10 at 1.6 upgrade to 2.1 end of this month...
not really that catchy =P. anyway thx for ideas . any others ?

Yeah, but what you don't know is SE always backport features, like we have bluetooth file transfer, usb tethering and live wallpaper already at 1.6, all without rooting It'll be the same with 2.1, plus the camera and video recording can only get better

live wallpaper?
is it the one called ambient launcher?

Yep, AmbientTime Home from SE Japan

off topic a bit..something wrong with ur fren's wildfire..im using magic n can play angry bird smoothly..n yes, some games cant play, juz not angry bird..

hurm..stil didnt try angry bird yet....angre angre aariiiba
