hi....i wanna ask which android would be a good and affordable android?....should i just get a htc magic?....or wait for x10 to drop the price?...or should i wait till Q3 this year for more upcoming android phones?

well, i duno which is the most affordable android phone but if u wanna "try" android phones..
i suggest maybe getting 2.1 and above as 1.6 is slow and lack a lot of stuff...
For X10, it's very expensive, even HTC Desire is cheaper...
X10 now doesn't support multitouch support but there's a rumor that a future update would enable that..

magic is one of the best atm.give it a try,u dont hv 2 jump 2 high-ends android directly,trade slowly

erm...sorry im still new....2.1 and 1.6 meaning?...the software?....anyways thanks for the tip

Windows Vista upgrade to Windows 7? Yes,it's the OS version

get milestone. AP set already cheap lor

HTC Tattoo is the most affordable Android for now.. RM999
But small screen only... 2.8"
Magic.. A lot of work u have to do coz it's using old Android platform(1.5 if i'm not mistaken)..
Desire, Legend, Hero..
And if u r the person who looks for designation, go for X10.. Mediascape and Timescape by Sony is Brilliant!!
But for now.. If u wanna give a try.. Go for Tattoo 1st..

go for tattoo for Android newbie.. below 1k

Is it true that Sony Xperia X10 don't support multi-touch pinch zoom?

I know the Google Nexus ONE and Motorola DROID/Milestone can do the pinch zoom like iPhone.

now not support,
heard that later the 2.1 firmware will support

dont get x10 if u go for productivity. get it if u wan multimedia typed of phone

I'd suggest go at least to HTC magic instead of Tattoo...

Why???

i am following this thread as well.. i need the same advise

HTC is china brand?? any problem from this brand??

HTC is from Taiwan if i not mistaken...

Wat u think make Microsoft wanna buy over HTC???

good news if microsoft can take over it.. at least microsoft have strong support to improve it..

so far HTC have good reputation, am i correct?

besides, here is a stupid question, all andriod phone can access internet via browser like on computer??

Very good...

Of coz can la...

my friend who own a tattoo complains a lot of it...e.g. some apps might not render properly due to the smaller screen size, the resistive screen is not as good as the capasitive one, the camera lack of auto focus thus some camera-related apps are not supported.....

Why don't you ask can the phone make calls?

i would suggest HTC Legend or motorola milestone the least (according to non contract, AP price) .. worth putting money in for it as it supports most of the features and doing not so bad compared to the 1ghz slightly expensive snapdragon monsters

TS what are you looking for in an android phone.
Different android phones have different OS support, and different level of ROM features.

If you want it for basic usage, get either the magic, hero, or milestone.
All 3 are good but depends on your preferred interface.

Magic or hero! As for the tattoo..resistive screens are sooo not android

Htc tattoo if u want budget phone..tattoo can said run everything but the camera and the screen only (but less developer)rm 900

Htc Magic and HTC hero would be perfect phone for you to explorer this and that you will learn alot from here (Experience the minimum 1st)rm 1500-1600

HTC legend if u have a lil bit more budget then HTC Hero currently original set at rm 1900

When u feel the bored time to upgrade to motorola Droid same processor as 3gs even better (rm 2000+)

The highend phone and madness krazy speed is HTC desire and be hold of Nexus one (my favorite phone)rm 2200 for the expert

price change vary check with lyn handphone sales

1 month has passed since the last post, now that wildfire is out, what do you guys think of the most affordable android phone considering the cost and the features?

Agreed with you bro, and it has 2.1

how about htc Wildfire..i own a Motorola Milestone..i happy with it

i will recommending se x10 interface is better but temperory is 1.6 but dont worry you can update til 2.0

I would suggest Legend or Desire. You can get it cheap if you dont mind to be tied with 12months contract with maxis.

Legend is a good choice as well..

yup, Desire is just a successor for Legend. Before that Legend was the best.

Most affordable? Uhmm, I think Wildfire lah (RM1,199) Even CSL oso got Android now (RM1,099) but the camera quite teruk lah no AF somemore. Between those two, I think Wildfire better - newer OS, camera got AF with LED flash, only the reso quite lame.

If can spend somemore I think Samsung's Galaxy i7500 (about RM1,399) is nice. Quite old model and very difficult to get now. OS is ver 1.-something, but I think upgradeable. The screen is AMOLED. Cheapest AMOLED Android I can think of, and picture quality is dam good.

Was walking around Digital Mall yesterday, and was told by some dealers than HTC's Android ver 1.-something phones are being "recalled" and discontinued. No stock for Magic, Tattoo and Hero. So the most affordable from HTC would be Wildfire, which they had no stock oso 'coz selling like hotcakes

If you don't mind going to SG, I think got more choices there some models may be cheaper, but warranty is SG local.
