Testing this phone 3 days ago, sales person told me it's RM1090. The price put me off, but I did demo the phone anyway.

The screen wasn't very responsive, and it felt like a resistive screen even though it states capacitive screen.
I did not try the browser to test if there was multitouch.

It was a little sluggish; which may be what led me to think that the screen is resistive, but that is not a fair statement as the demo set was loaded with apps running and did not have ATK. And by loaded I mean, the sales guy had video app, music app, google maps and several games running on the demo set.

And for RM1090, unfortunately for CSL, there are better choices for consumers out there. If it was priced at around RM600 consumers who want an android may consider this.

To be honest, as I said, I heard it from a friend who is working in a handphone distribution company. However, I checked out the processor part of it, it is running on the same processor as HTC Legend - Qualcomm MSM 7227 600 MHz processor. I found this from gsmarena and csl website.

I have to respect PrinceCaspien's patience to scroll through >240 pages in Alibaba to find the same phone, I gave up on the 10th page:stars:

Nevertheless, I'm quite open to China or Taiwan made phones.... which established brand is not made in China? HTC is from Taiwan.. old news.

I'm looking for an Android 2.1, not simply an Android. Anyone knows any Android 2.1 that is below RM1000?

can get for rm1199,just rm100 difference,you are right.

they run mapking in front of me..this phone default using 1.6firmware..the design n cover look cheap..since wildfire launch different only rm100..better get wildfire..

it is a china phone in local branding.
i try buy a asus netbook under csl. keyboard spoilt after six mths. repair jz 3-4 hours at their factory ,shah alam. no parking for customer, all parking are occupied by their big n rich CEO and managers. but it spoilt again in 2 mths time.
and not all CSL accept repair for IT product.

I think i will not dare to try for their product anymore.

yeap i-mobile also release android phone.but small one..price i think less than rm600

I don't really get CSL strategy on this product The marketing flaws aside, there's HTC Wildfire that is the competition in the RM1K bracket. Since Android is gaining so much momentum (I can just name Marketplace for example) I'm sure there's a lot who wants a bang-for-buck Android without putting to much upfront, both money and Maxis/Digi/Celcom tie downs.

IMHO, CSL could easily make this product sell extremely well.

Android is gaining lots of momentum now.
Kinda wanted to own one.

Just read this model on Mobile World Mag ... i'm wondering what's the screen resolution with this model. Any idea ???

should be 320 * 480 TFT screen

Thanks for the info ... i wonder if anyone tested the phone ?

honestly speaking, slim chance that someone owns the phone long enough to thoroughly test it. if i have the budget, i might as well go for wildfire which is around the same price.

if you are thinking of getting it, you should head to CSL center to have a hand on session with it. I did not have any hand on session with it,so im not really sure how it performs.

i also rather get wildfire or tattoo...

Thanks for all the information. Initially i was thinking of buying wildfire (but the low resolution is kinda making me think twice about it), but suddenly i read about CSL MI300 having a faster processor and a better resolution.

As for pricing wise, both are almost the same.

Branding wise - i think HTC is more convincing than CSL.

But does the low resolution in wildfire be an BIG effect for not able to use maximize the phone with so many available apps around ?

Anyway i haven't really have a feel and touch for the two phone. Perhaps should go test it out first.

P/S : Newbie here.

actually high or low resolution depends on what u do with the phone and what u need from the phone... do a hands on trial and see which 1 u can get used to...

sure got issue with firmware official update..unless u can root it urself

there are some apps that u cant use it on wildfire because of its resolution and the screen is quite blocky for me. i think get a magic that u can play with many kinds of roms after root is better. just my point of view

Thanks for the suggestion ... as i'm on a tight budget this moment ... n wanting to get an android phone ... so currently i'm thinking either CSL MI300 or HTC Wildfire ... both at RM 1099 - 1199.

i never own a touch screen mobile before, so what do i look for when i'm testing the touch screen mobile ?

*yesterday my friend was using a HTC (one of the older mode - wife's phonel) mobile (he is an iphone user), n he told me the screen is very sensitive when he was talking on the phone (i think some button was activated when his ear touches the screen - cause got disconnected few times). Do you guys encounter this with the later models ?

Later models with proximity sensors do not have such an issue.

Thanks for the info (was hoping they have a THANK button here)
