My budget is sub RM1k
currently thinking of X8, Optimus One and Optimus Chic (Optimus Chic available in Malaysia?)

------------------------------------

Advantage of X8
-Cheap RM760
-*16M colour screen (but i read somewhere saying that the display is not actually 16M)
-Design wise seems to be better than Optimus One

Disadvantage of X8
-BIGGEST of all is Slow software updates being stuck at Android 2.1 resulting in Apps being unable to install in SD card
-Camera no Autofocus
-no multitouch
-single widget
-somewhat low RAM

------------------------------------

Advantage of Optimus One
-multitouch
-camera with autofocus
-2.2 Froyo and can upgrade to 2.3 Gingerbread
-big battery
-512mb RAM

Disadvantage of Optimus One
-3MP camera compared to Optimus Chic
-video @18fps
-256k colour compared to X8's 16M*

------------------------------------

Advantage of Optimus Chic
-nice design
-5mp camera
-multitouch
-camera with autofocus
-2.2 Froyo and can upgrade to 2.3 Gingerbread

Disadvantage of Optimus Chic
-a bit pricier i think but i heard it might be cheaper than Optimus One too
-battery smaller than Optimus One
-review shows that buttons must be pressed harder
------------------------------------

i don't know whether Optimus Chic will be out in Malaysia or not and I don't know the price, though i estimate it to be below 1k or not more than 1.1k.
anyone have solid info about this?
i wud prefer to get X8 but from the complains i read in various forums about X8 really scares me.

all in all, it's between O1 and OC.
summarizing it, OC has nicer design and better camera. O1 has bigger battery. wat would u guys choose and why?

Simple la huh.. u want slide or don wan slide? U wan spoil faster or not so fast? Ask this 2 question u can decide dy.

Err but DHD's screen looks washed out.
Not very a fan of qwerty phones now.

believe me in so small screen of these models u listed u it is really hardly to notice the difference between 16M colour and 262k colour. Even 16M and 65k also hard to sense the difference in so small screen. U should consider the PPI 1st.

but specifications sheet doesn't state the PPI...guess i'll have to look at the units with mine own eyes first...

The X8 has 192 PPI while the Optimus One has 180 PPI, not much of a difference if you ask me.

Info was found here: http://www.compare-cellphones.org/LG-Optim...csson-Xperia-X8

no much of a difference between these 2 models + 1,unless ur eyes are super sensitive.

DHD also has battery life problem. It is only 1300mAh... sad

To your question, O1 and OC are rougly the same. If you have a higher budget go for OC. I have not heard of the button problem though. I recommend you get the OC if you use the camera often. Chances are it might get 720p too if it doesn't already have it. x8 is not a choice. Bad screen size/old firmware/cheap build and many more. In the sub 1k range the only phones worth buying are the Huawei IDEOS/Samsung Galaxy 5/Optimus One. Thats it i guess.

i don't see anyone selling OC yet though...would like to have a look at it before deciding...

Yea. The O1 seems to be the talk of the town instead of the higher spec-ed OC.

the only real differences between O1 and OC would be some memory, battery and camera, isnt it? and still, both aint got no flash

the memory difference is almost negligible since it's only 20MB difference in the internal memory. both have 512MB RAM. so the main difference is the camera and 18fps video vs 30fps video, battery and of course the design

both have multi-touch, it isn't written here in O1's spec list but it's written in the review. if you look at chic's design, u wud know y i dilemma over O1 and OC

have look at em both and yea, in quite a dilemma too, though im more inclined to O1. not sure bout the texture of the body for OC though whether its plastic or rubberized plastic..

but if its you, which would you choose?

i don't know dat's y i dilemma LOL!

Alright, last choices, DHD or Nexus S ?

nexus s!..dhd apa barang..same like HTC HD ja gua tgk...hehe

It depends on what your looking for bro.

Nexus S has a nice SuperAMOLED screen but lacks the MicroSD card slot. But got stock gingerbread.

DHD is huge, got MicroSD card slot, but kinda lacks in battery life. (CM 7 is also kambing )

It's up to you bro.

do u make video calls? if yes then u need nexus s lol...

personally i wud go for htc dhd..

i just noticed, some site says nexus s comes with 8mp n gsmarena says 5mp...which is true?

same here. my vote goes to DHD. yea its amoled vs tft lcd when it comes to display and dhd lacks the front facing cam, but as far as im concerned, people rarely make any video-calls. DHD specs are nice and apart from the batt (which isnt such a hassle for me) it should be the one till dual core arrived later this year (i hope, i think)
