Probably can max out at 1.8k though. whistling.gif

Anyway, whats the best Android qwerty keypad phone out there.

Milestone 2 or the T-Mobile G2 (Desire Z)?

TO 41ly, Go for Desire Z if you're aiming for QWERTY phones. AP unit around 1.9k. Most other phones do not have the guarantee of getting Gingerbread but the Desire series would definitely get it.

Hmmm.. i but prefer the T-Mobile G2, stock Android. There is that issue with that hinge. Wobbly when the keypad is closed i heard. unsure.gif
But will try to molest the phone first whistling.gif

Lol. If you're afraid of it being wobby go for the Milestone 2 but i do not put much hope on it getting more firmware update past Gingerbread.

True that, stupuiak motorola bootloader mad.gif .

Probably giving the G2 a go man.

Thanks!

Alright, last choices, DHD or Nexus S ? smile.gif

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 brows.gif )

It's up to you bro.

Another reason NOT to pick up the X10. No Froyo!! vmad.gif vmad.gif

The farce that has been Sony Ericsson's bungled, delayed, and deservedly maligned Android upgrade story for the Xperia X10 family is coming to a fittingly silly end. Questioned by Android Community on the possibility of a Froyo (Android 2.2) upgrade for its initial set of Android handsets, the SE team has just come out and admitted that there'll be no future OS upgrades, at least in terms of Android iterations.

The X10, X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro are not being abandoned, not at all, but the only software enhancements you can look forward to will come directly from Sony Ericsson. The company hardly sees that as a bad thing, however, judging by a recent tweet announcing its belief that an SE-customized Eclair tastes better than Google's untouched Froyo. We'd protest, but what's the use?

i was keen on trying mi300 as my 1 st android (jumpim from WM)

but its true...it has a built quality disdvantages

specs & hadrware wise are quite commendable judging from that affordable pricing. (not bad at all for a local device mfg)

i think i better off with a HTC device to be on the safe side.

Or a samsung for that matter. Take a look at the captivate. Excellent specs for its price. drool.gif

Guys.....Let's say my budget's at .....RM3K.

I want a phone that;

1. Is as close to the Blackberry as possible in terms of typing on a physical keyboard.

2. Is as responsive to touch as the iPhones

3. Is much more fun to play around and tweak compared to the iPhone

4. Powerful as hell just cuz .....I duno, cuz if I'm gonna splurge, may as well get the best money can buy at the moment.

I'm currently deciding between,

1. HTC Desire Z.
2. HTC Desire HD.
3. Samsung Galaxy

I really like the Desire Z but it's currently offered only by Maxis which makes it a bummer.

Can anybody tell me why I should NOT get the Desire Z?
*
Since you have the budget whistling.gif ,i suggest waiting for Motorola ATRIX or LG Optimus Black or SGS 2

Dual-Cores. drool.gif

The Atrix....I heard was gonna cost way beyond 3K wasn't it?
And does it have a physical keyboard? I'm still researching but if there's any kind souls that can tell me if there's any dual-core phones with a physical keyboard, that's currently available, it'll be great!
*
$330 pre-order with subsides i heard. So far no dual- cores with physical keyboard. But ATRIX got it's own lappy dock.

Your best bet would be the Desire Z or T-Mobile G2 (same phone with stock android).

Other than that, your out of luck. No announcement of dual-core physical keyboard phones yet. sweat.gif

3. Android.
4. Touch screen, Light gaming, Easy to use/Not that complicated, Long battery life is possible.

You can suggest something out of it. I don't mind. smile.gif

dun mind a bit higher as long as it future proof for the next 3-4 years..

Both will. But the desire will get the offical OTA upgrade. For the captivate you have to get your hands dirty. Have to go and flash custom ROMs. If you got extra $$ go ahead. icon_rolleyes.gif

QUOTE(Music Mania @ Jan 24 2011, 01:36 AM)
Hey guys, got a brand new dilemma here.

It's between the LG Optimus One and the new Acer Liquid Metal.
I'm not looking at it specs-wise, cause obviously the LM outshines the O1.
I would like to know the best value for money.

The Pros of O1 over the LM:
It's upgradable to v2.3 Gingerbread
Cheaper by approximately 400 ringgit
It's... An LG?

Cons of O1:
No flash support (limitation of CPU)
Lower specs
Multitouch issues (axis inversion)
Been said to have "input lag" where the phone would lag heavily with each touch (some says the CPU shoots up to 100%)

Pros of LM over the O1:
Much better specs. (Eg, 2nd gen Snapdragon D:)
The nifty notifications on top of the phone
Flash support (2.2 Froyo)

Cons of LM:
Costs more than O1 by approximately 400 ringgit
No v2.3 Gingerbread? (no news regarding it)
It's... An Acer? (doubting the credibility of Acer with smartphones)

Any input is immensely appreciated.
*
Liquid metal FTW man. Better specs. Acer < LG in terms of quality afaik.
