Btw, there's been a lot of Android 3.0 required specs that I saw.
Is it confirmed btw? 512MB RAM, 3.5" touch screen and a 1GHz minimum?

its up to u, x10 has a much larger screen, a better camera, but i dun like the UI sony ericsson put on the fone..

the aria and legend are both about mid range android fones, and personally i tink aria is a little overpriced at the moment, so between the two, i would go for the legend..

btw, wats ur budget?

personally i would take the xperia out of the equation.. coz in terms of hardware, it is behind the galaxy s and the desire (except for the camera, i tink xperia10 has the best camera)

and between the galaxy S and the desire, it depends on what u want in a fone, if u want to use it to play games, then the galaxy S is the best choice because of its amazing GPU..

if u want a good and solid fone in terms of software and hardware, then i say the desire..

but if u want to use ur fone to watch movies, galaxy S wins again because of its amazing super amoled screen, and its native capability to play DiVX files..

the only problem with galaxy S at the moment, is the software, which is not bad, but just not as good as the desire and their htc sense UI..

but thats not much of a problem as fixes are coming, and if u root ur fone, the software part is not really gonna be an issue anymore..

so in terms of hardware galaxy S beats the desire..

it all depends on you..

Hi,

as ex-user of SE, i would advise you to stay away from SE products.. their customer supports, delevopers are slow.. They might be no updates for Xperia.. scared it will end up like their high-end phone Satio..

Yesterday went to Solaris Digi with wifey to get her Legend. Being absolute Android newbies, we didn't know how to do the simplest of tasks (like locking the screen) and had to ask the staff standing around there, but were told to read the manual tongue.gif told them there was no manual, only a quickstart guide, so they took the phone to the back to ask the technician... that's certainly not quite satisfying... I mean, they stand around the phones all day, and they don't know how to lock the screen?

The phone itself is spectacular. After using it, I wonder why Symbian is so popular, it feels like stone age OS.

hi,

agreed with you.. I am a symbian fan boy before.. Well, I grown with my first Nokia N-Gage Classic, then go for N82, N85, then my last Symbian set which is Satio..

After playing with Android, I realize how out-to-date Symbian is.. And, lack of developers making an apps or games for this platform..

first thing u must find out is the updatability of the fone software, and whether or not there is a community around to provide custom builds and roms..

i wouldnt go for huawei for now, coz not many ppl use them, and im not sure how well they will provide updates.. u could try ur luck, but imo, i wouldnt go for huawei for now..

go for a fone that is more used, one that updates are sure to come.. mebbe a fone like the desire or the galaxy S.. but if ur on a budget then try the HTC legend.. rm999 with 2 year contract with DiGi..

only can think of 3 fones.. the HTC legend, wildfire and motorola milestone..

Legend and wildfire have 3.2" screen, but Legend has higher resolution.. and between these two, the Legend has a slightly faster processor..

the Motorola milestone has a 3.7" screen, and a good high resolution of 854x480 if im not mistaken.. a little odd resolution, but i guess when u compare the resolution, the lower resolution of the Legend paired with its smaller screen, would look about the same as the resolution on the milestone.. so no big difference there..

Legend sells for rm999 with 2 year contract with DiGi, and milestone, u can get it at the garage sales around 1.2 to 1.4k i tink.. im not so sure..

wildfire is the cheapest.. its around rm1k+- at the garage sales, no contract..

so all depends on you now..

hope this helped smile.gif
