Hello, please recommend me a decent android that's not so high end expensive
1. Brand: any long life ones
2. Budget: below rm1500
3. Specs: if possible 2.1 above or possibility to upgrade to 2.1 above, good or decent camera (not as much as c905 quality but must be ok to the eye).
4. What you need in the phone:
WANTI will mostly use it for:
- read pdf / word docs
- ebook reader
- free gps or maps to help me around town
- take picture and videos in classroom/lecture & outdoor
- record voice interview
- upload those pictures, videos and sound files if possible as soon as its taken to youtube or FB or other free hosting site and laptop
- google calendar, google doc, google maps
- skype(voice) will be nice if with video as well but not necessary
- browsing and reading articles in browser
NOT NECESSARY- entertainment (games, music videos, nice media player) will not use it a lot
Thanks in advanceĀ

In terms of camera quality, Xperia X10 would be the best, however, it is no where near the best android fone.. next best camera on the fone i would say is the galaxy S.. but its kinda pricey, unless u sign up with Maxis contract for 2 years, then its in ur budget.. but Galaxy S has some issues with GPS as well as some lag issues.. but if recording video is ur secondary priority, then i would say go for the Desire, coz it is big enough to read pdf and word docs, has a properly functioning GPS (altho i personally do not like to use GPS on fones), not too sure about the quality of voice recording, but Desire's camera and recording quality isnt very good, its okay, but still usable. Browser stuff shouldnt be a problem.
or not then u can also try the Motorola XT720, it has a decent camera, decent size, decent design, and decent price which is within ur price range, altho it has smaller RAM.
Another fone would be the HTC Legend, good fone, good performance, nice design, but the thing i dun like abt this fone is the screen size, its 3.2" which is big enough for most ppl, but i personally prefer larger screens, coz its easier to read and type stuff.
Go check out these fones, and then make ur decision, its all up to personal preference.
Hope this helped

Hey guys Galaxy S = Captivate? N why the big difference in price?
Because Galaxy S is local, as in its meant for our region, the Captivate is the AT&T(a US mobile carrier) version of the Galaxy S, its still a galaxy S fone, but they changed the look of it and customized it..
Captivate is practically the same fone as the Galaxy S available here, however it doesnt have a front facing camera, and has a different design..
therefore, Galaxy S would have less of a problem finding accessories over here, but if u go with the captivate, ur gonna have to import the cases and screen protectors.

1. Brand. (HTC/Samsug/Motorola)
2. Budget. (1-1.5k)
3. Specs.
good camera, sociable (fb,twitter,blog)
4. What you need in the phone
good battery life, sensitive touch screen, thin and light
I would say the HTC Legend coz it has sense UI which has better integration of social media like FB and twitter.. camera is not great on this fone, same goes for any HTC fone out there.. but its still useable, this fone is thin and light as well, battery life im not so sure, that one u need to find out..
