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

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.

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..

No problem, glad to have helped.

owh, and i forgot to mention that the Xperia X10 is still currently on android 1.6.. kinda sad and doesnt have multitouch.. which makes it even sadder, but camera quality still good.

i know that 2.1 was on the way to x10, but i juz didnt noe whether its officially available yet.. and i didnt wanna mislead others because altho i sed the camera on X10 was good, i failed to mention that the performance on it is not as good as other fones..
and yes personally i feel that Sense UI has a better social media integration than the rest, i didnt say others cant, i juz sed tat Sense UI is better in that scenario.. come on, even my samsung Galaxy S has social media integration, and i still prefer the one on sense.. Come on, even on my old HTC G1 the first ever android fone, i could do social media integration with cyanogenmod.

and no one else is here to help provide recommendation, so why not help out.. im juz trying to help..

yes, thanks to lost123 coz i been waiting for answer quite a while and nobody seems to know the answer. at least his answer helped me narrow down my choices. I'm a non-techie anyway, so I wouldn't understand all the high end smartphone jargon. I just wanna know what certain phones can do and if it fits my usage. smile.gif

i do know though that the 2.1 Eclair has landed on x10 coz i am a current se user so they send me newsletter every week. but i read many people said they r still waiting for the upgrade. maybe it's done by batches...

I find it hard to recommend any Android phone to someone who asks for good battery life. If you want good battery life, don't bother getting a touchscreen phone. 2 days is already considered great for an Android phone. You want 4 days or more, get a Nokia E series.

i would say tat the legend is a slightly better fone, rm999 with 2 year contract with DiGi.. Next wud be aria, then wildfire..

aria and legend are nearly the same fone but with few differences, i dun really remember wat the differences are, but they are different in a few ways (but pretty similar at the same time)..
