i check at dg website, HTC legend is no more in their package. only aria.

Currently yes, the MS is the best Android phone with keyboard. However, once its going to get replaced by the HTC Desire Z which should arrive soon. Wait for the Desire Z.

Thanks~

really? awww that kinda sucks.. ah well.. mebbe theyre bringing in new fones?

lost, can you tell us why did you say that legend is slightly a better phone than Aria. what's the difference between the 2?

well theyre nearly the same fone, but the legend has a AMOLED screen as compared to LCD on the aria (well this one depends on which one u prefer, but i personally tink amoled looks better)..

another thing is that the Legend is supposed to have a better battery life than the aria.

and the Legend has a LED flash while the aria doesnt (if im not mistaken- correct me if im wrong)

besides that and the design differences, theyre practically the same fone..

they run the exact same processor, the Qualcomm MSM7227 at 600Mhz.. and RAM and ROM are the same as well..

So Legend can be said to be juz a slightly(very very slighty) better fone in terms of hardware.

but if u dun care about AMOLED and LCD, and dun really care much abt the LED flash and slightly better battery life, then u can say that both the fones are the same

Hey guys, is it worth it getting the Captivate? Since I see one seller in Garage Sale selling for RM1550. These two are the same in term of hardware (well of course, its a Galaxy S phone ) but I'm not sure on the software side. Any comment on this?

i think yes, the aria dont have led flash. i went to pc expo in midvalley yesterday and see that. too bad, legend is not there and many seller so i cant really see the phone. but i think led flash will be necessary for me since i will need to use the phone to take photo and video...huhu

sifu legend isnt on d digi map now... mind to ask .. did aria and wildfire support multi touch input..??how about samsung galaxy 5 ..???is it good for a rm600 android phone with 240*320..???did this resolution will effect program runing in phone.??

yea i juz found out abt the legend being no longer on digi..

the aria and wildfire both supports multitouch, but if im not mistaken theyre both more like dual touch, its a 2 point multitouch, ppl say this is not true multitouch like what is available on the iphone and samsung galaxy S where it recognizes 3 points or more.

but anyhow, i still consider it multitouch, and therefore, yes both fones are multitouch capable fones.

but im not too sure abt the galaxy 5 tho.. coz havent really seen, tested or read much on the galaxy 5 yet..

and yes the QVGA(240*320) resolution on the galaxy 5 and wildfire does have an effect on applications.. coz not all applications on the android market support QVGA resolution..

the galaxy 5 is a really affordable fone, but i suggest u go thru the galaxy 5 thread and ask them questions, coz im really not sure about how well the galaxy 5 performs and all..

in a way amongst these 3 fones, aria would be the best and safest choice mainly due to its screen resolution which supports most apps on the android market.

Hey, im wondering whether to get hero or wildfire. Which would be better?
Or any phone within the budget of 800! second hand is ok to me too. thx !

hero is a little outdated.. i dun even tink ppl still sell the hero.. the wildfire is not bad, but the screen resolution might cripple ur android experience a little coz some of the apps in the market do not support its resolution..

if ur thinking 2nd hand, then why not get a 2nd hand HTC Legend.. it is sort of the model after the hero. But apparently DiGi stop selling the Legend already.. but u shud be able to find a 2nd hand one.. if not then try get the HTC Aria from DiGi RM799 for 2 year contract..

I suggest go look at these fones and maybe test it out a little.. it can help u make a better decision.

lost, do u own a legend personally? i read some people experience that the wifi signal is weak. if you own it, would you share your experience with the wifi?

Hi.
never a smart phone user. so, might as well giving it a try now ey..

I ve been reading since page 15, and also did some research (abit) on the other smart phones, which i basically come down to these 2: HTC desire and SGS. But there is still a few things that perhaps all sifus here can help out

can any 1 share with me:

1. in terms of sound quality, which is the best? i put this as my priority as i do travel alot, and music is a must for me =D (for some weird reasons, i m not fond of the 'i' brand. besides, i m kinda guy who love to carry as little as possible - means if best, i would not want to have another stand-alone mp3 player). most of you seems to comment on mostly other criteria but not this 1.

2. GPS - ok, i never use any gps in my life before.. thus my noob question as the following: Which of the above can get free updated maps like forever (shit. feel like gona kena flame)

3. .. which also bring me up to question 3 - battery life. according to wat i had read, SGS has a better battery life compare to Desire?

4. which of their camera is better in your opinion. but this is not my priority. as long as it can take a decent pic, i m satisfied

5. both able to run the upcoming android 3.0? i read about the pre-requirement on the later android software. any 1 can confirm?

what say you..

besides music, my daily task includes:
- email (able to sync with microsoft outlook? possible?)
- web browsing - reading articles / news / ebooks / social networking stuff like fb, msn, whatapps..
- gaming (not much) / browser flash games
- pdf, microsoft words, excel (possible?)

Thanks ey!
cheers

I can't tell you about SGS as I don't own one, but I can give you my opinion on Desire.

in terms of sound quality, if you're just a casual music listener, the Desire does a good enough job,
but if you're critical on sound quality, you'll need a standalone MP3 player,
especially the stock ear buds, they're good enough to produce sound, but that's just about it.

for GPS, you can install Papago X5 on both (I'm sure as it's possible with any android phones),
which will let you use free GPS for like forever.

for battery life, my Desire can last about 2 days + on light usage (only sms and documents reading),
if plus light gaming, about 1 day, heavy gaming, it can last few hours only.
this is another reason to get a standalone MP3 player, to save battery.
also, I don't think the SGS's battery life varies a lot from Desire.

as for camera, I don't know if flash is a important factor to you,
but Desire has a LED flash, while SGS does not.
The photos taken by Desire is passable.

both are able to run the upcoming android, IF the requirements stated are still valid.

your daily tasks are like the "basics" of a smartphone, so no worries
you can even edit your MS documents on your phone, provided that you have the right apps.

hope it helps.

really? i have a few friends who have the legend and i have tested and played with the legend.. but while testing i didnt have that issue, and my friends never complained to me abt the wifi before.. hmmm..

sorry i cant really comment on the wifi issue coz i dont personally own a Legend, this one u need to ask at the HTC Legend thread here on LYN.. sorry cant help you about this issue.

Added on November 10, 2010, 2:08 amIm currently using a SGS and i have tested and compared both these fones before.. and for wat i can say is that
1. sound quality in terms of speakers , SGS is slightly better.. if plug into headphones, then both are equally as decent. But SGS does have SRS 5.1 VIRTUAL surround sound thru earphones tho.

2. GPS on SGS is not very good.. it doesnt lock on to the GPS satellites very well, Desire is better in this sense

3. Battery life on both are not great, nor good for that matter, but for SGS, if u turn down the brightness and use Edge instead of 3G, then u wont have any issues going thru the day.. for me, after installing a custom rom, i managed to get 2 days worth of battery and at the end of the 2 days i still have about 30 to 40% left, but that is with minimal use.
about which has better battery life, some ppl might get better battery life out of SGS and some might get better battery life out of Desire.. but either way, you will have to charge your phone everynight

4.Camera on SGS takes better pictures, but does not have LED flash.. Desire has LED flash but picture quality is better on SGS, but the picture quality on the Desire is still very much acceptable. So pick your poison.

5. Cant tell abt android 3.0 yet. coz official info has not been released.


If u wanna play 3D games on ur fone, SGS is the best as it has the best GPU for android at the moment.
If u want to use GPS more, go for Desire
If u want to watch movies on your fone, go for SGS as it has a fantastic screen and supports many video formats, and all vids run great on the fone (on desire u can download an app to support certain video formats)
If u need a flash for ur camera, go for Desire

and i can say that Desire is less laggy than SGS. but SGS u can apply a lagfix which will solve this problem(im using lagfix now, and my fone runs great). However, i feel that the scrolling is smoother on the SGS than on the Desire tho. and also note that Desire is not lag-free, it does lag also, depending on usage, but not much.. but with Froyo and the JIT compiler, i gotta say that the Desire is pretty fast.

Desire has a more solid feel coz of the material used for its body.

But problem with Desire is the small internal storage capacity. Even with the "move to SD" function, not all apps support moving to SD. So you might run out of space faster than on the SGS.

However, both are still excellent fones, go test it out and see.
or u can wait for the Desire Z and HD
