so between CSL Mi300 and LG Optimus One, which one better for gaming icon_question.gif
LG Optimus One also support multi touch and android 2.3.
*
CSL, does not officially support Android 2.2 and beyond. have to DIY flash the custom ROM (of which will void your warranty)

But software support wise LG O1 wins.
Afaik, both sports the same processor. so gaming wise should be the same.

optimus 1 : good software support, nice screen. camera not so
wildfire : good software support, shakehead.gif screen, camera thumbup.gif
mi300: shakehead.gif software support (rely on the official thread here for support), nice screen, camera, better than optimus 1, worst to that of wildfire.

need some opinion

been using iphone 3g but traded it in as its kinda old enough and im feeling it will fail on me soon.

any comment on wildfire?i like the outlook but i have my concern with the os with the phone capability...yes im spoilt by ios with its smoothness so what sort of expectation i should have for it?

Or i should just close my eye on wildfire (RM900-1k) and go for ap desire (RM1500) instead?

Other models im considering

BB9700
Nokia N900

These 2 mainly because of the physical keyboard.
*
if you want a droid with a physical keyboard Desire Z or Motorola Milestone 2 is your choice.
Both selling around ~RM1.7k.

As for the wildfire, if you have the cash,ditch it and go for a better android device. it's worth it IMO.

thank you guys!.. its my father whose going to use this phone.. but regarding the GPU, how the about the current games? can droid 2 play?

Both can play, but the question is that who can outlast the iPhong. You already have the answer, the Desire Z.

Planning to get an Android phone.. Considering between HTC Desire, DHD & Desire Z, which would be a better option?

Desire is a bit old (but from what I read, still the best device around), DHD I'm worried about the battery life, Desire Z quite difficult to find (can only purchase it from Maxis)... :-(

Any advice? I'm new to Android, current phone is Nokia 6300...

The purpose of the phone is usually for SMS, some light web-surfing, and maybe some casual gaming... That's all... Advices please from forumers?? =D
*
Desire Z FTW!
Desire Z you can get AP sets form garage sales, iirc, Ori sets are slowly getting into the market.

Guys I'm interested to buy over a second hand HTC Desire from someone in Singapore.

The owner say that "It's a Singapore Set, meaning The phone is unlocked for all carriers". Is there any problem / limitation using a Singapore Set in Malaysia?
I'm gonna use it for Application research and development.

Please advice. Thank you
*
Should not be prob, i'm using a US set(AT&T) Samsung Captivate now. laugh.gif
So far so good.
Just need to get rid of troublesome stock ROM. whistling.gif (Should not be a prob with the Desire)

I suggest everybody to hold off their Android purchases until 18th February. Why? Because the Mobile World Congress is going to be held between 14th to 17th February. Lots of Android phones are going to be announced then (e.g. Samsung Galaxy S2, HTC Desire 2, etc)

I maybe killed by the folks at Symbian subforum for posting this, but I need an opinion. I got a Nokia N8 last two weeks but then I started reading about Android. And the more I read the more I'm drawn into posting my N8 for sale in Garage Sales.  tongue.gif After reading through till posts from 1st January, it seems that
1.) The best Android at 1.5K is the Desire AP? I'm not sure I can get it at that price here in Sarawak.
2.) Sub 1K is the Optimus One? I could use the extra money after letting go of my N8.
*
1.) Not exactly, Samsung Captivate , Acer Liquid Metal are also on the table to choose from.

2.) Yup, but the camera will be a let down. 3MP only. It is like crap when compared to your N8's 12MP camera.

1. Brand. (I prefer HTC/Samsung)
2. Budget. (1k-1.3k)
3. Specs. (I would like an Android phone with 16M colours/quite great internal memory/autofocus 5MP camera/multi touch supported/4.0 inches/decent audio)
4. What you need in the phone (I stated on above)

Don't know if I missed out any features I want
*
hmm.gif

Make it to 1.38k and you'll bag yourself a Samsung Captivate.

SuperAMOLED screen, 16GB internal mem, 5MP autofocus cam, of course multitouch, it's 4.0 inches and sounds quite decent.

Bro, you're in Bintulu? Me too.  biggrin.gif  Any reputable Samsung/HTC dealers in Bintulu? Coz I don't really see much Android phones on sale there. And I'm not sure the Captivate can be easily found there too..
*
Lol, from Bintulu la. Currently studying in Kajang, Selangor. Picked up mine from a dealer over here. sweat.gif
And yes, it's nearly impossible to get the phone there. But some fellas are offering free postage at garage sales.

Had a friend deal with him before. He's okay.

Samsung Captivate - RM 1.38k (AP set) is a better choice.

Milestone got better cam 5MP and qwerty keyboard, but it's old.

Motorola x720 is stuck on 2.1 forever. but got 8MP cam.

Depends on your priorities bro.

I've read reports of lagging in the Galaxy S.  Is the Captivate the same?

Sadly, yes. Needs lagg fixes.
Cause it shares identical hardware to that of SGS.
