QUOTE(sidseel @ Feb 15 2011, 09:17 AM) The Samsung Fascinate is a CDMA phone (No sim card slot), thus unable to be used in Malaysia, nor does it sell here.The closest thing next to a Fascinate is a Vibrant, check the garage sales section here for its pricing. |

QUOTE(Dannyl @ Feb 15 2011, 04:58 PM) Is an SE X10 worth it? Used for calls, SMS, Facebook, taking pictures and posting... in short, casual use. Found an excellent condition 2nd-hand one and thinking of buying it for my other half, then I can inherit her Legend For casual use? Sure, for the price its selling at almost nothing beats the X10 in specs. The only gripe might be the loudspeaker as its volume is very low, other than that its a good phone |

QUOTE(zuiichi @ Feb 16 2011, 10:57 AM) guys, need recomendation here, spice mi 300 or SE x8? If its between the Spice and the X8, get the Spice. The brand might be abit meh, but the specs are better and custom ROMs galore. btw, how much is those 2 price range and a used se x10 (like the design pretty much) You could also consider the LG Optimus One, it runs 2.2 froyo stock and the price range is similar to the other two. |

QUOTE(zuiichi @ Feb 16 2011, 11:58 AM) LOL! really? luckily i ask here. =.= Official ROMs, yes. It'll most likely be stuck at 2.1 forever.im just tempted by that x10 design. very nice to me. but only on 2.1? If you are more adventurous, there's quite a few custom ROMs already available. CyanogenMod 6.1.1 has already been ported (2.2 froyo) for the X10 and it seems almost everything is working. Gingerbread is also available but at the moment most features are unavailable. |

QUOTE(Dannyl @ Feb 18 2011, 11:02 AM) Which Android phones have nice speakers? I hear my colleagues' iPong4 and Desire, both sound 'breaking' when playing loud ringtones. Nice speakers? Err... In general aspects though, don't expect Nokia 5800-esque quality speakers in android phones. |

QUOTE(driftmeister @ Feb 19 2011, 09:25 AM) planning to get a new phone, quite impressed with android. Which Xperia are you referring to?can recommend me a phone with decent spec with reasonable nice look? Xperia looks decent, but spec and OS wise loses Optimus One and Garmin Asus A10 spec and OS wins, but doesn't look cool and screen a bit small. Budget = RM1000+/- If you don't mind adding a little bit of cash, I'd say get a X10. Its only about RM 11xx for an AP set nowadays, wins both the optimus one and the A10 in almost every aspect. |

QUOTE(driftmeister @ Feb 19 2011, 10:13 AM) Officially it is almost certainly condemned to run 2.1 forever. But there are already custom ROMs available for it, and it seems the 2.2 one is working just fine, while the 2.3 one still needs some things to iron out. In the end its just a matter of time for custom ROMs, but don't expect any official updates in the near future for it. |

QUOTE(driftmeister @ Feb 19 2011, 10:35 AM) If you follow the instructions nicely and properly, there won't be any problem. At least its better than being stuck at 2.1 right? If you want official updates though, then Optimus One would be the best choice. It has 2.2 froyo when stock, as well as announced update to 2.3. |

QUOTE(driftmeister @ Feb 19 2011, 11:03 AM) XT720 is officially announced to never get more than 2.1, its confirmed 'forever alone' 2.1. For Samsung I'd recommend you the Captivate, but its about RM14xx at cheapest. As for HTC, the Aria is decent. You can also consider the Desire at RM13xx. |

My friend planning to get one very soon as in about 2 hours time so need some quick feedback if possible, Thanks. Budget 1200 ~ 1600. Thanks If your friend's budget can stretch to RM15xx I'd say get the Captivate. Won't regret it. |

QUOTE(hengguowei @ Feb 20 2011, 02:12 AM) Where can I try out HTC phones? Like how Nokia has shops displaying real phones instead of dummies in Gardens & other places. Thanks Times Square's DiGi has a few HTC phones to try out. Or you can just simply go to LowYat Plaza's abundance of handphone shops and ask them to let you play with one. they usually let you. |

QUOTE(kidmad @ Feb 21 2011, 12:14 AM) Wei mana you see ram 278mb? As far as i know for ram you can only have 256mb or 512mb It is said that the phone reports 278mb of user RAM, it is claimed to be so but its still unconfirmed.where you see it has that amount of ram? I am searching for high and low for it. imo, it should be alright as it's running on froyo and it has the same amount of ram with Milestone. Yea, seems promising for OP1 but i still prefer samsung galaxy ace, their own UI is smooth and it has swype pre-installed. 5 MP + Bigger Screen + Prettier images is definitely a + point *P/s: i am getting myself a samsung galaxy ace, just sold my milestone yesterday. Love the looks of galaxy ace. IMO OP1 is quite like the CSL/HTC TATOO~ Added on February 21, 2011, 12:20 am Shouldn't be a problem, my milestone is on 2.1 with 150mb rom and 256ram still it runs app smoothly, BETTER THAN LEGEND! trust me. haha but can't install that much games as it's on 2.1 still need Froyo to move heavy apps to the SD card. |

QUOTE(kidmad @ Feb 21 2011, 09:11 AM) Well most of my phones are not used for games. Haha, my only focus is synchronization which google does DAMN GOOD. Occasional for work purposes, to easily store some info, wireless tethering and so on. Game... once in a blue moon. haha Great, give us some reviews of the phone once you get it ok? I am getting the black one! wohoo buying from Forumer as well from Klang. I bought some phones from him previously so he is giving me a damn good price! RM930 and just so NEAR to my house! haha. |
