Hi all,

I need a suggestion for an android-based phone.

1. Brand = nothing specific
2. Budget = as cheap as possible
3. Specs = nothing specific, but battery life should a priority
4. What you need in the phone = My priority is to make data-base call such as skype, checking email, and social sites such as twitter, msn and such.

Battery life is a concern (prefer those that doesnt require charging once every day), connectivity is another concern, and I dont have much budget.

TQ

Okay I'm tired browsing around the forums, even digital mall & lowyat and Mid Valley Gardens, to look for the phone that fit me. So far the phone that i would like to use are all not supported under DIGI smart plan.

So guys can anyone of u recommend me a good android phone (support 2.2-2.3)

- kind like a hardcore user
- i hate laggingness (if its very lil that its okay)
- i really prefer QWERTY (means physical keyboard addition..)
- i dont know, anything that an android user must have that the phone capable of?
- most importantly, it support DIGI smart plan so i can access internet anytime.
ahh..forgot to put my budget. below 1.6-1.7k ?

Samsung ace pricing is getting higher due to supply-demand; any other options that I can consider?

also, is acer liquid metal any good?

in addition, is Wildfire good in comparision? and is Froyo (android 2.2) a "must" in consideration?

The Vibrant is also choice

Liquid metal is a solid phone but has a subpar camera.
Wildfire is overpriced.  Terrible resolution.

Any other phone that you would suggest?

Hi all, quick question

Desire Z have the same hardware spec as Acer Liquid MT?
I'm still not familiar with CPU/GPU of mobile phones.

Also, in term of cost, Acer cost 1300 (ORI) whereas desireZ cost 1600 (AP) .. in this sense, would desireZ is still a better choice in comparison?

TQ

1.4k for the vibrant or the Captivate.
1.5k for the desire Z
