1. Brand. (prefer HTC, or samsung)
2. Budget. (1.7k-1.9k)
3. Specs. (1G Processor / Latest Android OS Ver / screen larger better)
4. What you need in the phone (nothing really specific

Err i prefer a phone that can last long as in with support from developers so it can last for 2 years or more.. and frequent updates...

Frankly speaking, i doubt nowaday phone manufacturers will produce a phone with support last for 2 years or more since the competition so drastically, every manufacturer like to compete each other produc high spec phone to attract buyers. As you can see HTC going to release even high spec model soon as well as Samsung.

ok maybe at least not updates from companies but like developers with new roms.. new ports of new os... that kind of stuff

not so sure about that, but if im not mistaken its not very stable yet.. i heard most of the functions are already there, like the market and gps are working, but i think as a whole, im not sure whether its reached the point where its stable enough to run smoothly without any major problems.. i might be wrong tho, coz i havent been very much up to date with the HD2 and android thing lately.
*
i heard the hd2 quadrant score can even go up to 19++..lol since budgt low maybe getting hd2 with android instead..

Does anyone know if HTC Desire Z coming to Malaysia?

From gsmarena.com seems like state there is a secondary camera but I'm not sure whether it is true or not because the HTC official webpage never mention and the pictures does not show that there is any camera in front...
Any clue on this?

Currently is there any android phone that have:
1. Secondary camera
2. Camera with flash
3. Can view flash player

yes htc desire z coming to malaysia in october

hey guys i'm currently trying to decide between a samsung galaxy s and a htc desire hd. I did some reading up and was wondering if u guys could answer some questions for me. thanks in advance.

1. which phone has a better screen, albeit with the same resolution? is the amoled screen on the galaxy s better than the slcd screen?

2. how much faster and better is the performance of the htc compared to the samsung fon?

3. price-wise, which one is more worth it?
*
1. samsung galaxy s has a better screen and of course super amoled beats slcd

2. i would think that htc desire hd would be better in terms of experience out of the box. samsung galaxy s have gps and lag problems which can be fixed

3. htc desire hd is not out yet but it should be around the same price as samsung galaxy s

conclusion is samsung galaxy s is better but have to do lots of tweaking first and it doesnt have froyo 2.2 yet. (official release)

but i would rather get tc desire hd

Hey guys, I am not an extreme user. But I do need a decent android.
Thinking of HTC Legend. or should I wait till next year for new stuffs? like dual core and gingerbread? Will it be super expensive? If so, I'd rather not wait.

err all new technology are expensive.. like this year all 1ghz processor 2k+ then next year sure lesser edi.. but the dual core would reach around 2k+
and htc legend have not gotten froyo.. unless you decide to root it and flash a froyo rom

Thanks to StupidGuyPlayComp & lost123 comment.

I have personally went to the shop to test the phone.
Conclusion:
1. I have difficulty texting on the G5.
2. I'm not sure bout ppl who criticizes on the resoultion of the Wildfire. I looks perfectly fine to me. (Or maybe i do not pay attention to the details)

Looks like i'm set to be a Wildfire user. Thanks.
