FYI that price is expensive... RM2199 for desire??? you can get around RM2000 already... nothing much i had been at their Midvalley fair and others... just a marketing gimmick... survey at garage sales on the price if you want cheaper...

There is a few maxis center hv it... Depend what u wan, but smoothness Samsung galaxy s and HTC desire is good...

X10 lack of updates is the main problem... Would prefer legend or wildfire, but she don mind the quality of the screen of wildfire then it is really good value to buy... Am using 1 now and my gf also say it is jus nice for a normal girl (non tech savy)... Might plan to buy a eta for myself if yr end bonus is ok, then pass the wildfire to her...

I thought cheapest should be HTC wildfire?

There is a few maxis center has the test unit...

Wildfire... It's disadvantage is only the screen, but not a major 1 for me. And the slight slower response that's after u install a lot of stuff in it


Desire has froyo already jus on 30th aug, merdeka present... 500mb is enough if you are using wifi at home and office... not a problem for me, last month i have to purposely finish my quota with downloads...

well wildfire is the entry level phone in the HTC Android line up, it screen resolution is the main let down... coz u can't install certain apps because of the resolution is not supported or after u open the apps it will not display or distorted display...
desire is a high end phone at the moment in HTC Android line up, it is a good phone where there is not much limitation on it which u face on wildfire... except it does not has a front VGA camera for video call... other than that it is a complete package...
if you have budget, then Galaxy S is the one where u can get slightly bigger and nicer screen, better gpu and also lighter phone (compare to Desire)... but the build quality is as solid as desire...

Added on September 19, 2010, 8:55 pmof course if you want to get a proper android i would say Aria or Legend is better... but if you don mind the limitation on Wildfire then u can get it...
the limitation is mostly on Apps supported because of the screen resolution 320x240, where most of the apps is create for 480x320...
other than that i'm quite happy with the wildfire on my hand now... coz i'm not really into gaming and a lot of apps... my major requirement is email, internet on the go, msg and of course phone calls...
set your priority and then only u can make a proper decision...

There aint anything we can help on the battery life as currently all androids talktime aren't impressive at all except x10, but major let down is it's os version n multi-touch aren't support (i heard)

But can u wait for 1 or 2 months for the new desire hd or z where it gives u better processor...
If not desire is better, coz i banned Samsung products...

Well both can be updated to froyo but for me i'll take legend instead... Coz better screen n body...
But wildfire is cheap but the major let down is the screen as everyone knows... Aria screen reso is same as legend but not the color displayed 256k TFT (Aria) vs 16m Amoled (Legend)... Ur choice... There will be always midrange phone around to fit ur bill but u add in some small amount u can get better one already...

Wildfire RM1199 > Aria RM1799 > Legend RM1999 > Desire RM2199
what to choose? All list I the rrp of the phone so ur choice... but duno u still can get legend new set or not...
