need help here!! can't decide... sony xperia x8 or samsung galaxy 5.. my budget would be around the prices of these phones.. ori for g5 and ap for x8... pls give me some recommendation... my current phone is going boom soon!!! lol..
x8 +bigger screen, better resolution, better cam
- using 2.1 (no apps2sd) can be solved by rooting.. but it's too technical for me..
g5 + can be upgraded to 2.2 officially, apps2sd, more updates on 2.2, and smoother performance??
- smaller screen, weak camera
curently, g5 is around 620 ori and x8 ap is 580.. my budget is maximum 620 only..
if there're additional specs i should look into, pls let me know k!! thanks guys!!

hmm.. like i said.. my budget would be around the price of that 2 phones.. which is around 500-600.. plus a bit for ori set.
ori g5 is 620 while ap x8 is 550-600... it's kinda hard to choose for me... read from forum and they said 2.2 has better performance(for g5)..
x8 has larger screen and higher resolution.. pls give me some opinion... thx!!

Better reso HIGHER MP cam. Not better. Bad build quality and fugly outlooking.
G5 is better. I recommend as i use it.

yeah... agree with the outlook part.. that's where the problem lies... x8 bigger screen and higher resolution.. which help to support more apps..
g5.. can be upgraded to 2.2.. can also help in supporting more apps and the APPS2SD(must have!)!!! but if i am able to root x8, it would be better than g5 rite??
but i'm not really considering this... i'm not a very technical computer user.. the process to root seems ok.. but installing the apps2sd script seems super tough...

Froyo is a very significant improvement over Eclair. I strongly recommend you to get the G5.

For ~1200 budget, Acer Liquid Metal. Vibrant screen with 800x480 reso. Quite rare for its price. 5mp cam, Desire Z processor, and aluminium battery case.

hey bro!!! thx a lot man... hmm.. u kinda help me a little in deciding this already... with the word 'strongly'.. i will trust u in this 1.. btw.. should i get the leaked 2.2 or wait for the official 1??? there's a official 1 rite??? i remember saw it in some forums.. hope there is.. if not.. this makes x8 a better choice for me..
1200 is way out of my budget range... but i think the 5mp camera isn't that good.. at least for a 1.2k phone.. but i'm not gonna consider this though..
thanks a lot man!!

I directed that towards alive88. No problem btw. Official one is coming by end of March. Samsung themselves claimed this. Or, you can use Motafoca's rom. Greatly increases your battery life.

ok^^ good then... oh.. is it safe?? is this the leaked 2.2?? coz i somehow read the name motafoca somewhere.. i would like better battery life man.. heard a bit negative comments bout g5's battery life.. lol.. should we talk bout this here?? or pm??
