Hey langsk,

What about the camera? Is it really bad like some people say. Can you share some sample photos?

Thanks! can you please tell me why would you say that the x10 mini is above all?


To android pros,

I would like to own an android but of course the high end ones is too expensive for me. I am just starting out to try smartphone (and very keen towards android) so I dont want to spend too much and later I didn't really use all the function.

But I like to take photos so I am looking for a good camera as well although from lots of reviews I read, not much good camera with android and I saw some of my friend's photos from his HTC.

Sony usually have a good camera, even at lower MP because of its sensor, but I am also being influenced of the complaints by MANY android users that the 1.6 Donut is really a drawback. hahaha!

I also want to use skype on the phone. I have a friend in Mexico who call me on his HTC HD2 on skype to my computer, so I want to be able to call him too when I'm not on my laptop. I don't play much game on phones but simple ones maybe so maybe I don't need the good specs for playing games. My friend also uses the ereader to read story books on the phone and I'd like that too so I guess maybe the resolution is also a part for me to consider? (I read reviews about bad reso on wildfire due to the cheap price). I may also need to read some .pdf or .doc documents while waiting or in LRT.

Am I asking too much for a small budget?

I haven't seen much review on Malaysian made CSL Spice Mi300 that cost RM899 in one of the android seller here. Anyone have a say for this phone? Review at mobile88 sounds decent though and at another site also commented a decent phone.

My initial budget is under RM1000 but I may also consider to up my budget to RM1500, any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

but x10 is off my budget. what about x10mini camera?

Hello, please recommend me a decent android that's not so high end expensive

1. Brand: any long life ones
2. Budget: below rm1500
3. Specs: if possible 2.1 above or possibility to upgrade to 2.1 above, good or decent camera (not as much as c905 quality but must be ok to the eye).

4. What you need in the phone:

WANT

I will mostly use it for:
- read pdf / word docs
- ebook reader
- free gps or maps to help me around town
- take picture and videos in classroom/lecture & outdoor
- record voice interview
- upload those pictures, videos and sound files if possible as soon as its taken to youtube or FB or other free hosting site and laptop
- google calendar, google doc, google maps
- skype(voice) will be nice if with video as well but not necessary
- browsing and reading articles in browser


NOT NECESSARY

- entertainment (games, music videos, nice media player) will not use it a lot


Thanks in advance

seems like no pros wanna answer here

thanks a lot lost123, you helped me narrow down the choices. Thanks!

yes, thanks to lost123 coz i been waiting for answer quite a while and nobody seems to know the answer. at least his answer helped me narrow down my choices. I'm a non-techie anyway, so I wouldn't understand all the high end smartphone jargon. I just wanna know what certain phones can do and if it fits my usage.

i do know though that the 2.1 Eclair has landed on x10 coz i am a current se user so they send me newsletter every week. but i read many people said they r still waiting for the upgrade. maybe it's done by batches...

thanks, I'll check that thread out.

I don't even know what flash mod rom is

i check at dg website, HTC legend is no more in their package. only aria.

lost, can you tell us why did you say that legend is slightly a better phone than Aria. what's the difference between the 2?

i think yes, the aria dont have led flash. i went to pc expo in midvalley yesterday and see that. too bad, legend is not there and many seller so i cant really see the phone. but i think led flash will be necessary for me since i will need to use the phone to take photo and video...huhu

lost, do u own a legend personally? i read some people experience that the wifi signal is weak. if you own it, would you share your experience with the wifi?

with his kind of budget he wait a little more for the high end androids that gonna come soon to M'sia like Desire HD or Desire Z.

but if you wanna ask me why i reccomend, i also dunno coz i am also looking at many options of android now. but well, u got the money, u can buy any...

AP Desire Z is here already and the ori one can be pre-ordered from a seller here, Terry

u went to the mobile expo, any sightings of the black Phantom Legend as this one?

http://www.androidguys.com/2010/10/06/new-...-legend-desire/

hehe, my friend said just sit in front of the mirror when making calls...lol

like i said earlier, just make the call in front of mirror

stupiguyplaycom, would you say that aria and legend processor is ok for a normal user? not a gamer here. likely to use android for ebook, surf, doc reading and editing and normal apps like gtalk, skype, maybe a little gmaps etc.

i'm noob android but from my research i think aria better than galaxy 5.

just now i ask one shop at lowyat its rm1699 now.
