Not if u wanna buy the phone on package...

But i think u're able to attach RM58 to ur supplimentary line (family line) if u buy the phone outside la...


From my view, unless I really call my families everyday at least 30 minutes per day... Otherwise, I dun think family lines are really worth while... It's more worth if bf/gf call each other / sms very frequently... Otherwise, I doubt u'll SMS ur mom/dad 10sms per day or so

So the "sacrifice" that you mention here is not really valid... Of course, u need to fork out money for ur own line now instead lah

BTW, DiGi call to other telco also same rate...

Added on December 30, 2010, 12:57 pmBTW, I wanna ask sifu here... Am planning to Up to Android...
Budget <1k but flexible if can justify the up in features etc but need to save more for it lo...

What I wanna use it for? Calls, SMS, lite GPS, lite gaming, Internet of course la what era edi , Camera for photos (not too particular but something 5 or more mpx) , software upgradability is a plus ie froyo/gingerman

Looked @
- Spice MI300
- LG Optimus One (My LG KC910 juz failed me so not very interested)
- X10i (4" seems a little bulky)
- Moto Defy (3.7" seems comfy but speaker issue not convincing)
- SGS (Nice display, plenty of Custom ROMS, but $$$ even rm1.7k on maxis)
- HTC Desire

Pls throw me some ideas and discussions~ More than welcome!
Thx everyone!

LG seems nice as a package with everything in.. Juz not quite convinced especially with their repo on the Battery... LOL My KC910 random shutdown/reboot/low/no battery and the fon oly 2 years... Tho the 8mpx is awesome la

I've checked out X10i... Really feel bulky... and I liked the SGS... $$ wise really


Any other phones that you may recommend to look at for consideration?

Added on December 30, 2010, 2:30 pmAm seriously considering this one... Checked out the ROM compatibility with Z71s and it's amazing... Never knew the connection until I visited the MI300 thread

How about the reliability? RAM sufficient for games etc? (Angry Bird , coz my GF's Mini Pro got lag on higher lvl...)


Cheers

Added on December 30, 2010, 2:34 pmLong tedious process to follow news and forum threads

The upgrades, are "promised" but not necessary following the actual timeline by manufacturers... Whereas for developers... It's hoping that they can get things working soon... But it's not "promised" by anyone but rather a collective community doing the developments of custom ROMS for the OS update/upgrade...

Right now, Froyo (2.2) should be the "norm" but alot of manufacturers: SE, Moto are still on Eclair (2.1), Some are even Donut 1.6 or Cupcake 1.5 but those getting obsolete...

Whereas Google released Gingerbread (2.3) and Honeycomb (2.4/3.0) is rumoured to coming to CES 2011 / MWC 2011 in tablet forms...

HTC working on going up the ladder for OS and samsung (since they're the manufacturer for Nexus S) is trying to move into 2.3 Gingerbread... (Rmbr, "promised" but not necessary following "promised" timeline...)
