I choose N97 mini because larger screen. But what is your priority getting a phone?

I prefer touchscreen virtual QWERTY keyboard for the resistive touchscreen.

You want mini USB port or the micro USB port 1?

sorry, is micro usb port...

Well, your requirement of "MP3 player" means you want a good speaker for music? Most of the phone have loudspeakers already.

then just ignore this...
if the phone can support playback of ape or flac music files is better but not a must.

my priority is gps, internet surfing and qwerty actually...but when is see in youtube,,quite impress with htc hd mini internet surfing and multi touch function including with the graphic..

Umm, if you do not mind about the camera quality very much and don't mind of using the outdated, but usable Symbian; why not take a look at the Nokia C5-03 thread? You can ask the TS for the phone experience before buying.

For this kind of investment, just be patient to survey around.

Here is the link for the Nokia C5-03 thread:

For the better Internet surfing experience in Symbian, try out the Opera Mobile.

thx for helping me.

camera quality have 5.0 megapixel is enough for me.
using what os is not a problem for me, as long as it is usable.(Symbian still provide update or technical support?)

is there any other choice which support microSD up to 32GB?
and i need internet surfing too...

Hmm, hard to say about that. The issue is why need update in the first place. Sometimes, I have been asking this myself. Update for better stuff, yes.

Sometime, after update suffer new bugs or issue then I am not happy with it.

OS only provide update rather than support.

Well, it does not support till 32 GB for the micro SD MC. But, do you really need that much?

For web surfing, there are some issues with it. If you want a better web surfing experience with flash, Symbian is not a good choice.

But like i said, just take your time to scout first. Don't rush to buy handphones or being baited with good offers.

no OS is completely free of bug, it's just which one is more...

32GB just in case need it in the future

so which os is better for web surfing?

i have a lot of time to survey and wont rush cause I don't have the money yet

Hmm, Android?

iOS have skyfire, but Android can play flash as far as i am concerned. Let's see how other sifu reply tomorrow.

then which android phone meed my requirement?

Can play one. android 2.2 and above.

Hmmm, can up your budget any higher bro?
~1.3-1.4k maybe?
I could suggest some good phones at that price range. (with the specs you mentioned)

just list out the phone, I will think about it if I really like it...

1. HTC Desire
2. Acer Liquid Metal
3. Samsung Captivate (the one on my sig)

what's the cheapest phone that can run garmin/papago?

Swype does not impress me. Android phone default browser can support flash content right?

There are papago license available for the Android OS phones around the lowyat.net.

not all. only version 2.2 and above. but not all, depends on their hardware too. like optimus one, it can't, although is android 2.2

It's gooding to me la. It's better than the normal virtual keyboard.




Usually the ones with 1Ghz procs can support la/

may I　know the price for each one?

quite like the samsung captivate...

Really need to do a lot of homework before buying any Android device.
