Edit: I got what you mean tongue.gif

I did some survey on Elm, but somehow feel it's build is kinda bad.But it has Wifi,GPS and 5mp camera.
Another cons is it's screen might be too small for browsing page, any user's experience?
Is it worth getting an Elm?

Hi,
1. Brand : Nokia and SE only
2. Budget : 400-650
3. Specs : camera 5MP above (good camera for day and night capture)
4. Type/Size. Any

I am considering Nokia X3-02 and SE Elm.
But I am not sure is these two phone are good at night capture?

AP set can update the firmware..

but i'm cannot sure 100% as AP set is unpredictable[LoL] .. if it is overseas telco phone[such as ATT/vodafone etc..] 50% chance to update

short answer = yes .. it can be updated..

Original is better.. by the way !

Owh because I check the first page of this thread, AP set of ELM cost RM 463 but ori cost RM628.
difference around RM200 shocking.gif

It is better to get original if you don't want to play around with luck.

AP just don't have the 1 year warranty by the authorized distributors right?
Personally, phone will last at least 1 year if you take care good of them.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Any other AP disadvantages?

If I take Ori ELM, I will rather take Ori Hazel. Just cost around RM50 more.
Have any idea why the difference between ELM's ori and ap is so much(around 180)? While Hazel's Ori and AP difference is only around RM50.

Weird.

Business talk goes...

When more people needs and/or the stock getting lesser, price will raise up
vice versa...

sometimes, some evil AP companies might have changed the ORIGINAL accessories away & provides you non-original stuffs, then use some free gifts to "cover" your eyes from catching them giving non-ori stuffs to you... shakehead.gif

[Victim A] wow, this shop so nice ah, give me screen protector & this & that wow~ good dealer~
shakehead.gif
well, they might earn more from selling the ori accessories... shocking.gif

Great points, thanks a lot. Looks like taking our RM650 for Hazel is a must.

Hi guys, I found Elm package doesn't include USB cable.
Is it ok to transfer files through bluetooth?

laugh.gif Means Elm GPS is not one time pay charge right? You have to pay whenever you use it. Am I right?

How about Nokia 6700?

I start feeling to buy Hazel, but is it Hazel build quality is outstanding?

Oh. On the GSMArena Hazel review, one sentence confused me:

QUOTE
Almost the whole rear of candybar Elm is made of metal for a very solid upmarket feel. There's a bit of faux metal finish on the Hazel but it's actually all plastic. Real metal would've perhaps made it too heavy – the Hazel isn't slim at all.

http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_hazel-review-477p2.php

It means Elm use metal but Hazel use plastic? Hazel or Elm build is better?

But why when I am holding Elm, I feel like it's very fragile while Hazel give me a solid feel.

I am in dilemma on choosing this two baby doh.gif
