suggestion needed for a temp phone (to use til around mid next year latest)

Brand New Samsung Galaxy 5 (RM699)

or

Second Hand Apple Iphone 3G (NOT 3GS) @ RM8xx)
usage: lotsa SMS...Wifi... pictures..facebook...
n how does the Galaxy 5 handle Angry birds for android with its small reso screen?
*
base on your usage would recommend you to take galaxy 5,
as your main usage would be sms, there are many choices of keyboards for you to choose from, especially swype brows.gif

other usage that you mentioned, galaxy 5 can handle it well too
as for angry birds, the galaxy 5 is able to play it on qvga resolution.

Hmm, Thanks for the tips. If not android based? Leaning towards android because need to use some medical apps. X8 /wildfire camera so so only right?

Thanks, a newbie at touchscreens -Is multitouch that important? The small screen size limits me in what way in terms of usage? Thanks again
*
multitouch is important for touchscreen phones, wonder why iPhone are so successful?
it is required for many gestures, mostly for pinch to zoom while browsing,
others are like when gaming, some games will require multitouch,
eg. to move left while shooting, etc, so without it you can't play them.
besides that, when typing is also important, so that you can use two fingers to type simultaneously,
not a very significant issue though, since you can just type with 1 finger anyway.

the screen size will affect you when you're typing using the soft keyboard,
imagine typing in such a small screen, it'll be a pain with all the tiny soft (on screen) buttons.
besides that, the resolution will affect apps that are available to you,
not all apps are supported by low resolution, so that might be a downside to you.

for your budget, besides the phone that you've already mentioned,
you can also top up a bit for HTC Aria or Motorola Milestone, both are RM1.3k for AP set.
Otherwise, I agree with ping0613, Wildfire would be your best bet.

Thanks for the lesson. The more i learn the more choices i get  rclxub.gif  If i top up to 1300 then Nokia N8 starts to tempt.  Milestone is 1.3k or is it the XT720 that is 1.3k? Top up a bit more past that then looking at HTC desire... Ah well... Still scratching head...

Thanks, but a bit scared of the older symbians.... Keep hearing a lot of bad stories... The apps at the symbian store not that much either right?
*
you know what? if you can afford a Desire, go for it, currently AP set is only 1.7k, its damn worth it.
It's always being compared to SGS, however it is significantly cheaper than SGS,
being one of the most successful phone from HTC, its guaranteed that you wont regret it.
plus, after you're bored with the default HTC ROM, you can start flashing custom ROMs, and start doing crazy customization on the phone.
I mean, just take a look at the number of custom ROMs that are available for Desire, not counting the future Gingerbread,
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


still I have to warn you first, there is a known issue of Desire, is that it only supports 2 points multitouch,
meaning you wont get more than 2 points, it wont affect you in daily usage,
however it might cause some problems in gaming.

with all that said, still in the end its your choice.
If you can afford Desire, I would totally recommend it,
otherwise, going for mid end Android phones is not a bad choice too,
or even N8, it has the best camera so far for a smartphone.

htc desire ok or not?

let's put it simple, HTC Desire got the "2010 phone of the year" award from T3, so is it ok or not? tongue.gif

i see... biggrin.gif  used to win mo edi.. lol..
using android can simply upgrade the version o not?
*
if you root your phone (what the iphone users call jailbreak)
then you can flash any custom ROM that is built for your phone by custom developers, at anytime / how many times you want to,

otherwise you'll have to wait for the official version, which depends on which brand of android phone that you're buying
you'll need to wait for that brand of android phone to release the upgrade.

but still it depends on which phone you're going for, not every phone gets to upgrade to the latest version, because of hardware limitation
generally the power house like SGS, HTC Desire, Nexus One, Droid X, they will get the latest version of android definitely.

1 question i wana ask, i think that Android is smoother than win mo, how does it stands against iphone? same smooth interface?
*
smoothness of the interface is quite subjective, different people can have different opinion,
I can't say for other android users too, because different phone might result in different performance
but for HTC Desire, its smooth, for me at least
but IMO iphone is still slightly smoother, because there's only one model,
thus the OS can be very well optimized for the hardware,
but that's just theoretically speaking

Recommend me!

1. Brand = non WinOs hp, adroid phone perhaps
2. Budget = RM1k -1.5K
3. Specs = >4MP, upgradeable storage
4. Type/Size = no clamshell, no keyboard( use touchscreen?)

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

*
maybe try Motorola Milestone XT720 (AP), Samsung Captivate, or HTC Aria (AP), Garmin Asus A10,
all of them are Android phones that is within your budget
or you can top up another 100 for HTC Desire AP set

the best display currently in the market is Samsung Galaxy S's Super AMOLED, a better version of AMOLED display
besides it, Apple Iphone 4's Retina display is also one of the best due to its high PPI
and there's also SLCD display that's on HTC Desire, which is on par with AMOLED display

the new type of touchscreen keyboard app,
do you mean Swype?

hi i need recommendation between samsung captivate and htc wildfire. can u give me advantage and disadvantages of both phone? smile.gif

Samsung Captivate hands down better,

if you look at the specs, the difference is obvious,
1Ghz processor, SAMOLED display, WVGA (800X480) resolution for the Captivate

basically you're comparing a high end phone with a low end one.

would like to know are there any risk of getting telco locked phone like Samsung Captivate? will there be any chance the phone will locked back or missing of some functions? thank you.
*
That I do not know, you'll have to ask the seller
I'm not 100% sure about this,
but I think even if (IF) its locked, you can still unlock it,
by debranding and rooting it.

QUOTE(creative zn @ Nov 29 2010, 11:49 PM)
guys, im so torn rite know. i dont know whether to change to N900 (maemo) or Android. rite now use N97. can give some recommendation. below is futures that im looking for that lack in N97.

-i want decent web browser
-i want dedicated instant messenger , like ym, gtalk etc.. if at N97 just got software but it not nice to use and kinda difficult thou.

that all. thanks in advance. smile.gif
*
both Maemo and Android meets the requirements that you've listed,
but IMO for now I would go for Android,
mainly because the only Maemo OS device now, N900 is using resistive touch screen,
which for me isn't very nice, but that's just me.

depends on what flash game you're trying to play,
it is possible to load any flash game on the site, however,
if its designed for touch screen phones, then its no problem,
otherwise you may need a physical keyboard and mouse to control, thus making it impossible to play.

Hello guys,

I am looking to get a phone for my mom.Her phone got broken recently. Plus for her birthday as well.

She has been using Samsung for ages and I think I'd like to keep it that way smile.gif

I would like to find a most bang-for the-buck overall Samsung phone below  rm 700.

My main concern is user-friendly, easy to use(intuitive), responsive, and practical interface for an elderly person (any OS will do).

Good multitasking as well as multimedia experience (ie camera, video etc)  is a bonus.

As for the text input, I'd prefer touchscreen and qwerty come together. This is  the first touchscreen phone she'll be using, and touchscreen phones are the in-thing now, so I hope the transition would be easy for her.

If the above reason limits drastically the choices for good Samsung model, full touchscreen capability wouldn't be too bad as long as it works seamlessly. And easy

All suggestions are welcome.

Thank you so much guys.

try Samsung Galaxy 5, retail price RM699 smile.gif
