Re-post my questions here in new thread.

1. Brand. Sony Ericsson, HTC, Nokia
2. Budget. RM1000 - RM1100
3. Specs. WIFI, at least 5 megapixel camera, Java supported
4. Type/Size. A good and responsive touch screen as will be used for mobile internet.

I am considering Nokia C7, but read many complaints on the display, auto restarting, unable to install certain software, email configuration problem, etc in the web. It somehow freak me out. Any one is owning this model or perhaps can intro me other options.

Stretch your budget a little bit (RM11xx) and you can go for the SE Xperia X10. Its big screen, android interface, 8 megapixel autofocus camera should do your needs well. smile.gif

em.. I own a C7. so far, only weak web browser did disappoint me, other complaints u may heard there, well, i don't experience that (just the display, got some bug after new software updates, for screen saver of music)
since u want a good mobile internet, suggest u to look for android OS. u can get HTC wildfire within your budget. and also, AP motorola milestone already. I saw earlier on gnex sales thread, new AP around 1.1k+ only. u get higher resolution, bigger screen biggrin.gif

of if dun want motorola, topap a bit, go for AP desire hmm.gif

Mind to share the weakness with C7's browser? I did try it at a phone store. Can't really feel its weakness as I only tried sony ericsson x10 mini browser before. hmm.. HTC desire is around RM1.4K at my place.

standard warranty is 1 year except some 3rd party provide additional warranty.
Nokia N8 browser have limitation due to the phone screen resolution 640 x 360 pixels. Most of the time u require to zoom in and out of stuff because too small even can fit the texts and stuff are too small for human eyes to see

I don't think you can get Nexus One for 1.5k unless you're looking for 2nd hand unit

if you prefer HTC, for 1.5k you can get either Desire AP set or T-Mobile G2 aka Desire Z which is also an AP set

otherwise you can refer to 41LY45, those are good choices as well

ya. for nexus one, im aiming for a second hand unit. from the list given by u and 41LY45, i'll pass G2 - got slider keyboard (got keyboard buttons + bad experience with slider phones), and motorola defy - its not amoled screen? (i dont know what different but reviews mention its as a disappointment).

in my list:
1. samsung captivate
2. 2nd hand unit nexus one
3. HTC Desire AP

thanks guys.

**btw, why u guess dun recomended HTC 7 trophy?

The quality of N8 camera seems good. My needs is more towards internet browsing. The AMOLED screen for C7 is quite good actually too. I am not sure about HTC Wildfire as didn't pay too much attention to it yesterday. Totally into C7 until I read the reviews of it in lowyat and web. I did compared SE X8 and X10 to C7 display (even though I am not suppose to compare them as different price range). AMOLED for the obvious, win.

HTC original by SIS is said to come with 2 years warranty. I am not a HTC user, so please confirm this with the phone dealer when purchasing the phone.

I doubt any SE or HTC Android smartphone is within your budget range for the first hand original handset.

For Nokia, you can try to hunt for Nokia X6 and Nokia C6 if you want a physical keyboard, but both of them are running on Symbian.

if you still want Android at that budget, you can ask around for the CSL Mi 300's price to see if it fits your budget or not.

It's not Android. tongue.gif
Lol.

Imo, Android is better than
Wp7.

WP7 is still at it's infancy. Not much functionality in the OS just yet.

Oh yeah. Thanks for reminding me.

I only remember about the Samsung galaxy 5 or CSL Mi 300 when it comes to the budget Android phones (below 1k). Looks like it is time i upgrade myself with new information about Android handphones.

em.. a bit slow to load. and pinch zooming is bit lag. yeah, as I'm a former standard phone user, me myself don't really feel the slight weak of the web browser. well, compared to opera, I like the default browser more since it can be zoomed as we like. unlike opera, some pages can't be zoom, like LYN's own forum. I find this very anoying. if u are former android/iOS user, u can feel the lag laugh.gif and one more, symbian most weakness point IMO, is their text input sweat.gif
