Samsung Galaxy S i9000 has a Super AMOLED display which is somewhat superior to the SuperClearLCD on Samsung Galaxy SL i9003.
Samsung Galaxy S at the same time has a slightly higher amount of RAM of 512mb compared to Samsung Galaxy SL having 478mb. Well, not much a differnce here.
Galaxy S have a better Graphics Processor : SGX540 instead of SGX530 on the Galaxy SL.

Galaxy SL is said to be manufactured to fight the shortage of AMOLED panels and reduce the production cost as the price of Galaxy S can't dive any further.

Personal prefernce, I would prefer the Samsung Galaxy S over the Galaxy SL.

At the same time, did you check out Samsung Galaxy S2 which have been confirmed by a forumer that it will be brought in by SME by end of June and he's selling at RM2099. It packs a Dual-Core processor and a superior imaging sensor of 8mpx with Flash. The screen is larger as well and the OS is much newer. Plus, it even supports FullHD video recording. Not to mention the doubled amount of RAM available. Hope this helps.

Nokia but below 800 I'm not too sure what you can get. N86 have got 8mpx Carl Zeiss but might not be available anymore.
I'm not too sure what to recommend really. Check Nokia or Sony Ericsson devices I think.

Nokia E5.
RM770 ori in LYN.

I wouldn't suggest LG Optimus 2X. There're some part where it just isn't that fluid. Even HTC DHD seems to be having a smoother UI at times.

Between Atrix and SGS 2, SGS 2 seems like a better choice. Personal preference really.

Performance wise, it's not bad. A very reliable phone with a good build quality and classy material.
Don't expect anything mind-blowing though. It's running on Symbian S60v3 without FP2.
Proc is ARM11 clocked at only 369mhz with 128mb of RAM. Well, as I have said don't expect anything mind-blowing but it definitely is a pretty decent phone both on outlook and reliability.

At the same time, why not wait for E6 to arrived on our shore before you purchase. It has been reported that both E6 and X7 have started been shipped. Expect it to arrive in a couple of weeks I guess.
You might be lucky if E6 is within your budget or maybe E72 falls at a great extent that makes it a much better buy compared to E71.

Added on May 31, 2011, 6:36 pmTransfer of SMS is not something common. Only when you perform backup and restore to devices using similar backup file format, can you transfer I believe. SMS is something pretty sensitive. Imagine if everyone can copy SMS to different devices as they like and there's a sensitive message and so it got transferred to multiple people. At the same time, the form factor you're looking for is quite uncommon. If you're looking into Nokia, E75 perhaps?

E71 seems to be more reliable over E72. That's one thing you would realise following both the threads.
I'm not sure about the price. You may go to one of the outlets listed HERE as Pre-Order has started for E6.
Or you may call this and ask them for the Recommended Retail Price.
Nokia Careline 1300 88 1600

You're speaking of Blackberry Playbook feature here

Internet tethering will work with any device though till now, I have always failed tethering internet from Nokia using Joikuspot to Samsung's Android device.
Monthly fees for some mighty cool features like BBM.

Added on June 1, 2011, 9:59 pmI think people prefer Tegra 2 cause if Tegra 2, they can have access to Tegra Zone.
Exynos is not the prefered choice. Let's wait and see which one we got.

Are you kidding? Straight choice I can think of according to your need is definitely Samsung Galaxy S.

I would choose SE Arc over HTC variants for a girl. Well, design wise at least. SE Arc seems more desirable for a girl I think.

Xperia X10?

Hmph, probably IS. You know HTC Sense UI is pretty awesome.
The ultimate device of choice would go to Samsung Galaxy S II or HTC Sensation.

BB need to signup for monthly plan lor.
Personal preference maybe I might prefer BB but BB is way more expensive than Nokia E6 presumably you're speaking of Torch.
E6 should be within 2k mark but by getting BB plan, you can get subsidies from telco.

E6 is based on Symbian OS, and Symbian is hitting its end of life soon. The choice is really up to you.
What is your main usage by the way?

Yes, which makes it pointless to buy without a plan. Better get the subsidies.
I would choose BB for whatever reason I don't know. BB is in another class compared to Nokia E6.

There aren't many Keypad Android around. You might want to look at HTC Desire Z. But it's not what you would expect of today's top technology.

Funny specs. Adobe Flash support but don't want Android. Maybe you want to join the N900 league but with older version of flash?

Galaxy S2
Isn't Galaxy S Plus a rumour device? Packing 1.4Ghz and Android 2.3?

Wait for E6 leh. Don't get E72 and regret later on. Wait for E6.

Desire Z out of production too.
Or T-Mobile G2. I read somewhere that production stopped for that phone already.
This is Dual-Core era already. Desire Z is way under-powered. If you want to have good flash capabilities, you need some serious power under the hood.

Are you going to look into app support? If yes, go for Android but Samsung Wave is a pretty decent phone. Quite smooth. Probably lack of apps as what I realised.
