Budget? What do you mean by easy internet usage? hmm.gif

budget is around rm1k - rm1.5k

now that you ask it does not sound clear what i'm asking about the easy internet usage. maybe i should just say support high speed internet, like most of the phones today. also user friendly internet interface wouldn't harm

Editted: Xperia X10 cannot support video calls.

At the same time, what do you mean by this?

user friendly internet interface wouldn't harm?

So far, the best choice phone that can fulfill your all requirement is Nokia N8 for now, but you might find Android UI is better off.

thanks, will check N8 out. but as you said, after i did some reading seems like Android UI is better

what i meant by user friendly interface was when my wife was using my old W902 to browse the internet, she complaint that it was not really easy to navigate. anyway, come to think of it maybe it was due to the small screen issue la

thanks, will check both phones out. and yes, am not an apps killer. it's for my wife anyway so definitely not an apps killer

some more looks like maxis is having N8 with their data package as well, might be worth to check it out also

thanks again

Generally, I have to say that the web surfing experience in Symbian is not good. I was looking forward to use the LG Optimus One when the price is acceptable for me.

In your case, how frequent she surf the internet using handphone? I still think N8 still the best choice in terms of hardware. The secondary camera is about 1.3MP if i am not mistaken.  rclxms.gif

really? but then again your "not good" maybe not equal to my wife "not good". maybe i can survey the LG Optimus One also, when the price is acceptable like you said biggrin.gif

when having the means to do it, she'll go online quite often. once last year she used my phone to browse the net especially facebook, and i got charged for rm150 ++ for data only. part of it because i do not register to a data plan, and part of it because she used the service quite often

thanks for the advice smile.gif
