hi , i considering of getting either dell streak 5 or htc trophy .

what i usually do with my phone ..
1)internet browsing
2)social networking
3)youtube
4)games
5)take still photos .

what im looking forward in a phone ...
1)screen customization
2)easy to download apps
3)nice colour display
4)smooth inferface - like iphone orientation etc


why dell ? cause of the huge display .

why trophy ? cause of games ?

please suggest other htc models if you like . no tablet please . its too big already .

also , android or windows phone 7 , which is better ?

ive been using iphone 3g for almost 2 years . so there is much customization and its so boring . no intention of getting iphone 4 cause the iOS is the same.

budgeting around rm1k.

i noe u're fine for both, but i wondering how u can get it with 1k budget...
it just a rebrand product wad...

if so, i would actually vote WP7 for social networking, mango update got lots of new things...i watched the demo video of gyrosensor...
ur camera on & u got a so called gps at corner & u move around ur camera, u can see who r tweeting, depends on wad apps u use with the feature [pro stalker LOL]

oh wai...wp7 seems no flash support yet...& android got more apps
*
thanks .... im considering htc hd7s now .....but again , im gonna wait for the mango update . i didnt know got no flash support ???? wth ? i mean its a high-end phone ......
i like android too ..but its not as stylish as wp7 .

probably gonna wait for phone that has mango update on htc .

btw , does wp7 and android has many games as iphone ??? i have not use wp7/ android yet . and also , alot of them are free ? can be " jailbroken " ?
sorry i ask too much as ive been using iOS all the my life... blush.gif

phone is expensive here, unless we go for pay monthly... but i will not be here for a long time.. will be back around 2012 (less that 12 months time).
the shortest contract period is 12 months...  mad.gif no luck for me....

and i need a GPS or navigator for my road trip... renting a navigator cost like GBP10 a day... 12 days road trip will be like GBP120 (RM600).... rclxub.gif
better look for a phone which can do it...

anyway, please ignore the PAYG deal thing.... can you please suggest a cheap phone which have "function" like N8 (GPS)
*
ok , im a just a moderate phone savvy.
1st , who suggested n8 ? that is a high-end smartphone and based on your needs , n8 is like a " computer " . n8 functions is much more than that ( speciality = 12MP camera , superb display screen altho not the best but still very very nice ) . it basically substitute netbooks out there but just that it smaller only .
. and if you are using call/sms and gps only . u are using like less than 3% of the phone functions .



most smartphone ( around rm700 ) also have gps already . with that price , you can get any touchscreen smartphone nokia or garmin asus phone ( specialise in gps ). good luck .

p/s i brought a real gps device for my UK holiday trip . dunno why . haha icon_rolleyes.gif

I live in Malaysia and i have no idea what is PAYG. It means pay now and go now?
Aiks..... So expensive.... Lower end means C series like the Nokia C5-00.....
Not necessary. I thought Nokia C1 is a dual sim phone? It is just that the camera sucks....
I suggested the Nokia N8 since that it might be cheaper and capable of fitting into his budget in UK. Also, i have used the N8 GPS before and it is quite impressive.

lol ...i dont think it will be cheap even with plan . plus , he only using it for like 1 year + ???

i have done some reading and i think nokia ovi maps works offline... mind suggest other low end phone with ovi maps
some member suggest N8... is too expensive for me, anyway...thank for the headup.

how much you pay fro the GPS device?? is like 60 quid++ right.... i just might get a phone (GPS)for that

Update:

this is what i found for Nokia phone which have this ovi map "function"

Initial compatible devices:

    Nokia N97 mini,
    Nokia 5800 XpressMusic,
    Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition,
    Nokia E52,
    Nokia E55,
    Nokia E72,
    Nokia 5230,
    Nokia 6710 Navigator,
    Nokia 6730 classic,
    Nokia X6
any other ?? please advice

i brought the gps device for rm800 + additional maps ( UK ) . So total around rm 900 . this gps i can use it for free . back in malaysia , also can use . but i would not recomend an expensive real gps device since i only use it when i go overseas travelling which so far happened once in 2 years . lol.
around rm300 , you get the basic gps .....not that great but still will take you there ...
those expensive one are also not that great - music playback , photo viewer , bluetooth etc which i think it completely useless . you wont use .

im not sure about nokia these days since ive been using iphone .
but i suggest a touchscreen phone ( if possible 3.5"+ screen ) .....screen like E72 will definitely give you a hard time reading the gps . even my 4.3 " gps device also i find it small cause when you are driving in unusual place , u gonna need as much clear info route on your gps .

I am planning to trade away my laptop for N8 when i go back to bandar Sunway this july. Now i am in hometown preparing for exams....
Except for Nokia E72 and 5800, the rest i am not sure if it is still available on the Malaysian market or not for the first hand stocks.....

Nokia Ovi Maps can lock my position DURING heavy rain within 3 minutes OFFLINE using the Nokia 5800. HOWEVER, this depends very much on the satellites around your area....

@xamenyap,

I am not sure about the UK market, but i suppose the phone over there are cheaper than the phones here???

im not too sure either but in US , alot of phone are tied down to operator providers like verizon and at & t.

Hmm, my advise is that it is better to have other people guide you despite you have GPS.

@aspire2006 bro,

When N8 guys and gals are going photo outing again in July? Got go to Pulau Redang or not? tongue.gif

yea , i agree.... overall get a moderate phone which has gps device . there are so many phones with gps nowadays .... have you try samsung ? they are compactible with nokia too . but i prefer nokia more when comes to gps .

try nokia
c5-03
c6
c6-01
x6
