Am thinking really hard to get Ace or Optimus One.

This is going to be my first Android. I was actually quite set upon getting Optimus a few days ago.. until yesterday I read about Galaxy Ace. Now I'm torn between two choices. I been reading reviews that Ace ram is only 2xx and has a bad battery life. Is that true? Gsmarena doesnt specify the ram there.. and some comments on reviews say that the internal memory is too small to install apps..
please advice smile.gif

I'm sure there are many in the same boat. I know I am! Waiting for a full review now. But I'm leaning towards the Ace smile.gif

Emailed Samsung to ask for the official launch date and retail price, and was answered this:

Please be inform that, there is no official date yet when the said model will launch in Malaysia. For up to date information, kindly refer to the website at www.samsungmobile.com.my.

Does this mean the units selling at stores now are AP sets?

mid range android phone should be at least 800mhz cpu+512mb rams

So we should start calling the Ace a low-end phone? Fine with me. Specs still look good! Wifi b/g/n!

Siao lah! Why not just continue using Optimus? Not so much difference between these 2 phones. If Desire HD then a lot of difference lah... but if you have so much money, go ahead...

Ok guys, some review on Ace. I can't be 100% precise as for pictures i'll try to upload later if i have the time.

1st) OP1 is quite sluggish IMO, not too sure for what reason but ACE is smoother compare to it.
*would have to install more apps and see how ACE performs. As far as i know, better spec does not mean it could perform better, we need to see the UI which is being used and for this case 2 thumbs up to Samsung.
*It's really smoother compare to my previous Milestone (ram capacity of 258mb vs 278mb as stated in the phone status (ACE))

2nd) Screen Resolution Display;
*Well it's slightly lacking compared to IP4 but hey, the phone is 60% cheaper compared to IP4.
*The icons words, widgets are all crystal clear to me. Surprisingly the 3.5" screen display looks much more awesome compared to the 3.7" display on my previous milestone. Seems like it isn't that bad to copy the display size of an IP. Steve Job had really put some thoughts on this i guess.

3rd) Camera. . .
*Wow i love it. Despite Milestone is having the same camera resolution... trust me on this. It is no where near to ACE. The 5 mp on ACE can do wonders and it's totally worth it for a phone with such a price tag.

4th) Build Quality...
*Nothing much to shout about pretty much similar to Samsung Galaxy S but with a cooler back COVER! Matt Black and White is just awesome!

*Anyone got any idea whether this phone is having a Gorilla Glassor scratchless surface?

Overall if you are talking about spec itself compared to the best phone out there.. maybe it's 3/5 but if we are talking about price/performance...
I would definitely give it a 5/5.
*
Wow, this is the deciding review for us on the fence. Anyway - is the warranty by Samsung? Is it original set or AP set? You know, the phone hasn't officially been launched here...

True though. It used to be a reason that might stop me.
But i came across a thought that, when it comes to recording... phone is always weaker.
Yea i know, some phone provide real good recording, but those are in high-end price.
I saw video recorded by my sis samsung wave. Reviewed as good quality recording, but for me.... kinda weak also.
You just don't use phone to record important or quality demanded video , right ?
So quickly, i put that aside.
Use the right device for right purpose.
Just my opinion though.
However, better if it offers better recording lar~

never play the waiting game when it comes to gadget. just get what you have in the market. you never know down the road in 6 - 8 months time what else will be coming out.
not really important. 2.2.1 is really good imo. 2.3 is just a + if they have.
Not many ppl will be taking video, moreover you can't expect too much for a phone at the price tag of rm900 right?
why said so? it's different segment la bro, that phone is slightly cheaper but it serve it's purpose.
*
Yes, but come on, 15fps? I think ANY phone in the RM900 range can do better... anyway... I'm not using the phone as a primary video recorder, but it does come in handy sometimes smile.gif

Then simple, choose another phone with a better fps? haha for someone like me i only occasionally take some pictures candid camera type and heavy messaging and txting. so it's fine with me. You might want something better than.

But everything else hits the right spot. That's the problem laugh.gif

Went and got myself an Ace this evening. Somehow, was very careless and only noticed the microSD not in the box when I got home doh.gif Never mind whose fault it was, what I want to know is what's inside the card? Anything I'd miss? Or is it just some Samsung sync software? Thanks a lot smile.gif

I need a new phone now, but will Digi offer this phone?
If Digi have this phone for RM400 after i bought one then hailat lo..

Digi should offer this for RM399 + 2-year contract. Sure many buyers. Instead, Digi came up with 2 other devices - a CSL tablet and a Huawei entry level Android... and it's not even a new phone tongue.gif

QUOTE(LPJ @ Feb 27 2011, 12:27 AM)
I just bought this this phone today for RM920 in SS2. Not the cheapest i guess but that's the usual shop I buy my handphone, I go there for the good service.

So far so good, quite smooth. Try Papago just now, without AGPS, got lock in about 3min, don't know this is good or not. I am still exploring the phone, it is my first android, so I don't really know what to expect.
*
Is it Atlantis Communications? Near Restoran Lorong Seratus Tahun? What Android version are you using, Malaysia or Thai?

QUOTE(yehlai @ Feb 27 2011, 12:39 AM)
Read this, if you gona buy SGA before 31st Mac.

Galaxy Ace is good enough for me, but Digi dont have this phone yet.
Current Digi plan for DHD is good, because first 6 months unlimited data plan is only RM23.

If i get Galaxy Ace:

Phone: RM900
24 months Digi: 63x23 = RM1512

Total = RM2412
If i get HTC DHD:

Phone: RM1400
24 months Digi: 23x6 + 63x18 = RM1272

Total: RM2672
That means i just need to top up RM260 to upgrade from Galaxy Ace to DHD.
Unless Digi will come out with a Galaxy Ace smart plan, or DHD smart plan will be more worth it.
*
If getting DiGi Smart Plan, that is true... but you need upfront payment for the phone and RM500 deposit, so 1399 + 500 = 1899, this may turn off some people. For those who don't need Smart Plan (like me), can just buy Ace first biggrin.gif
