The Cons are understandable considering the price is RM900+.  But why did he complain about the lack of AMOLED?  Come on, even Desire HD doesn't have AMOLED.  And talking about slow processor and low resolution, they're both better than Wildfire's already, which cost more.

On the good side, the review should make the demand less and end the price-jacking nonsense.

I'm a working class dude who doesn't have time to play around all features on my phone (take example of my previous Nokia 5800 - a bit wasted investment). What I need is just a little bit social connectivity, decent features and decent apps. Hence, there's no need for me to go for a high end androids unless I'm still a student or high-class geek, lol.

I should get a berry, but then, it's boring to own one, too serious looking IMO and the screen is so small.

Iphone also nice, but I rather wait for Iphone 5, because Iphone 4 is sucking battery too much and it's way too expensive to justify, lols.

Iphone 3GS was epic and even there are still many loyal fans for IPhone 3GS.

So my bet, Ace spec is almost equivalent to the 3GS and you can get it virgin new now, lol.

It's worth to try. smile.gif

If you don't mind of the absence of multitouch, then x10 is a good choice. smile.gif

4gb not enough. Take 8gb minumum. Install papago already take 1 gb.
How much you sell?
*
Not much, considering my unit was abused physically quite bad, lol. Around RM2xx without the micro SD given. I know, It's kinda cheap and I should sell it myself, but I'm a very busy man now, not much time to sell on my own. So less hassle with trading in.

QUOTE(xDragonZ @ Mar 17 2011, 07:53 PM)
Yay! at last i got my own Ace ^^ for RM1050 ...

a long story today... i went to so many shops tpday... and the Samsung Dealer Shops tell me that Retail price is RM1199 and now they got promotion RM999 but they dont have stock... after i heard that i walk away... =.=' RM1199.. LOL!

then at last i found a shop got the SGA black and they sell RM950 , so i ask another shop (they sell RM930 but no stock) to get the RM950 SGA phone .

RM950 -> SGA
RM100 -> 8GB (Class 4) *I cant find Class 6 so i get class 4 ... actual price RM167*
RM0 -> iPhone 3Gs Screen Protector *Not yet open... still using the original provided temp SP with samsung words on it. I dont dare to trim it...*

Total : RM1050

---
After trying out ... the things i dont like is..

The Screen pixel and the video quality!! lol! others function is not bad for me ^^

---

Anyone want to buy Casing / SGA SP.. ??

i want to bulk order from ebay..

I just wanna ask, where did you guys buy the SGA in penang? A phone dealer in Sunway Carnival Mall told my dad that all the SGA was called back due to customers complaining that the SGA hangs alot. My dad really wants the SGA, and I would like to know where you guys bought it.  smile.gif

May i know how much is the longest battery life that you have experience so far?
*
Mine, with wifi around 1 hour plus(staggered sessions), with normal voice call+smsing and without battery management apps, It could last around 2 days.

Now I'm just using 'battery doctor' apps and let's see the performance smile.gif

QUOTE(lee82gx @ Mar 19 2011, 05:44 PM)
I managed to get 1 at Megamall prai today, RM950 with 2 back covers.
They are trying to unload another cheapo Samsung phone at RM999 bundled but I decided not need it.

so far still in the learning curve i guess...its way more advanced than the Symbian I was using.
*
That's a very good deal smile.gif

QUOTE(Low Yat FreaK @ Mar 19 2011, 06:14 PM)
Cant find any galaxy ace @ 999
Most of them are 1050 ~ 1299

Wow, they really manipulate the market. There's no reason they should sell above official retail price.

Get Galaxy SL if you a hardcore multimedia user, else Ace is suffice.

Except, I wanna know, is there any equivalent size samsung battery with higher capacity for Ace ? I feel the power capacity isn't enough, lol.

if the price exceeD 1.2k, which phone you think is worth to buy than this ace?
btw, how to pronounce 'ace' and S???does seem the seller will confius? biggrin.gif
yes, sellers do get confused and also S is a bit pricier. If they say S, just say 5830. they should know which one.

It's no brainer.

Just tell them Samsung A-C-E. Spell it. haha laugh.gif

Good deal, but it's kinda tiring to pay 24 months.

even myself bought an LCD TV at sen heng and pay 6 months installment also tiring, lol.

lol sama la. The shopkeeper nearly took my old 8GB and I was like, no no, i want my old SD card!

At first I wanted to let go everything, but then I was 50-50, regarding the safety and privacy issue if they managed to dig out the deleted files inside. I was then told that my old 8gb micro SD is class 6, which is still superior, lols (Forgot, longtime already didn't open the SD card). So I took it back.

Clear all the contacts in your SIM card. That's what I did.
This would just hide the contacts in your contact list. Somehow in sms contacts it wouldn't hide it as well.

me also facing same problem.... last choice is to delete all contact in sim. no more duplicate in contact n sms
*

No need to delete la.

Just hide 'view contacts from sim'. That's all.
