today i went to 3(!) shopping malls in Penang. Prangin Mall, Gurney and BJ complex.

All out! Got money also cannot buy (tho I saw a few units at SenQ) cos I wanted to trade in my antique P1i....sigh
*
I was considering these phone: defy, aria, used legend, x10 and ace.

compared to all, ace seems to be the best choice i have in term of spec and price. unfortunately it was not easily available in Penang. if in later weeks seller increase the price to above 1k, i guess i will be buying other phone rather than this. anyway, which senq u say got ready stock? i didn't see people using this phone why it so scarce?

Seems like your budget is well over 1k.  Why not go for the Acer Liquid Metal?  Best bang for the buck for phones around 1.3k.  Aria is too overpriced, 1.4k for a 600Mhz 3.2" screen Android.

prefer a phone which got many user and sells a lot. better compatibility and developer will able to optimise the platform. if ace got a lot of user. possibility to have new updates is high.

senq in Gurney, saw 2 units available at RM999 with 1+2yrs warranty.

i did ask seriously at BJ stalls, they dare not commit any price as it is out of stock.

For me my limit is RM999, if Samsung price it higher than that I'll be going for Optimus 1. at RM1.2k my choice is Defy...

saw defy at 1499 in BJ. where u got 1.2 for defy?

consumers gotta be cooperative and shouldn't tolerate this kind of seller behaviors.  let them jack it up and let them hold the stocks.  eventually, we're still gonna be the winner of the price wars.  rclxm9.gif 

say NO to those blood suckers!  icon_rolleyes.gif

yup2 agree. lets start the waiting game. (but hands is veeeery itchy) cry.gif

Hardware wise, ace beat da living crap of other alternatives.but when it comes 2 tradein value,brand n UI..i mean, samsung touchwiz isnt dat appealing compared 2 htc sense,curve 9300 has support for BB OS6 but 2meg camera (lousy).when hold ace,its kinda felt cheap.can u guys psycho me into buying ace.help smile.gif

u better buy aria. ace not good. trust me. i plan to buy but still not bought because of the price keep fluctuate and hard to find in penang. so, don't buy ace. aria is cooler. the back cover got screw and yellow inside.

i've get my hands with x10. what i can tell u is, design wise, galaxy ace is better. x10 is big and bulky. plus the front back and menu button is plain glossy button not like ace.8megapix camera for me got not much diffrent when view in its 4 inch display. color wise even if they tell its 65k, compare to galaxy ace, i didn't notice much. but 2.3 vs 2.2.1 i think is also not a big deal. the deal breaker for x10 compared to Ace is actually the processor, ram, internal memory (1gb) and the ability to shot better video i guess..


Added on March 27, 2011, 7:02 pman update to my quest of galaxy ace in penang, the shop forummer tell me(where he bought it at rm900) is no where to be found, I went just now to Bukit Jambut(its like sg wang in penang), they quote me for rm999 but must order and wait(i don't want to wait). i'm started to think, maybe better for me to get galaxy sl. its RM1700, better specs
