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?

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...

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.

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
That's a very good deal smile.gif
Wow, they really manipulate the market. There's no reason they should sell above official retail price.

ya. thats why i couldnt even get another RM5 discount tongue.gif

What I can recommend is to get thru Samsung dealers, like mine has 2 yrs official warranty sumore. They can't sell above the RRP.

BTW the dealer just auto install ehem papago for me, without root so i'm pretty sure no need to root

LOL

i'm also facing slow gps lock from time to time, and at other times it locks within a minute.

For the first time i encounter this problem I rebooted and it solved the problem. Didn't try it again, lazy to wait.

Care to help verify?

Three options to do the house keeping.

1. Login to your Google Account using PC and delete from there. The phone will sync later.
2. In phone contacts, Menu -> More -> Display Options. Check "Only contacts with phone numbers".
3. Using PC, create a new group in google contact page. Move the unneeded into this new group. In the phone contact, Menu -> More -> Display Options, select Google under "Select contacts to display" and uncheck the new group.

Choose which one you like to do  smile.gif

i run an app called gps status, lock the position before switching on my papago.

if i'm driving(!) i find it takes between 1-4 minutes to lock.

If I'm walking or standing under a clear sky it takes less 5s to 2 minutes.

Once locked, papago will get gps lock in less than 10s.
