well that's a stupid way to solve this problem, install less apps on a phone that costs more than 2k? if i buy a phone that cost me that much, i'd expect it to perform whenever and whatever i tell it to. froyo and above does control app storage pretty well, and newer apps and games mostly are installed in the external storage, but this doesn't justify SE giving crap storage on their high end phone and charging more comparing to it's competitors. This is one of the factors (in consideration) of me NOT getting this phone for my gf. But IF this phone can be perm root and s-off before the IS, it WILL BE my first choice

if within 3 months none of the new phones (IS, ARC and so on) can be rooted, i might as well get her a DHD

true. but why ur gf needs to use rooted phone? for paid apps? or custom roms?

Depends on priorities doesn't it? And yeah, installing less apps is an option for some, but I don't think it's a solution / alternative. You do wanna try out all sorts of apps, and leave alot of them there for those rare occasions you'll use em.

when can i get ori IS in lowyat? or any retail store? (not digi)

IIANM Digi exclusivity is one month. so most probably stores / shops will sell IS in early May

So if I buy a RM800 phone, can I install less apps? then the next day I buy a 2.5k phone, suddenly I need to install more apps? Come on Read my original post, I already stated, 'everybody has different priorities'. Install 1,000 apps <> fully utilize the phone. Price of phone also do not proportionately determine the number of apps you should install. You need 2GB internal space to be happy, somebody else probably needs a great camera lens to be happy. Of course if your eyes can't pick out photo details, your choice is pretty clear cut.

SE giving crap storage is like HTC giving crap cameras. Some say 'oh SE storage not that bad what'. Also some will say 'oh HTC camera not that bad what'. Equal sides of the coin, my bro.

Sounds like everybody's GF is hardcore and techie, needing the latest and greatest Android. Luckily my other half only requires camera, dictionary, Facebook, notes

jack sparrow software, like the spb 3d needs to gain root access to use. custom roms (although there is none at the moment), without this, android won't be interesting anymore. and the most important thing in a mid/high end phone, OVERCLOCKING! which makes android the best smartphone OS in the world

So the gingerbread is coming on june?

ur gf has interest in overclocking a phone?

I have both incredible s and xperia arc
For camera n video record quality xperia arc. Other features incredible s. For performance - file access, apps launching, apps install, UI slickness and smoothness the incredile s is very much ahead. On a score of 10 to incredible s i rate the arc a score of 7 and below

thanks Benny.. do u mind to share comparison of night shot / indoor shot between Arc and IS?

It'z both oso connecting to internet????

of course when I buy an expensive piece of gadget i'd expect at least what the competitors are giving me. if u buy a merc and it gives u crap interior like a vios will u make noise? of course u'll complain (if u r really that stupid of buying a merc with a vios interior). and pls think about it, a phone like the arc can install much much more apps like 3d games which the cheaper alternatives can't run, this makes u NEED more internal storage space.

of course........OC is one of the best things in android, without it life will be so boring.

u dun see my point here. i wont ask if it is you who like oc. i myself an overclocker since 2002..

Yes. Definitely. It is ur mobile data/internet.

*************************************************************

I'm from iPhone family. Now, IS. I think, in term of camera, iPhone definitely outshine IS. However, since camera is not my concern, I don't bother that much. Selection on device is based on what u looking at. Of course, before you buy something, u read all the review and make your own judgement.

As for me, I have been using iPhone (iOS) for about 2 years and looking for new excitement in mobile experience, which is Android.

So far so good.
