Dual core phones aren't necessary. Yet. Most apps aren't dual core optimized yet(including benchmarks) so why chase the dual core fad? The touchscreen fad was a different thing as phones CAN utilze it. Dual core phones most probably wouldn't be fully optimized until at least next year.

its not about dual core laugh.gif
by that time Desire S and the real HTC flagship device will be available,
why bother with IS at all?

IMO go for IS if you dont mind having mediocre battery life. SRS Digital surround is superb. DHD's speaker quality is already good much less doubting its successor's capabilities. One of the best HTC cameras to date.

uhh, HTC's camera isn't THAT bad to begin with,let alone the speaker, which is also fine actually sweat.gif
both speaker and camera still gets the job done.

plus, why would you trust what khal said doh.gif

lol at khal being a Moto fanboy.

You're not wrong BTW.

SGS: Better battery life and has a much better GPU and also the S-AMOLED screen. Sadly faces lag issues without applying a fix(also faces GPS issues IINM). Build quality is average

IS: Good build quality, average battery life, SLCD screen(Not as good as S-AMOLED), Better camera than the SGS but has a weird shaped back. 1GHZ 8255(Same as its predecessor, the DHD), and has more ram(768mb). Would help during multitasking. Biggest dealbreaker is that it has a locked bootloader.

P.S: and yes, khal. I have tested a few phones before.

Samsung Galaxy Ace, SE Xperia X10 (need to wait for the upgrade though)...


Added on March 31, 2011, 10:50 am

Galaxy Ace
Pro:
Large monitor (for the class)
possible Gingerbread update from Samsung
Con:
No Flash

Liquid Metal
Pro:
Snapdragon CPU (=Flash)
pretty nice build
higher resolution (though monitor size is around the same)
Con:
Practically zero support in XDA forum (this can be a real deal breaker, even though hardware is good)

another choice would be SE Xperia X10, and wait for Gingerbread update, or Motorola Defy...

QUOTE(astria @ Mar 31 2011, 12:51 PM)
Nexus S (has front cam but normal back cam), Incredible S (same like Nexus S), Xperia X10 (good back cam but no front cam), if u can't wait...

else wait for SE Xperia Arc...

TQ Astria... mindset weight more on X10 now.. btw, do u know Xperia Arc will cost how much?

Arc would cost around 2.5k on launch. IMO if you need the camera, go for the IS. The camera is pretty good.

Not necessarily. If you're the kind who likes to stay connected all times then yes. If you're not, you can get the 1gb plan and switch off your mobile networks in the options.

. A smartphone does things a dumbphone can't. Just because you can't stay online all the time doesn't null its capabilities.. Just reduces it.

+1

buyin a phone bt not fully utilizin the full potential
is tat money well spent or money well throw

how bout we look at it from a more easier point of view

u buy a bmw or how bout a fairlady
u just drive maximum 60 to 80

wont gettin a proton b much more btr

wit tat said
its not bout downgradin the users or drivers here
bt wit the money saved in not gettin a bmw n gettin the proton
u can get some other stuffs n such

so if u are not plannin on usin the internet capabilities
why not save the extra money in buyin a normal phone n use the savings for a rainy day

tat is wat im tryin to tell my gf also
she is eyein the arc ....
