You mean your RM700 budget is directly from you x6? I thought you meant that you have RM700 and an x6 to trade in. If so, get the Samsung Galaxy 5 and flash it to Motafoca 2.0.9. I'm using it and its quite good. Very satisfying battery life.

owh like that.. within 1 year hp price can drop 15-30%
better wait until below rm1800 still a student

Work part time during the breaks la.. or work during events.. lol.. 1 year wont really drop a lot la.. maybe 300 bucks drop la..

hi, need some help/advice.
looking for 2 android phones:

1st
Brand: (having DEFY on mind now)
Price: ~1.5k
Any other better recommendation other then DEFY around this budget?

2nd
Brand: Any
Price: 1k - 1.3k
Specs: preferably larger screen size, android 2.1/2.2
Others: not too laggy, flash compatible

Thanks

1. Brand. (HTC)
2. Budget. (1.5k-2k)
3. Specs. (1GHZ / high as well RAM / latest android / larger the better)
4. What you need in the phone (Sense UI ? Touch Witz ? Battery life? Form factor? = ALL i need)

P.S. in my mind kinda liked HTC desire HD

Main reason of changing phone is my current hp kept turning off by itself.

Guys, getting really really confused right now between the Samsung Galaxy Ace and the Sony Ericsson Xperia x10.

Just found out that the x10 is getting the Gingerbread update after all, and that is a VERY big news. Further more, the price difference of the SGA and an AP set of the x10 is only around 100 ringgit.

So guys, opinions? :/

Though I'm very curious with the locked bootloader of the x10..

1st option: defy is a good phone, esp if you always drop your phone often. Other choices are HTC Desire AP, Samsung Vibrant or Captivate, HTC Desire Z

2nd Option: Galaxy Ace or X10 AP maybe?

Either DHD or wait for the Incredible S. Incredible S has a brighter screen, front camera and better battery, with a locked bootloader. DHD has bigger screen, no front camera and smaller battery. But you can calibrate to last 40 hours on moderate usage. The users here have the magic ingredient


Get the X10 if you don't wanna modify your phone a lot. Or without, Galaxy Ace is the way to go...

Phew...3 questions answered

Hi there,

Looking for budget smartphone below RM1k. (Samsung Galaxy Ace/LG Optimus One/?)

- customizable like OC or root with low risk.
- durable or less hardware problem from users
- most possibility to have android upgrade

Thanks and regards

but too bad that defy still running 2.1

1st: Get the Incredible S at RM1800. Higher ram and better build quality.
2nd: Acer Liquid Metal. Flash compatible, 3.6" screen size and android 2.2 at RM 1100

Incredible S. 1.8k, 2nd highest available ram period, latest android coming q2. 4.3" screen. Same as DHD but better battery life.

x10 DOES NOT HAVE A LOCKED BOOTLOADER. THERE ARE CUSTOM ROMS FOR IT. If you don't mind the idea of not getting any future updates, get the Acer Liquid Metal. Has superior build quality compared to the x10, more ram, smaller more vibrant screen, but a suckier camera.

LG Optimus One has been confirmed to get gingerbread directly from LG.
Ace would most probably get Gingerbread then nothing else. But both of them do not support flash but Ace has a better processor(Overclocked MSM7227)

Guys, need your help to give some inputs between these 2 phones (Samsung Nexus S and HTC Incredible S)
Things I am looking :
1) battery life ( calls,SMS,web browsing with wifi)
2) features with stock rom
3) gps features
4) screen ( color, clarity, size doesn't matter)
5) Speed
6) built quality

Which one better for me? Or you can recommend one any phone. Budget unlimited.

Samsung Galaxy II: Average battery life, best screen, dual core but IMO the build quality is also average
HTC Desire S: Supposedly good battery life, Single core Q8255, Average 3.6" S-LCD screen, GPS is good and build quality is above average
Incredible S: Below average battery life, Single core Q8255, 4.3" S-LCD, speed should be slower than the Desire S or the SGS2 from rendering a bigger screen. Build quality above average
Nexus S: Vanilla, should have best battery life compared to all these phones, single core Hummingbird, SGS GPU, S-AMOLED screen, Build quality average.

IMO wait for Desire S or get the SGS2

SGS 2 for Dual core and better camera
Desire S for single core and better build quality.

i think defy 2.1 is upgradable to 2.2

I want to clarify few mistakes you made, since first post.

Incredible S DOES NOT have a better camera than Desire HD. Both are the same with 8 MP camera, dual LED flash. Except the fact that, Incredible S have Front-camera (1.3MP) which DHD have nothing.

Incredible S is using S-LCD (Desire HD is LCD only). But Incredible S DOES NOT have 4.3". Its only 4.0", whereby DHD is 4.3".

As for the build quality, I will not agree with you, but I won't argue with it, as different people have different opinion. Some may think IS's build is better, some for DHD. Both have pros and cons.. Surely some will prefer aluminum casing over plastic casing, and vice versa.

Just my corrections, no hard feelings

hi guys. me planning to buy SE xperia x8. is it a good choice, or any better choice for that price range guys (around rm800)?

LG optimus one or the samsung galaxy Ace.. much better than the X8



They promised 2.2 by Q2 2011. Lets see what motorola does ok?

It does have a locked bootloader. Works are being done to crack it. ROMS can be flashed, but I think the kernel can't be flashed.

The camera is better. Engadget reviewed the IS and said that it was. So did a few other reviews. I went to GSMArena and compared the photos. The Desire HD had a granier picture and was more vibrant and fake while the IS had a more smooth, cool picture and realistic colours.
