what is bootloading though? some can still root while its lock the bootloading right? or bootloading just mainly means the boot screen

what's a custom rom ? what does it do to your phone ?

its like tuning a car by CUSTOM
to make it better, faster & smoother performance
also can make it to have newer version while waiting official or doesn't get update to latest

if really want HTC only, HTC Incredible S/Desire S

if you want dual core power & don't mind other brand, try LG Optimus 2X

at first i am deciding between galaxy ace and motorola defy, now suddenly i saw that galaxy SL price dropped to my budget list.. ==

is it worth to go for galaxy SL? since it's now oni RM300+ separate them

also wanna know is it defy better than ace in term of spec?
*
base on specs & same version [defy will get 2.2 soon], defy win

just think you nid a tough phone, can go bath/swim with it, u can smack ppl with it...
or you wan videocall camera & full customizing[SGSL got bootloader unlocked, correct me if im wrong]

hehe, thanks for your reply. I am new to here. is it Lg optimus nice in term of durable and stability? Bside I want to installs many apps in my phone, is it to use with Lg optimus?
*
durable then not sure

all android share same market & optimus 2x use WVGA screen, supports 98% apps in the android market rclxms.gif
stability? if u feel its not good enough with u, go search around for custom ROMs or rooting it

thanks alot , ALM custom support is no good ? Then i should go for xperia x10 right ? custom support is good , 2.3 promised to be out , camera is much better . now i'm torn between these two . processor i know x10 is better , but the RAM of ALM is twice of X10 ?

conclusion ?

Added on April 20, 2011, 12:09 pmcolours display of x10 is 65k where as ALM is 16M , does this make a big difference in the screen graphics so and so ? and not to forget that x10 only has dual touch ? if i got that right , and the ALM has multi touch or something like that . explanation ?
*
i would advise x10
u will get official 2.3 & oledi got a big community supporting..

i think the less RAM thing doesnt matter, u can use apps2sd [a apps that allows u to put apps in microSD card]
(correct me if im wrong, sifus)

x10 display is 16m ready just that due to the OS version limitation[when 1.6] it only support max 65k, but once its upgrade, its 16m on the go but i think liquid metal still better in terms of display despite of same resolution, ALM got OLED screen [just like TVs, obviously LED better than LCD]
yea x10 maximum dual touch, due to hardware limitation

yup, acer liquid series all support multi touch[i confirmed by google searching around]

but ALM ain't that bad either... tongue.gif

Samsung Galaxy S I9000 or Samsung Galaxy SL I9003?
Which phone is better or worth buying?
*
GS over SGSL is slightly better GPU & Super AMOLED
some prefer Super Clear LCD[on SGSL] over Super AMOLED [on SGS], because they feel super amoled color is abit saturated [u c white colour like light light blue]
anyway, super amoled got better performance under sunlight legibility & better battery lifetime

SGSL is much more bulkier than SGS & @here just 4gb internal
while sgs got 8/16gb choice

unless u really save money, get SGSL
cheaper than SGS for 300-400 [comparing ori price]

SGSL- 1.2~1.3k
SGS AP - 1.4k~
SGS ori - 1.8k~

hi every.. i had been following this thread for few days.. but so far there is no ppl discussing on Desire S. Any comment on Desire S

Indeed my first intention is to get SGS2 or Htc sensation, but it seem still very long to wait till they launch!

To all of u, Desire S or Incredible S? i had read thru some compare website.. both these phone seem identical part from the screen size and camera pixel.. can anyone point out more different?? any current user?

Is the desire S available in market? if yes, around what price??

off topic, tethering should available to all android right?
*
sgs2 & HTC sensation will be over 2.2k [MAYBE]

desire S/incredible S just below 1.8k
desire S available @ Celcom so far, LYN garage sales got APs selling

i dunno whats their difference other than that little 0.3" screen size diff..
also, desire s is 2.3 while incredible S is 2.2 & waiting 2.3
IS's 1.3MP front camera + 8mp main camera vs DS's VGA front camera + 5mp main camera

what you mean by full customizing and the bootloader unlocked? is it i don't need to root SGSL to gain access for more in android market, or i can flash the rom easily? kind of new in smartphone thing =(

so for defy, i can only use the default theme/UI for motorola? kind of blur

for customize wise, SGS, Desire S and nexus S is better choice compare to Incredible S right?
I would like to get a phone that i can customize a lot! and of course prefer adobe flash supported

will it be a good idea to get Nexus S now and then sell it and buy sensation when it is out?? As i prefer dual core!
Do u all sifu think that nexus S will have the value at that time?

Any idea when will HTC sensation come out??
*
i now blur is it desire S got unlocked or locked bootloader like Incredible S rclxub.gif
nexus S sure got bEst support, 1st 1 get 2.3, custom rom oso alot developers...

i personally wont go Nexus S, i need good camera[i can barely get Arc with NS price]

x10 got dual touch support at least, so still acceptable...

Why SL over x10?
because...
multi-touch, SC-LCD [NOT S-LCD], 2.2 & full flash ready[x10 still need to wait for his rescue team. . .], video call camera, much more internal memory[4gb], wifi N support, gorilla glass & unlocked bootloader[important for those noob hacker fans]
