err,advantage of dual core is can do more things without lag and other else(hard to explain)
just like computer,higher core higher performance
since ur budget like this,if u wan single core then go for SE xperia arc,dual core then go lg optimus 2x

But, based on her post.. She doesn't want a phone with all those high end specs.. She just need a smartphone for work with slight gaming. Maybe BB (non-Android) is good for her.

Desire hands down if you play with your phone.

WoW o.O so games are siding more to SGA? 1GHz VS 800Mhz wor.

go grab the desire, you misunderstood me there.

high end IMO is at least dual core cpu + 1gb / 512mb ram by today's standard,
which Desire S doesn't have, its still the 2nd Gen Snapdragon,
good enough to make the phone snappy and smooth, but not for dual core optimized games,
at best the Desire S is just a very good mid end.

BB is not an Android phone, and this is a Android phone recommendation thread.

is xperia x10 good?
i like sensitive screen, a good camera, a good Hd video recording, no lagging, no rebooting problems, all works smooth, good ram, good processor.

any comment, sifu?

Play means customising your phone etc... not games I would say Desire too...

ht incredible s and sony xperia arc , which one is better?

If games? Desire too?

sga and desire not for gamers... ..but overall desire ..btw desire n sga not in same level..not fair to compare...hehe

Yes. Because they're both from the same gen, sharing the same GPU. Adreno 200. Since the proc in SGA is factory overclocked, nonetheless its still overclocked and i don't like that. Besides, the camera and build quality of the Desire is better. Anyways have a look at the Desire S review i posted a while ago.

incredible s.... unless u r into camera & rooting?

Well, it is quite high end atm.. I know BB is not Android, I was just saying.

any suggestions for budget below rm1.5k and qwerty/physical keyboard is a must?

HTC Desire Z.

Desire S is good, but overdo my budget. AP sets are around 1.6k right?

Don't forget design, out-of-the-box Gingerbread, and Bravia screen.

Price will go down very soon once there is more supply. Right now AP price same as Incredible S AP price, and it's supposed to be lower-end model.

I know what you mean, but personally I wouldn't recommend any BB phone anyway

I'm quite new to Samsung phones.
What is the difference between Samsung's
Galaxy 5 & Ace?
Does it has good resale value?

Thanks
