QUOTE(SihamZhai @ May 16 2011, 12:56 AM) Guys.. want a phone that can flash custom ROM. Now deciding, SGS Plus or Nexus S or SGS. What about HTC? Budget less than 2k HTC? Forget about it. New ones all locked bootloaders now.  Nexus S is good, SGS (if need microSD slot) not bad. |

QUOTE(SihamZhai @ May 16 2011, 01:27 AM) Should I get the AMOLED set or the SLCD set. Heard not a really big difference. AMOLED, Colors are vibrant. SLCD, a bit more realistic. Personal preference really. |

What you need in the phone (messaging and a little media.?) hey guys im a final year eng student planning to buy a phone. bt im confused between nokia E5 AND SAMSUNG GALAXY MINI.( anything equivalent to this should be good)  nokia e5 looks solid bt it runs on symbian which im not a fan of(used my dads e63 before) samsung galaxy mini looks great with capacitive touch and android but im afraid coz the last time i gt my touch scrn SE g900,the touch spoiled after 1 yr.(want a phone to last atleast 2years without any prob) So i would like suggestions on the best phone i should get based on my requirements.  Replies are very much appreciated Xperia X8 would be a better choice. (RM 550) But if you want a beast, Huawei Ideos X 5  (RM 800) |

QUOTE(nicregi @ May 31 2011, 08:49 PM) Really? I thought SE is famous for Music. Outdated maybe There is a special sauce inside the Galaxy S/ Nexus S phones. ( got nice audio chip)  Nexus S? Cool! Might have a look at it. She not that 'tech' type... And Vanilla Android would suit her well. |

QUOTE(DarkSilver @ Jun 6 2011, 12:35 AM) It's slightly less laggy when updated to Android 2.3 OS if not mistaken. Nope, x10 owns the Ace. But, still, I think there's better choice? Samsung Galaxy Ace, perhaps? X10 got flash, 1 Ghz processor and 8MP camera. Can't say much but it's awesome on 2.3 I heard. |
