Yes. Due to the screen 4.3" and pricing now 1400.
Just the issue is battery life. But you can slowly purchase a performance battery later.

Its a superphone for few months. When LG, HTC and maybe SE catch up it will be a regular joe.

Garage sale in forum. So many. Please cod and many have shop.

Front facing camera does come with Galaxy SL.
It should support 3G call. Do inquire on their own thread.

Not optimus 2x?

Dont get the problematic ace. Get huawei x5 at 850. Im getting it this friday as well.

Use Huawei X5 and install Papago alongside with MFM Maps.
Should be more update compare to OVI Maps and I have used X6 before.
I would prefer MFM maps. Tx.

Ask away. Maybe some of it we can answer. I have a Galaxy Tab 3G.

Added on May 25, 2011, 7:45 amWhats the main criteria you look for in a phone?

---

Added on May 25, 2011, 7:50 amI used to use a BB before going for Nokia X6. Desire Z is nice but I dont like slide out keyboard.
I have to use both hands unlike my BB. troublesome if I have to sms on the escalator or while walking like my Dopod 838 Pro.
So I suggest you get a 4.2, 4.3" android. The screen is big enough for a full portrait qwerty type like what I am using now Xperia Arc.
It takes time to get used to but its faster than typing in BB now and you can rotate to landscape if you need to type long sentences like surfing the net and
require more space. Other that Arc the cheaper and bigger alternatives is the Desire HD and AP is at 1400. Only issue is short battery but you can buy a third party performance battery.

Then I can recommend you my one of my current phone. The SE Xperia Arc. Apset in garage sale is selling at 1750.
Best in Android camera and especially low light using the Exmor R. I don't bring my Ixus around anymore. Display is very good due to the Bravia engine.
Large display good enough for typing and web browsing nicely. HDMI out put as it can be a multi format video player after you install MoboPlayer.
Watch video and picture in large display using HDMI thru your LCD. Nice standard interface and fast enough for day to day use.
I am also using for GPS with installed Papago and MFM Maps with it. Just find a universal car holder for this.
Slim and nice design that fit in your pocket nicely. Best design in Android yet.

For me X8 is better as the screen is bigger. I used to use it.
X10 2.6" screen is too small. Why not top up a bit to get the Ideous X5.
Bigger screen 3.8" fast processor and large RAM. 5MP camera and phone should last longer.
RM850 ori set with 2 years warranty. If not X8 is the best I can recommend now.

You can get that for your budget?
X5 is faster and better actually.

850 selling for garage sale for original 2 years warranty set.

Added on May 25, 2011, 12:19 pmSamsung Galaxy SL Ori 1199.
Desire HD AP 1400 + Performace Battery.

Lazy to change battery and tweaks? Get Samsung Galaxy SL. Very decent enough on stock.

Galaxy SL retail is 1299. You should push at least 1250 at your hometown.
Samsung margin is quite high. Garage sale is selling 1190.

Saw optimus is 2X is 1600 yesterday. Ori is 1899.

Where are you located?

Added on May 25, 2011, 5:39 pmI was using 2 BB model and nearly for 1 year.
Well if you used to BB short cut you make take up some time to use android.
After you learn full use and potential of android like me. You never turn back.
You can do so much in Android compared to BB. I only see BB is good for overseas trip and email on the go.
Email is quite easy on BB similar to sms funtion only. Thats all i see the advantage in BB.
Still the email in Android can be easy and have multiple software if you dont like the stock one.
Other than that android is better from my view.

I have few phone and all of them are android.
Arc, X10 and buying now X5.
So I dont think BB can even on par for for second phone.

Added on May 25, 2011, 5:41 pmI prefer incredible S if you are not going for custom rom.
Galaxy SL and Incredible S are both good phone. You cant go wrong with them.

Added on May 25, 2011, 5:44 pmSGS or SGS2? If SGS, Arc will win hands down.
SGS2 is now around 450 more than Arc. If you want super spec phone SGS2 is the choice.
If not, get a nice all rounder phone for Arc especially the design and camera.

I love the build quality, features and value for money for its price.
New model with 1ghz, Andreno 205 and HTC Sense.
Tested at the shop, speed is impressive and interfaces and feel.

Expensive phone must feel like expensive phone.
Mostly HTC has that feel. I beg to differ with Samsung android series.
But then again that just me. Go to phone shop and have a feel of these phones.
Just dont get brainwash by most of the idiot salesman that know nothing on android phones.

I went to a shop nearby to test the X5. First open price at 1099!
Then I say ehh RRP only 899. Then the say can give me discount and get 899 if i want to buy.
Discount on RRP?

After that told me they have been selling Android for 7 years already!
7 years! wow..

Standard accessories : Sandisk 8 gb micro SD card, wall USB port charger, handsfree kit, USB cable, 1500 mAH battery

Its a worth buy for me especially with all the goodies.

Added on May 25, 2011, 10:10 pmTry to manipulate people. The kid is looks like not even early 20's spitting out nonsense.
Andreno and Scorpion in Android also dunno still want to teach me about android. I show him all my phones and walk away after that.

AP from garage sale can get 1400. Should get the phone you like.
Otherwise you will be itchy to change later.

Poison time.



Nice phone indeed.

Deal Streak 5". From an ex user that move to arc. He saw its pretty good but too big for pockets sometimes.
Desire HD 1400 AP with performance battery.

branded 7" so far I know in the market is Samsung. Its still single core.
I don't recommend getting a 7" for a phone. Its way too big. The most you can take it Desire HD.
If you can wait and top up. Get SGS2 4.3" dual core and budget around 2.4k for ori in few months.

Don't think too much on the spec. Think usability, features and feel.
Browse around the spec for few phone you like. Get the price, warranty type. accessories and best place to buy.
Go there and have a feel of it and go back and decide.

For me there is no perfect phone unless arc is dual core and 1GB RAM and at least 2GB internal.
SGS2 does not fit my cup of tea in terms of design. spec is great now.
So I hope I can wait until few new phones that can compete with SGS2 with better design.
Until then I am happy with my Arc.

Again from what I see all you need SGS2.

Added on May 26, 2011, 7:32 amSamsung SGS SL 1199 Ori at garage sale or Incredible S AP 1400 AP.
Do a bit more research on what you need from the phone to do well.

look at picture quality than megapixel and single flash.
newer single flash can be far better than dual flash.

kuantan should be cheap for phones. or just drop by kl while on the way to buy.
or you can go yik foong and greentown mall in ipoh. most of the price there are decent.
some are cheaper than kl.
