Sensation is dual core 1.2 GHZ meanwhile Infuse 4G is single core 1.2 GHZ
Infuse 4G has 4.5 inch screen meanwhile sensation 4.3 inch screen, although Infuse 4G is a new phone it still uses Android 2.2 meanwhile Sensation is equipped with latest Android 2.3, Sensation has better spec but u said u like big screen rite ? so Infuse 4G has bigger screen, 4.5 inch screen is seriously big man but it up to u to pick which one u like
*
i think better take sensation.better spec, higher res lcd, and not too big.
4.5+case is quite un pocketable already sweat.gif

Nope, I am using it for purely business and office purposes.

then choose the portable and longer battery one..

Defy suit ur budget nicely..
my battery stil 27% since 7am
wifi on, big resolution than most smartphone phone. 480x854,
fast TI Omap CPU also..
quite durable one.. not really need to pamper like other phone..
size also quite compact,
Camera also not really bad. above average speaker phone.
very easy to put custom ROM (make its way faster than stock)
than almost impossible to brick.. ( SGS can brick and need speacial tool to revive)

yeah.. my 2 cent thumbup.gif

1. Brand. Nokia or SE
2. Budget. Rm500- 600
3. Specs. - no idea - new in Android world  laugh.gif
4. What you need in the phone - Prefer with video call

icon_rolleyes.gif

emm.. with ur budget, i dont find any android that have front camera bro.
Nokia also dont have any Android phone for now.. yet.
maybe if u really want to start with android,
i can suggest Spice Mi300 (RM4xx), Ideos X5 (RM820+-) or Motorola Defy (RM999),Samsung Galaxy S (RM1050 )
quite good phone with their price.
can give u quite some satisfaction.

other than those also okay, just these 3 really cover those entry and midrange phone nicely
and all 4 no front camera
(same as all 1st gen android phone)
only 2nd gen android and above might have front cam

emm.
not sure bout sound quality etc.
no read any review yet anywhere.
but if u really into music,
even take normal phone combine with a good earphone/headphone.
the result is almost comparable.

Ya i c spec via net is small

So maybe consider W8 or x8  wub.gif
*
yup. quite small. like girly phone lah.
haha.

btw W8 and X8 looks almost same.
still cant find any different with both phone.
hardware also not sure.
some site say w8 just have 168MB of RAM and just 128MB of internal Memory.
thats is way too low to multitasking a bit
even my old spice with bigger RAM also feel a bit lag when run 3-4 background apps.
(Music player, IM client (ebuddy),few widget,)

so for starter maybe u can try other..
Ideos X5 works well.


BTW.. here Final Words from GSMArena

QUOTE
Final words
You'd be better off not hoping to be surprised by the Sony Ericsson W8. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. This phone is supposed to have sentimental value. This may sound tacky but entry level phones usually fail to have a compelling enough story to tell. That's where Walkman comes in. And it's not like Sony Ericsson had to try too hard either.
So, it's a low-end smartphone through and through. The screen is small and the OS version is outdated. It's a middling feature set at best but the connectivity is solid and stuff like the FM radio and social network support make sense.
It’s not a bad phone if you’re looking for a smartphone on the cheap. It’s got the basics covered and doesn’t promise anything it can’t deliver.
We guess it was time the Xperia X8 got updated too, just like its Xperia siblings. It's only that it never got anywhere near the major updates.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini could still be an option to consider while the Xperia X8 hardly deserves a nod. The original mini has a lower resolution display but brings a better 5 megapixel autofocus camera and a very competitive price tag of about 120 euro. The X8 has hardly anything to offer over the W8.

what kind of video u watch??what type..using what player..never experience before..care to share bro??

emm. i kinda a junkie for a clear and NOT pixelated screen which both Wildfire failed to impressed.
even that cheapo Spice Mi300 can impressed me more..

try play video with MoboPlayer®, 2nd to none the best player out there ( do suggest me one, i gladly will test it out)
and play speed really depend on ur video codec/compression also la..
dun say u play 1GB+ single HD movie on ur phone? that might be laggy sweat.gif

Wildfire is user friendly but even screen transitions might lag. User experience wise, i think the Huawei is better.
I tried playing a 2.5GB Blu-Ray "ahem" FLAC audio full hd anime(30 minutes) on my galaxy tab. No lag at all on the stock player. Most other players don't support HD or even Full HD movies.
*
Yeah.. Ideos X5 is way way better lor.. thumbup.gif

emm.
not sure. but last time the biggest i playis Devil BDRip 8xxMB mkv file with MoboPlayer on my Defy
no problem.. biggrin.gif

How is the performance of Huawei ideos x3? Does it really support flash? I am stuck between x3 or x5. I know x5 is better but it also more expensive.If x3 performance is bad then i might go for x5
*
emm.. not really fast la for x3. almost same like spice.. but for me Spice is more smoother.
my suggestion is stil X5 or Defy for cheap and fast all round phone.
(X5 rooted and customed ROM will be way way way faster.. just visit X5 official lowyat.net thread..)
just go for it.. no regret. icon_rolleyes.gif

just play with HTC sensation today..
after few time play with it and later compare with SGS2.
i seriously wil take sensation anyminute.

reason.
build quality is better
design on sgs2 is like a flat thin square gadget only. no feeling of premium stuff which sensation really did great
picture/ video looks more vibrant on sgs2 but on sensation its look more natural.
when compare side by side, qHD resolution on 4.3 sensation really make sgs2 like an old phone.
