How is it compared to Xperia X8 and HTC Wildfire?

ah... u got me...
so SGS good deal?
I dont wanna turn to iPhone cos Im planning to get iPod Touch... hmm...

For the better GPU yes. I'll recommend the HTC Desire S instead for better future support, the aluminium build and also there is a flash for the camera unlike the SGS. AP sets of the Desire S going for around 1550.

see the display comparison

some people like S.AMOLED, some prefer SCLCD due to the colour is more natural & unlike super amoled which is saturated[as u can c the white color is like light blue]

well, Super AMOLED still wins in terms of sunlight legibility & better battery efficiency

AP or ORI is up to u...
cuz most people got their phone spoil/repair needed after warranty EXPIRED [if u take good care which is like 3-5 years after u 1st using]

Added on April 18, 2011, 3:54 pmX8 should not be considered due to outdate OS & the screen reso just the same as LG O1

HTC Wildfire wins for having flash support[not full 10.1] in the web browser, Gorilla Glass & HTC Sense UI
but as i said, the low screen resolution will limit the choice of apps
v2.1, ugradeable to 2.2

LG Optimus One, v2.2, ugradeable to 2.3
better screen resolution & newer OS to date [hence got more apps choice than Wildfire]
slightly better proc..
DivX/XviD video support

Wildfire supports CM7(2.3) so i guess that is another upside of it. The flash support thing can be nulled by using Skyfire anyway. Not worth of mentioning unless you mean full flash 10.1 support. The Higher screen reso on the O1 is an upside because the difference is quite significant.

wildfire official upgradeable to 2.3 oso?
eh wad is CM7?

oic...

hmm.. I think I'll go SGS instead. Desire S seems nice but somehow off budget.
Try to get something as budget as possible.
Btw new batch SGS comes with Froyo and upgradable to Ginger? and lastly...
RAM is the memory that we store our Apps while ROM is the speed right...?

CyanogenMod. One of the most popular custom roms.

galaxy SL vs X10... which 1 better ? after root etc and which 1 more all rounded? will SL got 2.3?

when is the coming android phone with dual core reach malaysia?? i dunno i should buy the HTC desire HD or wait for the dual core phone..

personal thought's required on which one would you choose ,

1.motorola defy
2.SE Xperia x10
3.acer liquid metal

x10. Better camera and confirmed to have 2.3 "sometime" soon.
SL has less ram and a camera with no flash. Also has a nerfed GPU. The only upside is the SC-LCD screen.

LG Optimus 2x but i wouldn't recommend it because it has a few issues. Constant reboot, yellow tint below the screen, and a few others. It is already here btw. Selling for RM1899

Defy for being shock proof, water proof, and the Q7230 with 512mb ram. Stupid Motoblur is present though.
x10. Better camera and confirmed to have 2.3 "sometime" soon. 1ghz snapdragon.
ALM. Sub par camera, Q7230 processor, 512mb ram, Stock android, but has no custom support. Aluminium battery cover.

Performance wise: ALM/Defy
Camera wise:x10
Durability wise: Defy
Custom rom wise:x10
Value wise:ALM
Screen wise: ALM uses an OLED screen IINM/Defy Gorilla glass
Personal recommendation: Defy if you tend to infuse physical damage on your phone frequently. x10 if you tend to use the camera alot. ALM if you're not any of these.

oledi got LG Optimus 2X original, Motorola ATRIX [AP]..

Hi all,

I thought of getting a phone for my son, and at the same time I can have the chance to try out Android phone.

I am quite interest in Sony Ericsson X10 Mini, can anyone tell me what is the market price (roughly, original set)?
Does this phone any good if I would like to try out this and that (maybe flashing custom ROM, some modding?)

If X10 Mini isn't any good, can anyone recommend something close to this price range?
Do you recommend Samsung?
By the way, not really interest in Motorola.

My background:
I am totally new to Android but am interest to explore and discover more on this platform.
Was a long time Nokia smartphone user, which also flashing hack/flashed custom firmware.
Recently jumped ship to iPhone 4 when it released in Malaysia, because my last Nokia N97 disappoint me badly!
I hate slow and lagging operation of phone, which N97 does exactly!
I saw Sony Ericsson X10 Mini on YouTube and the operation are quite smooth.

Thank you all in advance~

x10 mini ? dropped till like 550~650 [ori]
not really recommend u to go for x10 mini

screen small [do u personally tried it? u may find its difficult to type with that small screen], outdate OS [stuck @ 2.1 while now is 2.3/3.0 era]

please state ur budget?
if within 1k, can consider to get Acer Liquid Metal, bootloader unlocked hence can do complete custom stuff..
its 3.6" WVGA screen, android 2.2 officially, 800mhz proc [like the Desire Z ones]

Oh yes, my budget is below 1K...
Thanks for your recommendation of Acer Liquid Metal, just watched a few videos of this phone on YouTube and it is indeed a very nice phone.

I will do some searching to find out what is bootloader unlocked and how it benefits me, as I said, I'm totally new to this Android thing...
I will keep checking back here to learn more...

It benefits you how so, your son can learn how to customize his own stuff but in the process there is a chance of him screwing up the whole thing and spoiling it so its not recommended unless you're an enthusiast.

Hahaha... You are right, he will definitely screwed things up if I let him touch the heart/core of the phone.

I think I can consider myself enthusiast, I applied Nokia hacks, flashed custom firmware, jailbroke iPhone etc... I like customization...
but I know ZERO about Android, so maybe I can say, this is to replace his phone while at the same time I have a chance to "experiment" on it.
It's ok if the current purchase not 100% customizable because when the time I'm ready to go more serious, I might buy one suitable model for myself.

I've seen many Android phone's hands on review on YouTube and, I can say, almost all of them operate very smoothly, this is what I like about this "system".

What about HTC? Do they have a under 1K model that worth looking at?

I thought X8 can upgrade until Eclair?

and Froyo too. http://www.dt2.in/2011/04/tutorial-install...-xperia-x8.html

How much is HTC Wildfire nowadays? Below RM800, perhaps?
