xplay is only good if u r serious serious want hard core gaming and with buttons (want phone 101% for games only).
other than that, no point getting the play.

guys, within 1.3k budget
would u guys opted for Samsung or HTC?  *i thought htc were below samsung.

i need a good gps and quality screen with a decent camera. some games would be nice.

and could you please specify which model?
thank you

i see that the htc inc s is highly recommended around here
correct me if i'm wrong, but isnt it priced around rm1.5k (ap) instead of rm1.3k?

Currently using Gingerbreaded X10.  Planning to give wife.  Looking for a replacement.  Won't be flashing custom ROM, but will root.

Screen:  the bigger the better (can't get used to 3.2" after using 4")
Resolution:  480x800 and above
OS:  must have official GB currently or in future
Budget:  around 1k (of cos, the cheaper the better)

I can only think of the Ideos X5 for sub-1k.  How does it stand up against the X10?

em..yup maybe north of 1.4-1.5k
but if u planning on using it for quite sometime.
it should be worthy.

the galaxy s seems to be a better prospect no..?

Hi, I currently have a budget of rm700 only, am I'm looking at the zte blade, I saw a lot of good reviews for the huawei x5 but I don't have the budget for it, I just want an android phone for surfing and customizing, any reviews for this phone? Or is there any other alternative? Thanks..

Can please recommend something below 1k
With good battery life, mainly use as wifi hotspot which can set security.
Any brand doesn't matter.

Hai,

I need to consider between two phone.

Sony Ericson Xperia X8 vs Samsung Galaxy Mini

i tried both of them. I figured out something between them.

Galaxy Mini are more touch sensitive than Xperia X8 (need little touch only)
Xperia X8 have higher resolution than Galaxy Mini.

I need a phone that support:

1. GPS(without Internet Connection).
2. Longer battery life
i would like to use my phone to remote control my laptop to transfer file. (LogMeIn) and some office task.

which one should i grab? Budget below RM750.

What is the advantage of x8 than galaxy mini?
or did you have any suggestion that price range below RM750?

But iPhone4 black new is around 2k only, yes?

Ideos X5 is pretty good and cheap too, RM8xx.

hi all,

Thanks for those who replied my questions. many of them recommended Huawei x5. i would like to ask about the sustainability of the phone. i want to get a realiable phone. Is this phone reliable? due to his price and its from China, i am kinda skeptical about it. any drawbacks for this phone from the phone users?

samsung galaxy ace v motorola MOTO ME525, which one is better?

specification comparison

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPho...4&idPhone2=3912

there's some clarification need to be done.

does moto has gpu in it?

i'm inclined to galaxy ace because it has gpu.

however if MOTO got gpu in it i would probably grab MOTO because it's screen has higher resolution than ace (480 x 854 pixels, 3.7 inches V. 320 x 480 pixels, 3.5 inches),

what i'm afraid is the MOTO couldn't handle the resolution due to lack of gpu.

the price i expect around 750~850 for both phones in Malaysia (lawyat).

thanks in advance. cheers.

Hey guys,

Thinking about a phone for my wife. She mainly uses facebook, surfs the web and plays Angry Birds. Oh, battery life is kind of important because she never remembers to charge her phone -.-

I have an Incredible S for awhile now which I'm happy with. Was considering getting one for her as well. Is the price around RM 1500 now at LowYat? Also what about other cheaper options like Optimus One P500? How much are these worth and would it do the above functions?

Open to any other sub-1500 priced phones with solid battery.

Cheers!

To choose a phone you must also take into consideration after sales support. All new electronic products usually have implementation problems (rom, firmware, etc). Some manufacturers are quick to respond, while some just drags their feet. The rom upgrade from Eclair 2.1 to Froyo 2.2 is an example.

Also, check out their web site - some sites only seems to welcome users who have bought and are using their hand phone otherwise you can seem to get support or check out faq and email their marketing for information.

Their web site should have full specs and even a simple writeup of that model - otherwise be careful of that model. Usually, a manufacturer will be very proud to display pictures and high-tech specs of their latest phone. And if that phone has been launched for more that 1week or 1 month and there is still not product info or its not listed as a product then you should ask questions.

For example I bought a galaxy 5 and until now that product still does not exists on the manufacturer's web site of android phones. They decided to list it as GTI-5503 now. But in their initial sales it was marketed as Galaxy 5. Maybe its been discontinued after a few months but no statement to that effect. The Galaxy 5 have hardware problems.

When phones have similar model names like "5" and "S" you got to be careful. Make sure you check out the specs carefully oterwise you can end up buying the wrong phone.

which mean samsung no good??

So a re-branded X6 is cheaper than X5?  This is interesting.  Now waiting for some guinea pigs pioneers to try it out.  Can easily replace X5 as best-bang-for-the-buck sub-1k Android phone.

You also have to bring in consideration what the buyer's budget.

around 650 - zte blade 

Guys just a quick choice. Which phone is better to grab? Prefer BIG font and wide screen.

1) Ideos X5
2) Mi-410
3) SE x10
4) Any phone that around that budget

err.. but mi410 kinda pricey @ rm999. topup rm100 can get galaxy SL ady. 

x5 same like galaxy ace rite, 800mhz? price also x5 RM850 while galaxy ace just RM795. hmm...

i dunno which one shuld i buy....sgs2 or atrix...i need powerful fon with gud build quality..sometimes i do my work on fon...my previous fon is e72...n how bout nexus s...

i'm not resolution junkie...haha...
juz searching a powerful smartfon coz i always do my work on fon rather than a laptop...
played with sensation...dun like it though...
u use defy rite....
is there any apps like quickoffice...
coz before this, defy was in my list...

1. Brand.

Any, prefer HTC as they have HTC sense

2. Budget.

Around RM1K

3. Specs. (Processor / RAM / OS Version / screen size)

Android latest version perhaps?

4. What you need in the phone (Sense UI ? Touch Witz ? Battery life? Form factor?)

1.Fine Speakers, like Sony Ericsson W-series. i dont like Nokia speakers that when u play songs loud, they seem cracking the quality of the song

2.Battery Life that can satisfy 1 day usage?

3.sensitive touch screen.I've tried my friend's Iphone & SE X10 before. seriously I feel Iphone screen sensitivity is better than SE X10, so i would prefer phone that have a sensitive screen like Iphone or better than it
btw, i have some questions about android
1. is it difficult for me to adapt the new screen keypad. because im using SE W5800 which it has own keypad, I''ve tried on my friend's Iphone and i realise that I've a problem with screen keypad because it's so tiny and hard to type.i always type the wrong word so i wonder would android be better? or should I just choose a android smartphone with a keypad?

2. does Android contains those apps like in Iphone? because I've been addicted to many games in Iphone such as Diner Dash,Hotel Dash etc.
and I heard that some Android apps you have to purchase to use it, is it true? which I wonder is there any jailbreak for Android ;p

thx
