wow luckily saw this thread...

now really headache ... SO MANY phone to choose...
in my mind now :
Galaxy tab ( review not so good but i like the feel)
Dell streak but just dual point touch ( cant play guitar app ) ,
saw in this thread some suggest se x10
infuse 4g ( but not exist in malaysia , if got ill get this phone for sure)
optimus 2x ( every one say : "banyak masalah..... "  )  sad.gif

any rumor regarding 5-7 inch upcoming phone. better than ARM Cortex A8 processor, 1 GHz processor; PowerVR SGX540 graphics( found in galaxy tab ) perhaps dual core? haiii.... rclxub.gif  

i want a phone more on watching movie, internet ,gaming
so i dont mind to get a big screen phone...
budget below 2K
thanks to all sifu here notworthy.gif
*
if the phone cant get wad u need, then drop it out from choice la..
x10 oso dual point touch only...

i suggest u get arc/sgs..
arc - 4.2" FWVGA backlit-LED screen , reality display [sony mobile bravia engine]...
official 2.3, use 1ghz snappydragon single core like DHD, Incredible S..
got HDMI port [the cable might(or not)included in accessories]
sgs- 4" WVGA Super AMOLED screen, upgradeable to 2.3, 1ghz hummingbird which got better graphic...but actually snappydragon oledi good enough

currently, dual core just somewhat overpowered, mostly single core is good & fast enough...so its not necessary to concern whether its a duo or not..

u better go some shop to try out the phones..if 4.2" still doesn't get u comfortable enough..u really nid to consider some tablets like ASUS Eee pad transformer, acer iconia, moto xoom, bb playbook, ipad 2 etc.

Guys, anyone can tell me what will be the problems with low resolution screen display phone (QVGA)? eg: Galaxy Mini.

I understand it limit the phone's choice of application, but what kind of application will be limited then?

It will affact the web browsing as well?

btw, what is Flash-enabled browser ? what is the difference with browser without flash?
*
let me tell you a story...
my fren got 1k budget, he can pick samsung galaxy ace [HVGA] / Acer liquid metal [WVGA]
i dunno why would he end up picking SGA, as i always told him that some apps/games will be limited due to low reso & WVGA can nearly runs 99% of them...
and ALM has better spec than it as well..
now he regretted, he cant play lots of game which he wanted to like HAWX, bla bla bla... even can play asphalt 5 but is somewhat laggy...

Flash contents such as your facebook games [Restaurant City, Country story etc.] & youtube videos[though u got a youtube apps to do this but other flash video is non youtube, then u hancur]...

Hey Android gurus Im actually cant decide between Samsung Galaxy S, Nexus S and HTC Incredible S. Which one is better? Im still new to android TBH.
*
Nexus S if u want to be in the front-line, get update for the 1st one...

SGS & Nexus S both are hummingbirdy with super AMOLED & S-OFF
hummingbird got better graphic, super amoled is superior than S-LCD

HTC IS is an all-rounder phone, its good to go without needed to tweak, perma-rooting etc., yea its a S-OFF device, u cant really permaroot it unless u decide to void the warranty by applying XTC Clip
S-LCD, Snappydragon single core, 8mp camera with dual flash+hd video

Thank you for the advice  notworthy.gif . However the only thing that is holding me from getting Nexus S and Galaxy S is their plastic case. From my perspective plastic is fingerprint magnets and it scratches easily. Another thing is Nexus S can only record non HD video am I right?  sweat.gif

theres always something call hard casing...
yea nexus S just err wvga video recording if i not wrong

thanks for the additional info. yes, the camera for X2 is  not as good as it seems for 8MP camera.

1 off topic question; why 5MP camera of iphone 4 can produce a great image compared to X2 8MP?
*
Because MEGAPIXELS not really matters when it comes to quality
MEGAPIXELS just the definition for the picture how big it going to be...
of course, the bigger picture has more details

but quality is comes from the camera lens optic...
iphone 4 uses OmniVision lens though & O2X is unknown lens, unless LG use back their previous cameraphone lens, the Schneider-Kreuznach optics...which is quite nice...
used in some old hot models like KM900 Arena, KU990 Viewty, GC900 Viewty Smart etc.

i used Samsung Galaxy SL before.
is it worth to update to LG optimus dual core?

what price for lg optimus?
*
around 1.8k ori

dual core is somewhat overpowered for currently, as single core like HTC IS, DHD.. SGS... is good & quick enough...
and somehow currently O2X got lots of issue, you probably heard at least 1 or 2 of those like the common yellow tint thing etc.

4. What you need in the phone (more to games, app,music. need gps function to go jog only)

help me sifooo

i think you shud consider HTC Desire S (ap) / SGS (ap)

if u get sgs, the stock software not good enough which is commonly heard for the lagging buggy/GPS issues
but the SGS got pretty good music chip & Hummingbird processor has better graphics comparing to single cores...

desire S is quite like the incredible S but with smaller screen & lower MP (weaker) camera?
you don't really nid to mod any part of the phone, it already good enough
HTC Sense for GPS is very nice, you dont really need to wait the map to load as you already got the map in ur phone & u got built in compass on the map icon_rolleyes.gif

well, of coz if u can get incredible S AP in this price, get it instead of desire S (unless personal preference la biggrin.gif)

anyway, you better go to try the phone urself & see whether you like it or not...

is it so much different btween those two?
i knw the speed is slightly different, is it worth to wait?

sgs plus runs on 1.4ghz snappydragon
but i still think hummingbird got better graphics for gaming...

u can simply overclock the clockspeed, fix the GPS problem if you followed the instruction, you definitely wont brick the phone

@adrian why? possible to drop like that ? I'm not a hand-phone seller >< if can drop like that ... maybe I would join to w8 for it to drop >< lol
*
drop over 400 in 2 months is too crazy
lets said SE Vivaz, it costs 700~ now, but when the time it shines, which is at least 1.1k
just because of the SE abandon Symbian & stop giving future update, its all gone, u can significantly c its price drop slowly, in two months, it gone to like below 800~900..

b4 Symbian ^3, vivaz is probably the top phone for symbians

SE W8? when it release, i think the price will as low like galaxy mini those low ends...
despite its Walkman features, the OS is so outdated ohmy.gif

1. Brand - SGS2 , HTC Sensation, SEX Arc
2. Budget - <RM2k (going to sign package from maxis)
3. What you need in the phone - My main concern now is the camera quality of these 3 phones, which 1 of them produces nice pictures?

And what do I think about these 3 phones.
SGS2 - dont really like the touch wiz ui, contrast of screen seems too high

Sensation - sense 3.0 is cool, but some review said that the screen on sensation is less sharp than the one on htc IS

Arc - impressive design, not sure whether the price of this phone is worth it, considering that its RRP is just abit less than sgs2 and sensation's rrp.
*
camera?
no doubt is the SE XPERIA Arc

if u really want the best of best in cameraphone, you might want to check out the Nokia N8 thumbup.gif , its not android though blush.gif

now still get desire? for its price u can get a better, Incredible S/Desire S AP would do ... its good to use out of the box, no need tweak those can very good le

although optimus 2x is dual core, it has lots of issue around, still...

SGS need some customizing as its pretty well known for its GPS/ laggy issues...

i got some confusing on Desire, cause lot of model. Btw, my friend highly recommend me Lg Optimus 2x but i just worry lot of bug since it was the first dual core phone in market and i not really got confidence for LG brands. SGS i got lot of friend using, so far so good and i never use GPS cause i got the GPS device. But SGS isn't still worth to get since SGS2 is coming out. And the market price for SGS2 was Rm2099 compare with Lg Optimus 2x which was Rm1590, it shown the SGS2 price was quite expensive. Btw, Sensation was RM2199.
*
u no state out budget so i tot ur budget range is around/below O2X [1.8k]

buying electronic devices like phone just like buying luck..
some ppl never face issue, some ppl face issue till sien liao~

This is HTC Desire
HTC Incredible S vs HTC Desire S
Desire is obviously the 1st generation, Desire S is the upgrade of it [one of the current model]
but I would recommend IS instead of DS

Hey guys, for HTC IS and SEX ARC. Which is better? Overall performances and such. and also the camera picture quality ... have a hard time choosing over these 2

doh.gif for the highlighted word

both phone are good out of the box, no big problem/issue needed to tweak/custom to fix unlike the SGS...

both are pretty good all rounder phone..
HTC IS got HTC Sense UI which is most favorable by most ppl currently, good build quality, decent display/camera
cons is got locked bootloader but the new wave of them will be unlocked after HTC see how the bootloader affected their sales

the new XPERIAs are like facebook phone, the UI is pretty much integrated with facebook..
nice slim design, best camera in android & low light display, among the best display (reality display)
totally unlocked bootloader
