Hi! i ploughed through the whole thread but am still unsure of which phone to buy.
pls give your opinions 1. Any brand will do 2. Below 1.5k 3. Specs - if possible a not so bulky phone 4. What you need in the phone reasonably good camera good battery life good for web browsing customization light gaming also, probably something to track the phone if it's lost Thank you  This post has been edited by Sunshines: Apr 30 2011, 04:12 PM |

QUOTE(XeactorZ @ Apr 30 2011, 04:17 PM) htc desire s/incredible s,samsung galaxy S,LG optimus 2x Thanks for the suggestions!of coz is ap samsung galaxy S,htc desire s(try find ap set),SE xperia x10,acer liquid metal,motorola defy  QUOTE(xDarkKnightx @ Apr 30 2011, 04:18 PM) SE xperia x10. Good xenon flash + 8mp camera, web browsing can be improved by using Dolphin Browser HD, battery life is above average, 1ghz proc with Adreno 200, but to track your phone, i think you have to download an app to it. You can seach for security apps and if you download Lookout defender, you can make your phone release a shrieking noise at the maximum volume if you lose it in the house. Thanks for your reply! May i know any other features which x10 lacks? |

QUOTE(XeactorZ @ May 2 2011, 05:39 PM) x10 is better if i buy the phone now, i will have to upgrade it to 2.3 myself later on?better camera,better processor,larger screen furthermore can upgrade to android 2.3 soon ~ if i buy the phone later, will the phone come with 2.3 ?? QUOTE(xDarkKnightx @ May 2 2011, 06:10 PM) x10= Larger screen, better camera, higher clocked processor but weaker GPU. thanks ALM= Cheaper with 3 years warranty, better build quality, lower clocked processor but with better GPU, pixel density is higher.  the thing im worried when buying acer phone is the community support. i dont see many users and developers around. should it be an issue when it comes to choosing a phone?? another thing is the resale value of acer phones. will it be significantly lower than se phones??

QUOTE(piumiu @ May 2 2011, 06:28 PM) The 2.3 update from SE is very simple. Just plug in the cable and install the software then follow the instruction and your done. No need to worry. QUOTE(xDarkKnightx @ May 2 2011, 06:43 PM) Community support is also significantly lesser but there are still ROMS circling around. Resale value is still okay. thank you so much!! you guys are of great help!  |
