ori is about 1.4k~1.5k, AP defy can get below 1.2k

shud consider Samsung Galaxy SL
ori dropped to around 1.2k
better than galaxy ace[just camera no flash sweat.gif ]

SE x10 ? whatcha guys think ?
when is it rumoured that the 2.3 gingerbread comes out for x10 ?


Added on April 16, 2011, 5:26 pmand does it lag ?

not rumor is OFFICIAL PROMISE
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xper...r-news-2450.php
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/201...a%E2%84%A2-x10/
in 2.1, some ppl says lag

but 2.3 will hopefully be a big change as it removes the mediascape & replaced by the newest Sony Ericsson Android media widgets
mayb will bring flash support as well as x10 meets the hardware requirement to has full flash support[correct me if im wrong that it meet the hardware req.]

galaxy S and SL different only the screen? not body recommend me galaxy SL, coz everybody keep saying superAMOLED is far better. let me read abit about SL version first.
*
go see comparison between SuperClear LCD vs IPS LCD vs Super AMOLED
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9003_gala...eview-562p2.php

super amoled abit blueish in colour but better sunlight legibility & lower battery consume
but i like SC-LCD's colour rendering over Super AMOLED
& i would prefer ori over AP

btw, SGSL runs on a weaker GPU, smaller internal memory[4GB version], smaller ram & heavier than SGS

to the most of you
i will choose arc over SGS/HTC IS

1. becoz camera is quite a priority to me tongue.gif

2. arc got bootloader unlocked soon & now HTC turns to be like SE last time, IS got its bootloader locked
well, at least sgs oso got unlocked bootloader

3. arc design is so nice drool.gif

4. i like the reality display over super amoled
of course, SLCD is a big no

How about Nexus S. current AP price for the phone is no much different than the IS and SGS. even DesireS AP set is around that price... the only concern for me is the availability to root the phone to custom room and future upgrade for adroid 2.4 later haha.

torn between many phone. too much choice. no wonder people go for iphone.haha
*
i would prefer nexus S > sgs/is

GOOGLE nexus S
so definitely big community out there, 1st receive new version update oso him [the 1st phone to get 2.3]

but if u include arc, then i take arc tongue.gif
camera is a important factor to me,
got bootloader unlocked so i oso can do custom thingy

and...
HTC IS's bootloader locked..
i dun really like SGS tongue.gif

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9003_gala...eview-562p2.php
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 biggrin.gif

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

How is it compared to Xperia X8 and HTC Wildfire?
*
X8 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? blush.gif

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!  shakehead.gif
I saw Sony Ericsson X10 Mini on YouTube and the operation are quite smooth.  smile.gif

Thank you all in advance~  notworthy.gif
*
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]
