Can anyone recommend me a good android mid range phone? Previously i wanted to get the Samsung Galaxy Ace but after i read about all the SOD's lynn users are having i am having doubts.
What are phones that are currently in the market which has a price range of maybe rm900-rm1000 that is stable and reliable?
Are HTC phones good?I am not an android phone user btw.

What are your needs? Like camera, aesthetics, screen size, screen resolution and those of the sort. Tell us what you need.

Basically i want a stable phone with a good price range.SGA is just right at first but after almost everyone has SOD problems i don't this it would be suitable.As for screen size does not matter much.A good camera is a plus and also good resolution.With my budget i know i can't have it all.I was wondering is the Acer liquid metal worth to get?So far that phone is within my budget and also can compare to SGA and might be better since it supports flash and none of the SOD.But i never see anyone use an ACER phone before so i was wondering how reliable is it.I just want a realiable phone that does not lags, hangs just basically dun give me headaches in the run long.

Guys i really need your help in recommending a phone for me urgently.
I was planning to get the Acer Liquid metal and i was told by the phone supplier it would arrive this wednesday but he bailed in the end.I haven search around the shops but it was come to a conclusion that not many shops carry this phone.
So right now i am planning to get samsung galaxy sl which would increase my budget of course because there are no other phones which i believe that are in the market is similiar to the liquid metal.I wanted to get samsung ace at the beginning but with the SOD problems and the specs are lower than the acer i change my mind.

So right now if i were not be able to get the liquid metal in local shops by tommorow i will probably go for the SL.The only thing about the SL is that it has no FLASH! oh dilemma dilemma.What other phones that has at least a decent camera with flash,stable and between 1k-1.3k budget?

You can opt for the Huawei x5 at rm850 from garage sales. same specs as the ALM. you can try looking for the ALM in SenQ. They retail it

.... don buy Sl.. i'm alittle regret now.. first and most of all.. the heat up issue.. IT HEAT UP REALLY TOO FAST AND TOO HOT!!
2nd.. battery could last a day.. with moderate useage.. (i think this is standard for all smartphone so i don't complaint much about the battery even though i hear some other could last 2-3 days  shocking.gif ==" with 3-5hr gaming, 2-3hr webing, 4-5hr music.. i think it's totally impossible..  shakehead.gif [liars]  doh.gif )

finger-magnet surface all over. [going to buy new casing soon =D ]

ram is a abit littler but still can bear with it =)

overall good big 4' screen, audio with louadspeaker good (could be louder and would be great) , with earphone great!
good UI interface than AML
great camera + HD video record

i would choose AML because of
better ram
better GPU
got notification light on the top
camera flash (but camera sucks.. = pointless)

but its round botton shape is really bad as i hear some people said it's not good at putting on table as it keep rocking left n right(uncomfortable) but it shouldn't be a problem , just hold it on your palm rather than on the table when using it.
