Is Desire S good for a mid-range phone?

When I search for mid-range phones, Galaxy W and Arc always appear but not this. The spec are pretty good to me. Why is it not that famous?

because the retail price of this phone is rm 1599

where the actual market price is only around rm1000-1200

cheers

Added on February 1, 2012, 11:21 pmhmm it happens last week but this week appears fine to me. very weird. but i'm not surprising that it will restart another time, cause even samsung gs2 or gw have this problem. symbian still rocks yo

try to restart the phone by yourself

or turn it off for 5 min then on it back

I saw directd sell for rm1000 only but its a brightstar set. I heard brightstar is also a ori HTC destributor, right?

ya. brightstar you should ask for 2 years waranty, service that SIS if got problem

What are the cons of Desire S? From reviews I watched, it looks good for a mid-range.

you can refer a few post above

+ restart/reboot problem ( very normal on every smartphone )
+ wifi is weak if you cover up your hands or thick object on the bottom top cover

bro, is it juz suddenly ok? for me is not quite ok as before is not so.
last tues i've went to brightstar service center at plaza berjaya, they said need to left it for 3 working days.
but of course need to backup everything.

that might be last resort for me other than own factory reset. BTW, appreciate if anyone can guide me how to backup my DS data, preferably inside PC.

Added on February 2, 2012, 5:13 pmfor me, its CPU. it should come with dual core. afraid that this phone will lag given that HTC come up with ICS update.
others is ok

Added on February 2, 2012, 5:15 pmtry not to do that one 1st...
can we fall back the software update? to previous version 2.3.3 per say.

the phone lag because it using cpu to render the htc sense instead of gpu rendering .

for downgrade the phone . you need to s-off it and root it then flash this flash that bla bla bla . alot of things to do .

if you willing to take the risk . root it and install custom rom . there is alot custom rom out there work alot better , alot faster and battery life alot better than stock

if you meant backup those organizers and message, i think temporary use a secondary android phone would be a good idea

backup data can use software

haiyo.. i just plan to buy this fon this saturday, and then suddenly too many bad comments here

From reviews on other mid-range phone and considering the price tag of RM1000, this phone has fewer disadvantage than others.

which one better? htc ds or samsung galaxy w?

for me i will go for htc ds for higher ram.

DS has better CPU:RAM ratio

hi all. Searched high and low for this phone in low yat and they said they no longer have the production unless u buy from maxis. So i opted for wildfire S instead

avoid wildfire s . the screen is very bad . my second choice for 3.7 inch screen phone if not desire s is htc ryhme. check that phone out . is quite nice too

low yat is full of conman inside. best avoid buying phone from there

1 guy quoted me rm1049 for galaxy w. that was insane

another 1 was discussing with his boss before he say no stock for galaxy w

last 2 weeks b4 CNY my friend went into lowyat to buy phone in the end kena con by extra rm200

Added on February 6, 2012, 2:11 amhtc ryhme is quite overprice and more suitable for lady. take sensation would be better if you dont mind its battery life.

further more, baterry you can use 3rd party. want safe buy branded 3rd party battery.
