its depend..

if using single/one core but high clock speed, that's enough for a smartphone...

but, if using dual core but lower clock speed than the single core with higher clock speed , that's not much different..

surfing website isnt a heavy usage..unless you streaming + flash website..

benefits of dual core is, you can run application that able to use both dual core simultaneously, yeah, you may not notice the benefit now, but later, if there are apps that can be optimized and used both dual core... you will get that benefit.

Games maybe will get some benefits.. but the GPU is more important in games..

Adreno205 in Xperia Arc S is good enough to play some HD games.. but maybe will have some issues when playing some GPU intensive games such as games that only optimized for Nvidia Tegra 2



anyway,.. using dual core might need extra and more power - your battery wont be long lasting enough [not even 1 day] unless you use high capacity battery..

Nokia C5-03
Sony Ericsson Xperia X8

you want physical qwerty keyboard ..?

Xperia Mini Pro - RM 740 ORI

you can go for it if u have money

or you can always try BB Curve 8520 and get the Samsung Galaxy Y[if u want try android]

or , Nokia E5 + Samsung Galaxy Y

no.. 'live' doesnt have Sony Mobile Bravia Engine

it is not related to picture that you captured.. it is just enhanced your display

please refer to -> http://wp.me/p1smWw-4A8

Nokia C5-03

in Nokia devices.. you can use GarminXT for mobile[Symbian is supported]


i dunno about that Samsung /Android devices.., maybe they can use the software too

there are also SE Xperia Mini

anyway.., i suggest go for

Nokia X2 - RM 295 AP / 300 ORI


Nokia C1-01 - RM 155 / 150 (ORI)

i still suggest iPhone 4S , get the data plan with it.. [suggest buy from Maxis or Digi]

galaxy note isn't the worst phone of the year..., for some reason it maybe have a bug/something that need to be fix or tweak

it is also big...


iPhone 4S kinda sexy and smaller...

Hi Vint, change your N85 already..?

hmm.. Note , quite nice and big [5.3 inches ]

Galaxy Note official thread -> http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2155335

actually, i'm not quite familiar with android devices, but i heard that Note has some issues [battery, s-pen , screen, hang/lag, led notification, speaker volume and many more] .. but I'm sure android user, especially Note's user has solve the issues by tweaking and update the OS/ROM ..

Samsung Galaxy S2 may be less problem and better choice than Note..

but if you prefer the bigger screen size , Note is the only phone that can fulfill your requirement ...

Celcom plan quite good too

go for Celcom plan if you have many people that you want to call using celcom[because it has many free calls for Celcom to Celcom]

Maxis plan has more free calls[to other network too] and free sms

Digi might be cheaper , has more free calls and sms and bigger data..

just choose any telco that you like and it is better if you choose the one that you familiar with..

Anyway...

So, i guess.. you need front cam
the HUAWEI U8510 IDEOS X3 @ RM 480 (ORI) might not suits you because it can't make 3G video calling , just through some apps..

maybe you just need to increase your budget and go for
Nokia C6 - RM 675 [AP]
Nokia 5800 - RM 690 [ORI]

I will just close this,
