Ermmm , guys thanks . But if you had a budget around 2k (quite flexible) and wanted a good phone for entertainment , really smooth and a good camera . Any suggestions ? And I will probably be rooting my phone and experimenting with it after I get it. Thanks smile.gif
And , what exactly does rooting your phone allows you to do? Is it somewhat like jailbreaking and iPhone?

I won't recommend the Sensation XE at all. Web browsing performance sucks.. not smooth at all. Heck, even a RM899 Galaxy W totally outperforms it, a lot smoother, pinch to zoom without lag. scrolling is as smooth as butter

Galaxy S II is a very good phone and easy to recommend. Generally very very smooth to handle. Websites with flash are not a problem with it thumbup.gif

Ermmm thanks for the suggestions. smile.gif
I dont mind waiting. I actually wanted the s 2 but the 9100g chipset which is slower for gaming slightly put me off. I actually kinda wanted the eynos processor . What chipset does the note use ? And do you guys think it will be slightly too bulky ? And any views of the Motorola razr? How's motorolas second hand value ?

Hi guys, my mum plan to upgrade phone... Since I know more about these phone stuff she let asked me to help her scout for good phone. Android fanboy here but no android at home so I also want help her find so I can play tongue.gif
1. Brand. LG/Samsung/HTC
2. Budget. Below 1k
3. Specs. Anything, I will consider the bet option.
4. What you need in the phone Nothing much actually, since my mum normally only call and sms.

Right now top of the list is Galaxy Ace, any other suggestion?

It's the hottest phone now! You can try ask around in the dedicated Galaxy W thread smile.gif

Anyway small review from me:

QUOTE
Managed to test out the Samsung Galaxy W at the Samsung Store in Gardens Mall today.

Build quality is good, feels solid in the hands. Nice texture of the back of the phone for grip. The overall look of the phone is nice, simple and elegant.

I'm also impressed with the display quality of the S-LCD. Colours look vibrant and sharp. Not as saturated and deep as the SAMOLED+ of the SGS II, but natural enough for my liking.

Responsiveness of the touch screen is also pretty good. Swiping across the homescreens with multiple widgets is a breeze. The 3D Swipe thing works decently as well. Not much noticeable lag in the General UI.. so far so good! thumbup.gif

Web browsing is the excellent part of this phone(for me). Scrolling and pinch to zoom on web pages like engadget or gsmarena or forum.lowyat.net was silky smooth. I'm amazed how the processor manages to excel in this department very very well. I'd dare to say that the web browsing experience is close to that of the Samsung Galaxy S II.

Depending on your needs.

The extra 400mhz is not significant. But the W is cheaper compared to the SGS though. And unlike the SGS, it has a camera LED flash.
