for rm1k and below, u cant really get a good HTC phone, but other brands are ok too.
the most popular recommended phone here for below RM1k is the huawei x5, around RM900.

It has the same processor as the desire z, but is thinner and lighter without the keyboard.
the x5 has a big 1500mah battery also.

9001
but both still no LED flash

can state advantage of 9003 over 9000? just wanted to see the different ^^
thanks again

maybe battery life a bit better. (both still battery hunger btw)
coz of different SoC and GPU.
and newer model also.
SL priced around 1.2k plus.
S maybe abit more in shop

the i9000 is 1 year old model, should consider looking at the plus version, i9001, just a bit more expensive.

SL sucks badly compared to competitors at around the same price range though.

Salimbest you seem to brand most phones as battery hungry. Any reviews or so to support your accusation?
Most phones at that price range have batteries of at least 1400mah and no matter how bad it is, it wouldn't be drastic. DHD is an exception though. Really disliked it.

Added on August 10, 2011, 11:12 amSL has no real advantage over the SGS besides having a different screen(SCLCD) to the S-AMOLED.

Weaker GPU, weaker CPU, still no flash, and the build quality is still bad.

I would definitely go for phones like Huawei X5/CSL Mi-410 if I were to get the SL.

If you don't mind a CSL phone, go for the Mi-410. Definitely more powerful than the X5 but you might have to compromise other aspects in turn for it.

erm. mistaken for 9001. lol.
as for newer phone is batt hunger. will try do full 100% batt comparison when i got chance.
i think that maybe stock samsung rom that need some tweak to reduce batt usage.
i out office this week.

As for X5/mi410 suggestion.
both is great. but mi410 need use Thai set ROM (official ROM) even Official CSL 2.3.4 ROM also laggy (reported in mi410 users)
stock rom is laggy

i think i'll revise my budget to 1.5k ^^ spend more now and benefit it out in long run.

saw that digi has optimus black and sensation at around 1k (with data plan). looks tempting

For now sensation got a quite long problem list.
try see at XDA

Brand, servicing wise and also the assurance of future upgrades.

1.5k eh. I think you can get the Incredible S for around that price nowadays.

I'm a user too and very satisfied with its performance. The camera is also a contender to most high end phones now.

1.5k , imo get a dual core phone liao .

Lg o2x .

wow, from 1k to 1.5k is a big jump. you can get lots for that price range.

eg:
desire S ~1.3k
galaxy s plus ~1.4k
incredible s ~1.5k

I'm thinking of getting the Samsung Galaxy S 2, but I also like HTC...

Does HTC have an Android phone that can rival the SGS2?

HTC Sensation..some of it specs, exceed SGS2 specs..

Hey android sifus,

Please advice me which tablet to get with my budget?

1. Brand. : any
2. Budget. (RM 1.5k)
4. What you need in the phone ( Honeycomb)

thanks.

atrix also nice. around that price also
