QWERTY coz i used BB and i loved it. But BB has this stupid internet system that i dislike.

If i dont want to look at QWERTY.

Is it realyl better to get Samsung?

hi guys....im really new to all this smartphone kinda thingy....after a year using sony ericsson satio(boring), i decide that i may wanna buy a smartphone.iphone n all that is out of the question because its quite expensive.im a gaming kinda person,so i dont fancy all those blackberry's...which is the best android phone in the market today? my budget is around RM1500-RM1700..they say the samsung galaxy s2 is the best but are there any android phone which is on par or better than a samsung?

yea either samsung galaxy w or nexus s will do
but need top up your budget

can try look for motorola razr and htc sensation xe

On par,
- HTC sensation/sensation XE (but i heard got many manufacturing defects)
- Motorola Razr
- Samsung galaxy nexus
- Samsung galaxy note

Slightly lower,
- Motorola Atrix
- LG optimus 2x(laggy on stock ROM but custom ROM ok)

What sets the Razr apart is the locked bootloader? Need to S-off the phone in order to root. Also they need time to program something for u to S-off your phone, so custom roms will only come later? Not sure can S-off with the XTC clip or not
Actually hard to say which 1 best bang for the buck, got pros and cons. Better go for which design u like and also whether u wanna root/play with custom roms or not. Also, u should have a look at the differences between galaxy S2 G version and non-G version in their official thread(1st pg)

1. Brand: preference for samsung, but others can also
2. Budget: rm800
3. Specs: android os, 3g, internal memory >1gb, memory card slot, 3.5mm audio jack, camera front and back, gps, wifi, bluetooth.
4. What you need in the phone: normal phone functions and gps highest priority

farizshj,

custom roms is like u errmm...install a custom rom of your choice according to your taste? Can do tweaks based on your taste, maybe can improve battery life also...overclock also can. Stock ROM usually can't customise too much, just homescreens...launchers...widgets all those. But there's a wee bit of chance that it might brick your phone if u made a mistake while flashing custom ROM. So if you're fine with the stock 1, there's no need to flash it. Anyway, i dun really know much about these stuff either...hopefully some sifus will help u in this. Perhaps ask this in android general questions thread?

Anyway, I think people say samsung is the best is just because it has now became a trend or something. I mean it's not exactly the best of the best. HTC's build quality is still better than samsung. It is a long story to tell actually, all phones got its ups & downs.

Here,

Samsung - Has somewhat became a trend now, wins in specs and smoothness. The smoothness is due to the user-interface(Touchwiz) because it is quite near to the stock vanilla UI. But build quality is not that good.

HTC - Got a very nicely done stock user-interface(HTC sense), thus slowing down the phone as it eats more RAM. Good build quality. Not so good camera.

Motorola - I don't really know much about this

I just explained it in a way that i don't take rooting/flashing custom roms into play, and I can't be too sure if all of the above are correct
