hey guys.

this will be the first android phone for me..so impress me!hehe

1. Brand. (HTC/Samsung/LG/Motorola/Others)
2. Budget. MYR1500-2500 ?
3. Specs. I dont know much,been using BB for more than 5 years.
4. What you need in the phone -Browsing,email,mp3,camera,some games will do,skype(video),support flash,support pdf Microsoft words ?reliable,fancy design ?

thanks!

go to samsung elit partner booth (google it) try hands demo on galaxy note or galaxy s2...
if you like keep browsing, email and pdf better take galaxy note...
but you are first time android user, so before make decision, read galaxy note thread or ask uncle benny888...

Thanks.
Galaxy W has an inferior screen compared to Galaxy S1 but the trade off is that W has a faster processor.

Usually with 2nd hand smart phones, what are the things that we can check software-wise?
Or can they restore it to factory settings like re installing Windows?

Thanks

Is it?
I checked on Mudah and on a price list from a seller on garage sales .
Both of them have the Nexus > RM1k while the Galaxy W is RM950.
The 2nd hand Nexus', Galaxy S1's and HTC Desires are max. RM850.
*
if you check carefully or use lyn search button for nexus s, you can see what i mean before, rm650... smile.gif

Budget : < 1 k
Must be reliable...easy to use
Camera must be good, i listen to songs
I'm not tech savvy, so those custom ROM, rooting....way beyond my capability
I play games once in a blue moon.

Thanks all...urgent pls.

as far i know yes, but you must search stock very fast, or search at garage sale, better buy from who have stock than deal pre order..

Hi guys! I need some help on choosing a new phone.  tongue.gif Using a SE x8 now, and I'm bored with it... sad.gif

My budget is around RM1k. Might be topping up a bit more for a better phone if available.

I need a phone that does not lag and hang. (or at least frequently)

I basically need it for multimedia usage such as watching HD videos, listening to music, and surfing the web.

Oh, and I definitely need a lot of space for downloading apps, which I cannot do on my x8. sad.gif

That's all really. Hope I could get some recommendations!

Thanks!
