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 ?

note is using Exynos chipset

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?
*
the best specs you can get below 1k is galaxy w.

hey guise, just wondering is it worth paying RM1.7k for Sensation XE? or is there any other better phone around that budget?
*
if you can sell the beats then it's a win win situation or else get galaxy s2

QUOTE(BenSow @ Nov 10 2011, 07:13 PM)
Hmmm.. Then below rm1k what comes after Galaxy W?

Huawei Ideos X5

I thought of that, but I'm not really keen on selling stuff..the hassle is ughh. Other than Galaxy S2, is there others? I like S2's screen, speed and design, but the problem is that S2 is too common sad.gif prefer something more unique..oh yeah, hope to find a phone with superb developer support. What about Galaxy Nexus? roughly how much it will be?
*
expected price for Galaxy Nexus is less than RM2.2k. It's a dev phone so updates, custom roms will be available with haste biggrin.gif

Okay, that is way out of my budget sad.gif So I will stick to SGS2. Btw, the non-G version is available right?
so how does Sensation and SGS2 fare? from what I read from other websites, SGS2 have a slight edge over Sensation is terms of raw power...then what about the rest?
*
not sure about the non-g version, since that the new batch is g version. it's quite hard to find the non-g version. maybe you can try your luck to look around. SGS2 has more internal memory 16/32GB compared to Sensation which has only 1GB. overall, SGS2 has better hardware while Sensation has better build quality. if you can't find the non-g version then go for HTC Sensation wink.gif

Was looking for something less than 2k. Plus the galaxy note is too big for me. Is it a phone or a tablet?
*
it's in between laugh.gif
if you like to flash custom roms then go for galaxy nexus because it's a dev phone

I'm not that fond of taking a picture. I am thinking of trading in the Arc or Nexus S and then get a S2 or Arc S. Is it worth it to do so or should i just stick with the Arc?
*
trade with s2? yes, it's worth it. arc s? no.

1. Prefer HTC / Samsung / LG
2. Budget 1k
3. Full touch at least 3.2", durable
4. First android for my wife, she likes fb, so social integration is preferred. Medium camera with settings, easy charge port (no covers) and easyily available accessories..

The Nexus S is priced higher than the HTC Sensation, but it seems like hardware-wise the Sensation is the better phone. Am I missing out on anything special about the Nexus S?

Nexus S or Galaxy Nexus? Nexus S is below 1k.
