How bout Ideos X5 instead of Ace

better than Ace

can somebody suggest phone that can be used for:

1) tethering/wifi hotspot to notebook/ipad?
2) email without any mail missing (i'm hvg Ipad for mailing purposes but getting frustrated with its problem of 'missing email'. check inbox using notebook incoming mail is let say - 50. check thru Ipad only 30 is shown.remaining 20 gone unnoticed.
3) budget is around 2k.

thank you!

1 and 2 can be done by most if not all phones above 2.2

If you're using Gmail then the Gmail app would serve you well. Provided the mail is received when you're on an active internet connection, it can still be viewed even if you don't have one.

You can probably go for any high end phones as of now. Galaxy Note would be preferable if you don't mind the size and/or prefer it to be big.

SGS2 is not recommended unless you can find the non-g version.

hey guys, im looking for a budget android, as temporary.
Pricing under 500,
Looking between huawei ideos x3, lg optimus one, htc wildfire, csl spice mi320, zte blade(dont see in MY), huawei sonic(kinda off budget) or anything else?
thanks in adv!

Xperia X8?? Galaxy Y??

thinking of buying a very good andriod phone. But dunno should wait or not D= waiting for galaxy s3 but i'm going to study soon , dunno should buy one now or not

Hi all,

1. Prefered Brand: HTC/Samsung
2. Budget: 1.5k-2k
3. Specs:
Ram: 1gig
Proc: dual core
Camera's MP: 5~8mp with 720p or 1080p capability
Screen size: ~4"
4. What I need in the phone
- reliability(hence the least faults out of the box)
- good battery life.
- good warranty/after sales services.
- knowing that the brand's will gonna upgrade to latest android OS as soon as possible.
- sound quality isn't an issue but preferably comes with a good pair of earphones/handsfree.

Personal Note:
I'm currently geared towards galaxy nexus but was fond of HTC sensation XE. the only think stopping me right now is that the XE wasn't that promising in terms of battery life and i know that the Beats software is just a gimmick. whether samsung malaysia is gonna bring in Gnex is anybody's guess but from what happened to nexus S on maxis, it'll cost a bomb. As for samsung GSII, there's alot of debate which implies to not being reliable(screen problem was overheard from a friend). then there's a debate on g versions and non-g versions. I guessed i haven't really see a phone that i really want from the android lineup right now but would like feedbacks and suggestions as to what sort of phones i can get now. Maybe in Jan/Feb, there will be more announcements like the 4 core htc. I'm not too keen on that as its gonna drain battery like there's no tomorrow. what do you guys think?

As a temporary phone? Go for CSL MI-310. Only RM299.

refer to the front page on how to ask for a recommendation.

What are your usages and/or requirements?

I recommend you wait for the Q1 MWC announcement for phones since you have such a high budget. The phones then might be more suited for your requirements.

After sales service wise, I can't really comment on this because as of now I still have not sent my phone for samsung's warranty. I did send my friend's Incredible S for warranty and they're really punctual.

If SQ is a major issue for you, you should invest in a pair of audiophile earphones.
Also, the screen issue on the i9100 is more geared towards the G version. According to my brother, he receives roughly 2-3 sets every week due to screen fade/overheating issues. Not sure if they have fixed it yet though.

GNex will definitely come to Malaysia but the only debate is when. AP sets have been pouring in lately so you could probably opt for that if you can't wait for the official release. But as of now, I recommend you wait for at least another month before deciding on getting a phone.

hahha...thx darkknight...was anticipating that answer...but by saying waiting for the next lineups..its actually waiting for roughly 2-3months coz when products are announced, usually have to wait awhile before it is officially release to the public...plus how long south east asia will get the phones...hahaha..but anyways...i'll wait then..

thanks xDarkKnightx!

for point 1, need to install anything or its pre-installed inside phone? can you suggest best phone which is abt palm since (standard size not like tab) since i'm not into gadget much thus dunno which phone is good/not..

from a htc user... i would recommend Samsung.. HTC sense is nice... but it make your phone slow... same hardware... sense = slow... others= fast.. htc got many fancy fancy function... but you will almost for about it after 2 weeks of playing... those is gimmick..

what most important is speed of your ROM, where sense= resources hogging, battery draining...

beside inside, the outlook, screen size weight , battery life need to be consider also... htc slcd screen perform very bad under the sunlight = almost cannot see...

also, if when you decide to root your phone... any software inside is does not matter, you need the most flagship phone where developer concentrate on it... hardware wise is most important...

anyway, htc phone= 2 years warranty, and quite durable also... 2-3 times drop (about 1 meter), still going strong, where if is iPhone = GG

Those want to buy phone now, should we wait for MWC 2012? Planning for Moto Droid RAZR... Thinking of waiting till then see got any better phone anot, if not then get RAZR which should have lower price then...

So, if hardware is most important, then don't have to worry about Sense... can just flash Sense-less ROMs HTC phones are the most supported in CyanogenMod and MIUI.

No problem Just here to help.

As for your question, I'm not too sure of that. Maybe someone else can clarify it for you.

Palm sized would probably be smaller than 4.3" and since you're so geared towards a HTC, I suggest you wait for the MWC as current offerings just don't seem decent for their price.

The Sensation is not a bad phone though but I heard there are some touchscreen issues. It's only 1.2k now though .

Also, about your statement towards the battery drain of a 4 core phone, I can assure you it won't be a big deal.

Most apps now aren't even capable of running on two threads what more four? And those cores which are not used will automatically power themselves down. As far as you are concerned though, it should consume more or less the same power.

wait for next year MWC so all phone brand will announce new phone
or wait 1month for the galaxy nexus(recommend) or you can go for ap set now
cheapest is rm2.1k(from garage sales or other website)
if can't wait then go either galaxy note / s2 or htc sensation xe

Why not put a bet on RAZR? Being different is awesome

coz that forumer didn't state he want motorola phone @@

seems March is still far away.. is it worth it to wait?

1. Preferred brand: samsung/sony ericsson
2. Budget: around rm1k
3. Specs: processor - at least 1ghz
ram - at least 512mb
4. What I need in the phone:
good durability, no lag, good battery life


So far these are in my list: se mini pro, se neo v, samsung galaxy w and sgs plus

I'm not really sure about the price range of these devices.. I hope my budget can get me a decent one as i have not changed my phone for many years and this will be my very first smartphone. Feel free to recommend me any other brands that you think it's good. Thanks
