Hi, I am looking at htc sensation or sensation xe, can tell me d diff and is it more worth it to get the xe?

Also, I'm heading singapore next week, cheaper to get here or singapore?
*
XE got the beats stuff with some red colours on the phone. It also has a faster processor than the main sensation. I think that's all if im not mistaken

Bout the price im not sure where cheaper

looking for ori... now left with 2 choices. between SGS2 G (I9100G) vs Motorola RAZR.. which one is better?

note: SGS2 non-G only got AP.. only consider ori at the moment.
TQ

If you are VERY sure you won't play with custom roms, then either 1 will do. But if you are gonna play with custom roms, then get RAZR smile.gif

hey! Im looking for an android by SE or Samsung. Im 17 tho.(dont need a super2 smart one)
Looking between 700 to 1k.
Was interested in mini pro, but then saw it was kinda small compared to others, loved the specs tho. any comments on the mini pro?
Would prefer xperia neo or pro but still can't choose  rclxub.gif , not going for arc;arc s kinda huge and sharp (LOL)
Wasn't so sure about other android by se but play sure looks compelling.(loads of free ps games tho) Advice?!?!
and live with walkman also looks cool but dont like will get update for ics.
Btw wasn't so knowing about samsung had bad experience with it in the pass.
but too many stuffs from samsung cant even survey. Any suggestions?
Looking for >3inch lesser than 4.2 if possible a physical keyboard:captivate glide,epic4g(don't look like cmin msia soon)
PS; any reason not to go for qwerty. thx
and then an avg 1ghz processor dual core under 1k sounds funny,for me.
Also a cool camera. Neo and pro(<3 physical qwerty) has exmor r cam which i heard is great, not so sure tho.
the mini pro also bags a 5.0mp not that bad. PS. looking for manageable front cam, xperia play's looks good in med light but so damn bad in low l.

Htc sure looks great but the UI scares me.  cry.gif  xe sure looks awesome.
And lastly why would you buy an ap? and why go with ori? I seriously can't get these two. I know that the ap is abit cheaper but since the warranty is almost the same i dont get it.
PS: if i have a ori waranty and the i root it, then flash it back, will the warranty still valid?

SURE HOPE YOU WILL PUT ME OUT OF MISERY!(pc fair's this week maybe can get something there)
THANKS IN ADV! rclxms.gif
*
-I think you will get used to the on screen keyboard, but surely physical qwerty is still better(less typo error perhaps?)

-SE live with walkman will get ICS update if im not mistaken.

-AP(pay less now, future worry more). ORI(pay more now, future worry less). The difference between ORI and AP is just the warranty, usually the quality of how the ORI(SME, brightstar, thorus...) company repairs the phone is better and faster than AP company? Some cases i read, it took the AP company few months to fix the phone and when it came back the phone was full of scratches. Initially they said 1 or 2 weeks will get back but end up few months wink.gif Also, the AP company can go bankrupt any time..so if u wanna buy AP better look at those well-known AP company. For more info, u can look at the "Ori, AP & water set" pinned thread in the Mobile Phones & PDA's section

-I think SE xperia pro will suit u the best. Got 8mp camera, physical qwerty keyboard... rclxms.gif but not sure if got large community support on custom roms or not, u better check 1st. Not sure if u unroot/flash back they will still be able to detect or not

I'm planning on buying a new phone. Interested in QWERTY but my mind can change.

I got eyes on SE Xperia Mini Pro and SE Live with Walkman.

Xperia got qwerty but not Live.
Live got better battery duration.
I prefer something compact.

Budget is around RM500-700.
Many thanks. If got other related Android phones, do share with me. Needed some info a.s.a.p.

Both your choices are alright

If you want to pick a SE phone, then i suggest taking the xperia neo / neo v / play / ray / pro / X10 those are the newest phones with reasonable price and they are over 1GHz but SE doesn't have any phones with dual core yet. they're all android 2.3 and they all have front camera and a 512mb ram so they're fast and you can open a lot of apps without lag

xperia X10 : 8mp
Xperia neo : 8mp
xperia ray  : 8mp
xperia pro  : 8mp
xperia neo v : 5mp
xperia play : 5mp


Added on December 2, 2011, 12:58 amwhich one is better, the xperia neo v or the xperia ray?
*
x10 only got 384mb RAM btw icon_rolleyes.gif

I am torn between this four ;

HTC Sensation XL
HTC Sensation XE
Samsung Galaxy S II
Samsung Galaxy Note

I used my phone mainly to check emails, buy movie tickets, GPS.
I need something which have a very fast speed since I am an impatient user.
*
Pls avoid sensation XL, overpriced & SINGLE-core
Best choice would be galaxy s2/sensation XE thumbup.gif but watch out for the galaxy s2 I9100G, this 1 not many custom roms

If I don't want to customise anything guess no need for custom roms right?
Thanks for your opinion. i also feel the same way.  biggrin.gif

If u just customize your homescreens...put widgets on it...download new launchers...all these, then no need custom rom. All these can download from android market

lg?...is it smooth..reccently I test the phone at store..so laggy..wait..that is black...how much jek?" brows.gif

Optimus 2x on stock ROM also ppl say quite laggy, but using other launchers can lessen the lag i think. But if u wanna install custom roms then should be good biggrin.gif
Best if u check out as many pages possible in their official thread.
The price should be ori, 1.4/1.5k..AP 1.2k+. Else can check out motorola atrix

btw, what is the price for 1year old original set SGS1 for him to sell?

RM1.5k for note is cheap! Only if no contract/package la. But note in my opinion is too big for a phone yet too small for a tablet, so think and test 1st before buying smile.gif
