Hi guys, I just sold my HTC Aria for RM600. not sure it's that worth it.
But now I'm looking for a new phone.

1. Brand. Anything surprise me
2. Budget. below 1k
3. Specs. Above 1Ghz
4. ETC :
I'm considering for the Xiaomi phone. Not sure about how long can I w8 for it. Another is CSL i410. Is the any other phone that suit my spec?
Would it be wiser to just w8 for Xiaomi phone?

Nexus S vs Desire HD, which is better?  2nd hand both around same price.  Usage: web browsing, streaming audio, watching video, reading ebooks, GPS, Viber, must root (flashing ROM, maybe not), taking pics & videos... you know, the usual stuff.

Kinda scared of Samsung becos of the problematic phones (GPS problems in S/SL/S Plus, SOD in Ace, etc).  I'm curious, why is Nexus S not popular (at least in LYN)?
no gps issue on my nexus , lock fast .
nexus lack of storage expand , it is not popular in lyn because it come out late , and ppl already got their SGS , no point getting this while they can simply flash gingerbread firmware on it .

DHD is great too , with 4.3 big display .

sense vs vanilla gingerbread , you pick . i dont fancy sense , prefer minimalist , this is quite subjective . some ppl like sense , some dont .

bear in mind poor battery life on dhd but u can always get high perfomance battery. however battery life on nexus is great thanks to it 1500mah battery.
Dont forget ICS is coming to town ,i believe nexus will get it update ( the main goal i get this phone too , fast os update)
that all i can say . biggrin.gif

Nexus S over Galaxy S
-It's a nexus device which will receive updates the fastest [the main draw of it imo]
-Stock android that's fast and fluid
-It has a LED flash
-It has no GPS problems

Galaxy S over Nexus S
-Arguably better looking design
-Has a microSD slot

ICS is coming , probably nexus s will get it too .

SAmoled is deemed to be better in term of color saturation and contrast.

Gorilla glass is glass made by Corning Co. which is claimed to be scratch resistant and more durable/hard than normal glass.

Back on topic, can anyone here suggest me whether I should get Desire HD or LG Optimus Black(if I was to suscribe plan from Digi especially). Personally, i prefer the exterior of Black.

How much is LG Black inferior to Desire HD in term of performance? hmm.gif

Or anyone here can suggest me a better option, not necessary from Digi(plan+phone). Also, how much are the AP/ORI of them cost?
*
i would say desire hd or incredible s if you are looking at digi plan .

AFAIK optimus black still running on froyo , desire hd and incredible s is running on gingerbread

Hey guys, i have an enquiry. I am planning to get an android phone and i am a total newbie in adroid. But my main reason of getting it is for portable reading, games(a lot) and surfing. I can say i'm quite a heavy user and i dont like laggyness much. So what phone can fit in below RM1k?

Another thing, can phone below RM1k support MIUI with no lag whatsoever? I'm grateful for all the help =)

Summary,
1. No brand discrimination but HTC seems viable
2. Budget <RM1k
3. Specs not so important but should be able to run games and if possible MIUI with no problem
*
huawei x5 has the miui port .

I also curious to know, but I am actually deciding between DHD vs Optimus 2x, both about same price 2nd-hand.  I know DHD generally more stable, but 2x is dual-core hmm.gif

considering to get a droid under DiGi,

Optimus black vs Desire HD, which one is better? as both priced about the same. any major issues on any of these phone?

I basically need a phone
with smooth user experience, nice screen quality and good built quality as well.
Camera is not that important for me, just average will do.
good GPS is needed as I will use it as my main navigation system.
*
about the Optimus black . ( my gf got it from digi plan too )

the screen quality on the optimus black is great ,since it is using the ips nova panel .

built quality i can say is great , however i dunno whether it can beat the htc dhd or not .

not too big and not too small , 4inch with the slimmest design.

froyo 2.2 on it is running smoothly too , lg is promising gingerbread update for it ( Lg update very slow ),
battery is bigger than the htc dhd , 1230mah vs 1500mah iinm .

basically it is an average phone for me . smile.gif



haven test out the gps , cannot tell you .

1. Brand. - Any
2. Budget. < RM1000
3. Specs. - Better or equivalent to my Huawei Ideos X5
4. What you need in the phone - Easy to root, install custom ROM etc (rules out the Xperia Neo, HTC Desire Z), nice big screen (rules out the Wildfire S, Galaxy Ace, SE WT19i), fast processor (rules out Motorala XT720, Wildfire), responsive screen (rules out CSL Mi410)

RAM, storage etc are pretty much the same across most phones. So i guess its not very important.

Please dont recommend LG Optimus One, CSL Mi300, Samsung Galaxy 5 etc, as those are budget androids. Looking for something midrange and above.
