If you ask me, i'd say HTC incredible S but if looking for best value, HTC desire S. Based on reviews i read, that is.

hi im new to smartphone but considering android.

1. SE/HTC. (currently eyeing arc and incredible S)
2. would like to have recommendations for phones around 1.5k. i'll go for higher price if its more worth it.
3. IDK about ram or proc. but i want good camera, and big screen.
4. im buying this phone and gonna use it for years ahead. so it has to be durable. and i dont have time to go online with laptop, so this phone usage will be maximized, hence i need almost everything in it.

read about defy but dont like the cam MP and its thickness. anyways, is defy+ around yet?

err isit too much to ask? biggrin.gif

For Android phones below 1k, the only decent ones are the CSL MI-410 or the Huawei X5.

If you're a fan of small factor phones though, the SE Xperia Mini should work fine.

If you don't plan to change your phone in the near future, I suggest you go for the SGS2. 8mp camera, thinnest phone and a large S-AMOLED+ screen.

for ur info.
as for GPS fast lock.
i can say all phone can do that.
u just need to root it (gain access to gps.conf file)
then edit the server pool to malaysia pool.
then gps lock is very2 fast already ( less than a minute)

proven on Moto Defy, Huawei X5, CSL Mi300

I bought my Samsung S Plus last week instead of Incredible S that the sifus recommended coz of video call. Coz it seems that Incredible S doesnt have video call function unless Skype or something similar is installed into it. Whereas Samsung can go without those. So far there is nothing wrong with the phone. The cam is decent for a 5mp phone. However, it does not have flash. I've tested it out by taking pictures of food inside a cafe its decent as well. As for GPS, the seller helped me installed PAPAGO into it. So far so good however it tends to take quite a long time to detect GPS signal (my phone is not rooted coz its still under warranty tongue.gif ). I have to stand near a window for like 5minutes or so until i can fully utilize PAPAGO. The touch screen sensitivity is great (i played TapSonic) and the SAMOLED screen is great too rclxms.gif . I bought the S Plus for RM1250 original at LowYat and Incredible S cost RM16xx original. And if you are the ones that love to trade in old phones and buy new phones, HTC doesnt have much resell value compare to Samsung (thats what all the seller told me).

I think if you try to lock the gps from standing near the window sure got lag one. My desk is next to the window in my office and just now i test the desire's gps. It took 6 minutes plus to get it lock to the satelite for my papago.

What about trying it in open space or put it on your car dashboard and drive in open space (without tall buildings around). On a cold start, my desire will take 1-3 minutes, depending on the surrounding area where i drive. If its a non cold start, it can lock very fast, sometimes as fast as my garmin nuvi

Its a SCLCD. Not an S-AMOLED.

HTC's resale value is quite high in GS though. Used Nexus One's still go for around 8xx these days.

I beg to differ. THe S-AMOLED+ screen is absolutely stunning when used on full brightness. Coupled with the true blacks, my older HTC Incredible S looked incredibly dull.

But, of course, if you can get over the frequent over-saturation of colour.

Battery life wise, I don't have to worry since its currently tethered to my desktop so its basically charging 24/7 now laugh.gif

Not everyone thinks the look in the screen is important. whether it's retina display or AMOLED i don't give a damn. so it really differs from one user to another.
