ok, cha cha out of budget, xperia x10 no flash. both out.

Hm...this afternoon I saw  one of them mooning over Xperia Mini pro 2 (a.k.a. the one without the X10 but look like it). Do you think I could find a cheap 2nd hand one below Rm500, or is it too slim of a chance?

as for galaxy y, the reason I bring it out because Samsung seems to have good customer rep.  As for Huawei, under consideration. SO far I used their broadband modem USB and it's nice to use.
Hm...too bad CSL Mi300 isn't equip with Flash support, PC driver or accessories....they seem to offer mainly affordable priced phones.

Xperia mini pro below RM500, AP set maybe possible la hmm.gif
Or if not SE live with walkman AP set, brand new @ around 600....2nd hand would easily be around 500.
But only if u dun mind AP set

Anyway, if u are ok with both galaxy mini and Y...then it's an ok choice I guess

budget: 1k
type: android

should I get SGW? or maybe there's other new phone worth for me to wait for?

Google nexus S overall better than SGW. Another option is to wait for the MCW and MWC event to see what phones are coming soon

need android phone recommendation for my friend and brother

1st recommendation for my friend

he dunno what to choose, either nexus s, galaxy w or xperia arc s ??
reason to choose nexus s : already has android 4.0 with 16gb internal storage and affordable price

galaxy w : affordable price too

arc s : best camera in android phone and support hdmi

my friend worry about either get 1 of them, will they can get android 5.0 update ???

2nd recommendation for my brother

he can't decide either get sgs2(g or non g unit) is okay for him and galaxy nexus
i ask my brother go for galaxy nexus, but he say price sure expensive than sgs2 since this month release ori set in Malaysia and spec almost same with sgs2
his budget around rm1.5k, if get galaxy nexus, then wait for it to drop price

need some help here, thanks smile.gif

For your friend, I would suggest him to take nexus S. Highest chance among the 3 to get android 5.0 or so.

For your bro, ask him wait for the MCW and MWC event

Hey guys, I need to buy a phone budjet around 1500

currently im having the samsung galaxy s2 and want to change because of the battery life and the music

think want to change to a bigger screen or same size.

I wont consider the galaxy note because the size is way too big

I dont want to play any games at all. maybe free light games from the market. mainly for multimedia ( take pictures, play music and watch videos [ make sure no lag when watching video because I watch alot of them ] and browsing the internet )

thinking the considering the sensation XL but it's a 1.5ghz single core processor.

btw, I also dont like the amoled screen because its way too bright when im in a dark room. Usually i text and watch videos before bed.

thanks ! notworthy.gif

HTC sensation XE, but I'm not sure bout its battery life

No news on it yet but even if got I think it will stop until ICS. Nexus S prob can reach until jelly bean and so on after that

okay..last question...I've come down to three phones...SE Xperia Mini Pro, Samsung Galaxy Mini, LG Optimus One....

For specs, SE Xperia Mini pro wins, except for the lower battery capacity.

I read great reviews of LG Optimus One as an entry-level Android, and it seems many Android users are currently using it, thus mmaybe more help in troubleshooting.

Samsung Galaxy Mini...well, Samsung itself have great reputation, and I also saw many girls use it, and are quite happy with it.

I guess I have to push back to gift date to the next year's birthday, in hope any of it gets lower than RM500. Others seem too high-powered, I just want to find two entry level Android phone with good help or user base for them girls.
*
Galaxy mini is around/below 500, if u can wait...best is still go for xperia mini pro cuz girls also play some games right? Galaxy mini will lag a bit when playing some casual games, galaxy ace also lag a bit. Xperia Mini pro should be smooth in casual games

I think I might go with Galaxy S+. don't really like the look of Galaxy W. and on the Maxis website, Nexus S is like 2k+ o.o Where to buy Galaxy S+ ah?
*
Nexus S can get from authorized dealers @ around 1k+-. It's still ori set smile.gif If AP then maybe 9xx. U can just go to any phone shops to get S+, but make sure check whether the warranty is from official samsung(ori) or other company(AP)
