Ace has no flash. Only phones with an A8 processor clocked at 800mhz and above supports flash.

Ace is just a factory overclocked A6 processor.

I can't suggest the SGS to you due to the lack of a flash.

Your definition of flash differs from post to post biggrin.gif

for me.. Spice mi300 doesn't disapointed me at all before for its price.
and its sure can give Ace a run for its money.

Pict quality for "lowly" mi300 for comparison

hehe..
if u kinda not like CSL mi410.
just try Ideos X5. really worthy than Ace in the long run

Actually, if budget hp for camera, surely Ace is better... for everything else, can consider X5.

QUOTE(xDarkKnightx @ Aug 11 2011, 10:39 AM)
Nope. biggrin.gif

Ace has no flash

SGS lacks of 'A' flash.
*
Ace has LED flash, no Adobe Flash.
SGS has Adobe Flash, no camera flash.

Surely that is a better description than your prevoius:
Ace has no flash
SGS lack of a flash.

These are people looking for recommendation after all... might get them confused.

Brand: any
Budget: not fixed, the cheaper the better
Spec: <4" screen (or something suitable, X10 already too big); at least Froyo; good camera
Use: take pics & videos, calls, SMS, Viber, GPS, Facebook, surf Internet

Desire S off the top of my head. Any others?

SGS vs SG SLCD vs S Plus. Is SGS considered 'obsolete' since it's discontinued? Is SLCD and S Plus worth their price? So few people use them. Good dev support? Accessories totally same as SGS? Thanks.

Actually what is /k/?

Custom skin/theme/ launcher that phone maker put on top the Android.
Sony with Timescape
Samy with TouchWiz
Moto with MotoBlur
LG with "i don remember what its called"
the bes of emm all is
HTC Sense 3.0

but if u're into custom ROMs
MIUI is still the best.

Isn't Timescape the app which shows all your social communications timeline in 1 screen?

i am gonna sell of my 5 month old wildfire since its so slow and laggy,kenot play any freaking games LOL.. XD

how much do you guys think the shop will take?

considering to buy a higher proccesor speed like 800 or above. budget below rm900

in my mind now;

a) LG Optimus One
b) X5

comments and critics welcome

Wildfire 2nd-hand selling for about 400-500 here in Garage Sales. If the shop offers you similar price, take it. Otherwise sell it yourself here. Your best option would be X5.

QUOTE(alister88 @ Sep 8 2011, 12:23 PM)
Hi.. little help here?

Thanks. =)

There are better-speced options at your budget. If you really really dig that FB button, then I would take the Salsa. ChaCha is too unusual (unless you really want the QWERTY), you even have to Viber sideways.

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)?

QUOTE(DewDropDazzle @ Sep 15 2011, 08:58 PM)
Hi, I wanna buy a new phone but stuck between Samsung Galaxy S Plus and HTC Incredible S (or any other good phones around). Both the phone prices varies between RM100-200. My budget is abit tight let say RM1400-1500 (the lesser the better).

What i need in a phone is that it must have friendly UI, app friendly, touch screen sensitive. I seldom take pictures (even if i took i only took pictures of food lol). A front cam is a must coz i uses video call.

And i'm in a fix. Dont know which phone suits me. Much help would be appreciated ! Thank you !

P/S: Currently using Nokia C6-01. Its my first time using a Nokia and i had a bad experience. Not even 2 weeks after i bought it the loudspeaker went kaboom and i need to send it for repair n waited 3 weeks. So was hoping that i could get a better phone than that. No offence intended to Nokia fans >"<
*
I would have to second salimbest83 and recommend the IS as well. Between the 2 models:

S Plus
+ Super AMOLED screen
+ accessories (same dimension as S)
- GPS problems
- plasticky compared to IS
- not much community support

IS
+ superb all rounder
+ good build quality
+ 8mp camera

Nexus 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
+Rarer
+Cheaper
-no official sets (except Maxis), AP only

Galaxy S
+Arguably better looking design
+Has a microSD slot
+TV-out
+plenty of accessories
+Gorilla glass
+Takes HD 720p videos
-not in production anymore, AP only

LG is the new king of slow updates. Even their Optimus One (almost 1 year old) haven't received Gingerbread even though it's promised when launched.

for me buying 2nd hand ori warranty is more worthy than AP. (AP depend on which shop u go.. good one is okay la)

Me too. As long as the condition is very good, still has warranty, I'd rather go for ori 2nd-hand than AP.

BTW, that Desire S from Ken was sold. It was a good deal.

thanks for suggestion.

xperia ray coming soon, Q3 2011, price around Rm 1000~ Rm 1100. i have checked, this model screen 3.3" only, nice to view ? would it be too small ?

It's almost same size as HTC Legend, HTC Aria, etc. 3.3" is too small for me. My sweet spot is 4", but some people like small phones. Be sure to try it out before you buy!

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.
*
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

Not bad. Why I've never heard of it before? The spes are better than ACEbut how about the quality of the hp?

Hard to find people selling and using. Build quality is good. Got problem with deep sleep, which is solvable if you flash custom ROM. Warranty service unknown.

QUOTE(fcuk90 @ Oct 23 2011, 05:06 PM)
i can say the quality is great ,

Ace have a few bug , auto turn off when using wifi , others i cant recall .
*
According to a user, wifi turn off is solved and battery life doubled with Gingerbread release. But in the fast-moving cycle of Android phones, as others have pointed out above, there are better options at the RM800 price point than this 8-month old model.

guys, between SE Xperia X10 and HTC Desire, which one is better? currently searching for a 2nd hand phone that is around RM700.

X10 better specs but Desire better out-of-the-box experience. If you don't tweak, get Desire (Phone of the Year 2010).
