ok guys, after testing and playing my friend HTC aria, samsung galaxy ace, SE vivas and SE xperia mini pro.. i fall in love in xperia mini pro....

what i can say :

htc aria- good and solid phone, but a bit heavy and i dont like the material of the phone, make my hand sweat, camera not nice sad.gif

vivas: good light and simple phone, not an android phone but it simple and i love it with the nice video recording. thumbup.gif

samsung ace: light weight and like a toy..haha..but i read there's some issue with this phone hmm.gif

xperia mini pro: small..suit my hand, comfort holding it, although it 3' screen but it just nice..simple and android 2.3..fast and nice video recording rclxm9.gif 

been playing with all the android apps and testing the video and i can see that games is not my attention at all.. i more prefer the map, gps, and health and fitness apps in android store, good camera and fact respond..that it..

p/s: dont like qwerty scared cepat rosak..
try avoid bigger screen because my friend said 'the bigger the screen, the faster battery drain'

b4 this, i made up my mind taking samsung galaxy mini after raya, but i think i change my mind....or maybe u guys got better suggestion? brows.gif

and how much is phone on market right now?
is it around rm680  hmm.gif
*
go for SE xperia mini pro

Need recommendation on value-for-money (cheap) android phone. 2nd hand also can consider;

1. Brand : Any
2. Budget : 300~500
3. Specs : value for money
4. Mainly for listening music & reading comic .cbr/.zip

at the moment using HTC Touch. Really slow, loading comic pages. Sigh.

Dear All,

Good day. My 1st Andriod phone is Sony Xperia X10.
Big screen, nice phone. And really didn't go to explorer what is Andriod. Cause I got an Iphone as well.

2nd Andriod is Samsung Galaxy Ace 5380. Light, nice camera, high spec compare to X10. But only use it for few months.

3rd Andriod is Xpeira Arc. This Arc is nice to hold, slim, and smooth. compare to the previous 2 Andriod phone, this is the best I ever had.

Recently change to Galaxy SII. And this time I really go search the forum, XDA, Lowyat regarding how to root, flash ROM and etc. This SII really fast, no lag at all.

lolx s2 off course lor
best android phone so far

Hi guys, im an android newbie here. Planning on upgrading my phone and figure i should jump on the android bandwagon.

1. Brand : Any
2. Budget : up to RM800
3. Specs : not too fragile phone (my phones get tossed around a bit...)
4. What you need in the phone :
- Good battery life
- an OK camera (just for uploading to blog and catching those impromptu Kodak moments)
- preferably dual-SIM since i currently carry two phones and its a bit of a hassle
- something simple for me to learn and play around with android, like flashing, rooting without cursing myself too much
- not too big of a phone (something that still feels like a phone in my hand)
- can sync to exchange/corporate outlook email (Android has an app for this right?)

Sorry i dont really know what are android capabilities hence the questions above.

Some friends recommended the CSL Mi350 or the mini Mi322 because of dual sim, while others recommended getting Galaxy Ace, Gio or Mini depending on how it feels in my hands. I like the Galaxy Mini because it feels nice and small in my hands, but afraid the smallish screen might be a minus point on the Android experience. Any thoughts and Recommendations?
*
*so far i only know csl got an android dual sim phone
other brand haven't heard before
so go for it if u want
otherwise, go for SE xperia mini / mini pro
