Guys,

Does all the Android phone support the flash? I heard some cannot.

Thank You.
*
theres 2 limitation
either hardware/software

software - over 2.2 (but during the older times, HTC different, the only that support flash although just flash lite)
hardware - at least an ARM Cortex-A8 processor @ 550MHz, VGA resolution screen

Erhm let say if u list iphone 4, optimus 2x, sgs plus together, u can notify the difference in display easily? or actually it is not so obvious?

Hard to make the decision sad.gif
*
if u just normal users, u basically wont notice the differences..
but. . .

does it really matters?
i dont see any big deals with the displays...its not like colour & BW display which is big diff...

Brand:prefer brands that are famous
Budget: below 2k, maybe slightly above still ok
Specs: fast and smooth, gaming and surfing web
What i need, the phone to last me at least 2 years. so im planning to get a good phone.

currently looking at motorola atrix. is that good? read reviews but im afraid it wont be future proof. how about sgs2? couple of friends using it but it seem to have overheating problems and will auto restart at certain points.

thanks in advance!!

edit: or would u suggest that i wait? are there any new phones coming out that are worth waiting for?

QUOTE(caterpiez @ Oct 5 2011, 03:03 PM)
Between motorola atrix and lg optimus 3d, which one should I buy? Both have dual core processor.is it worth to have 3d camera?
*
ermm
wads so special bout 3D ?
did u personally tried them?

sgs2 better & cheaper price

or perhaps galaxy R(ap)/lg optimus 2x if u more to gaming (tegra 2 > exynos for this)
atrix has tegra 2 as well but its higher resolution makes benchmark performance much lower...

QUOTE(Alex Chillax @ Oct 5 2011, 05:55 PM)
wait for samsung google nexus prime!

its price fallen within rm1.5k?

QUOTE(Feinberg1 @ Oct 5 2011, 06:12 PM)
I need some recommendation, :

1. Brand. (HTC/Samsung/LG/Motorola/Others) : Prefer HTC, Samsung, LG, Sony Ericsson

2. Budget. (1.5k-2k) : Between RM 300 ~ RM 1000

3. Specs. (Ram/Proc/Camera's MP/Screen size) : any, better camera, screen as big as possible.

4. What you need in the phone (Good camera/good sound quality/durable)
haha, good camera, good sound, durable quality.

Actually the main function i request is just basically can run WhatsApp, TalkBox, Viber,
and convenience for me to take down some notes / recording.
Able to online using Wifi- through browser.

Any recommendation ? other than sony ericsson xperia x10.
*
SE XPERIA Ray (ori around 1.1k) / Neo (ap around 900) ?

much better camera than x10
using new 8MP Exmor R sensor optics
good @ taking low-light/night photos

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.
*
in deed, a very big difference on price eventhough u lost a month warranty

but no much ppl go claims warranty right? as most ppl would just void the warranty or just get a new phone b4 warranty ends sweat.gif

@adrianccseng
sorry but no offense,it is a recommendation,for mi300
you say that i might get ban for off topic,but IT IS A RECOMMENDATION,maybe 4 u guys here got budget more than 1k for a fone only,but as for me,been using mi300 for almost a year coz got no money to buy more fancy fone out there,so it is a recommendation to use mi300.
as for guys who got not much forva fone.try using mi300,and if u got no guts bout the warranty,stay at stock rom.  as for me,like i said b4,ITS NOT BOUT THE GADGET, ITS HOW U USED IT.
@angah_as
u still can get,as long as u know where to find it.and it is with 3.5 jack,been using it with external speaker for music

and again.i said.no offense.but if somebody here upset with my word,i m sorry sad.gif


Added on October 7, 2011, 11:54 pmjuz trying to help.those guys out there who juz like me,got no money but try to stay up to date with the growing technology out there
*
oh well..
not everybody would do those customizing

& mostly ppl u noe..seeking for high end stuffs...
of coz we would recommend mi300 sometimes..just depends...

sorry bro

no...
he speaking of those 5800xm, n97 is using resistive touchscreen

androids all are capacitive ones...

capacitive is much more responsive than resistive
but in certain cases, resistive have advantage over capacitive..(i forgot wut)

1. Brand. = Any
2. Budget. = 400
3. Specs. = Best spec in tat price range
4. What you need in the phone = wat can i expect from that type of budget?? errm... WIFI,decent camera... good battery life
*
hardly can find any <400
unless u raise abit to ~500 then mayb can get galaxy mini, x8, x10 mini or huawei boulder if u like qwerty...
personally i suggest up till 700 like that to get xperia mini (different from x10mini)
u get 3" HVGA reality display, 5mp+AF+LED + 720p recording, 1ghz proc with android 2.3, & full flash support

or mayb u find 2nd hand like x10, sgs, desire etc.

ray also uses Exmor R sensor optics...
technically, Ray/Arc/Neo/Pro..(iphone 4s too?) shares the same camera lens...

so between ray/neo
u have to decide whether if u need HDMI port or spare parts availability...due to neo is not officially launched @ malaysia, its AP set...recently reported by members they cant even get parts from SE official shops

i would say add a little bit budget... <700
hunt urself a xperia mini not x10 mini

just a little more, u get different alot...
such as 2.3 with full flash support, 1ghz proc...
other than the screen resolution, its spec is quite standard like mid end 1k~ phones

xperia mini got xLOUD thingy for speaker or idk what the hell related to sound
