Actually my gf always prefer ace but when she found out the display sux she is kinda sad and reluctant to switch to other chice sad.gif
If the display quality is still tolerable might as well ask her to get ace, any comment from ace owner?

suck? it's all good to me since the 1st day i got it. S-AMOLED.. well my buddy is using SGS2 but don't think there is anything to shout about it. Ok la nice view but not much impact functionality.

Please take note, im not someone who would watch a video on the phone cause i rather do it on my TV. tongue.gif Anyway planning to sell my ACE d. gotten myself Xperia Mini Pro. For the keyboard yo. haha

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.

so how the phone bro? Damn good? haha i am still unsure cause Nexus S is freaking cheap atm. RM990 only for brand new.

QUOTE(x132755 @ Nov 8 2011, 12:10 AM)
good test..
Atrix is dual core  thumbup.gif
Nexus S single core..
*
Haha but sometimes it's not necessary for you to have dual core in your gadget. How many of us do actually need that much raw processing power? I bet not many of us. More importantly I'm only using it for light youtube, surfing, fagbooking and so on only.

What would you recommend bro?

P/S: damn... i am changing phone every 2 - 3 months. shit... wasting too much money.

HTC doesn't offer any decent phones below 1k. Salsa is not a bad phone but with phones like Galaxy W/Nexus S/Huawei X5, it doesn't stand a chance.
Nexus S should be okay. Actually for your usage, most phones would live up to your requirements.
*
Yeah, agree i think for my usage NExus should be good enough. hurmm....

Galaxy W is a nice choice for below 1k,
Actually this is a second phone, for sms purpose only, wanna get a QWERTY phone actually but don't want a BB.
Planning to get the Samsung M pro, my guess it's about RM 699-799 but until now it's not launched  mad.gif

the Galaxy S appeals to me, because with it, now i can play the GameLoft games, then my iPhone 4 battery can last much longer  tongue.gif

and it's RM 650

get a HTC cha cha la. 2nd hand rm500 in garage sales you can get it. i feel that it's damn solid. good buy.

Added on November 19, 2011, 7:33 amhaving experience with its very2 tiny screen.. i gave up on its owner..
too much for an android..

u baca ker tak baca. for ppl like us who like text messaging it's always QWERTY > screen size. MI300? that sux dont u think so? Mi300? the screen itself is a joke imo.

Galaxy note:isnt it too big for jeans pocket or shirt pocket ?
Nexus:is bigger or the same with s2 ? how much is the price range ? is it the same with nexus s ?
Htc sensation:better spec ? size ? and price im malaysia.thanks.
*
Yup it would be too big for working pants. NExus is 0.3" larger but price is about rm800 difference and its an ap set.
HTC Sensation better? Nah no where close but the sound quality is definitely better for Sensation XE. Both Galaxy S2 and Note is far lacking behind compared to IP4 sound quality but Sensation XE totally impress me

Android phone with QWERTY keypad

tested the ChaCha - don't like the key pad..

any other model? is samsung have?
*

unfortunately that would be your best bet at the moment. I'm still awaiting for motorola pro to be available but seems like it will never happen

If i am not mistaken it's depending on the dealership. Dorno what partner shop will be selling phone with 2 years warranty those normal shop will be selling at 1 year warranty.

at the moment, i think SE camera on their android is leading the way. Even SGS2 is on part with SE xperia mini pro only. IMO la when i compare those pictures taken on my SGS2 vs xperia mini pro.

Actually, does Android scale the CPU speed on demand?  Even without apps like Overclock Widget, I noticed my CPU usage spans across a range of clock speeds when viewed in CPU Spy, from around 200Mhz  to max speed
You view on phone or on PC? biggrin.gif

PC la if not how to compare...
