Hi all,

I need some suggestions. Specs below:

OS: Android
Price Range: RM500 below each(need to buy a pair/two sets, so max. RM1000 budget)

Required:
Camera at least 5MP
Adobe Flash support
Battery capacity at leat 1500mAh
Bluetooth
Wi-Fi
3G
NOT telco plan price (want to buy at one go instead of monthly, in case there will be time I'm unable to pay)

Preferable ( but not necessary) :
QWERTY Keyboard slide
got front camera
PC driver ( like Nokia's Ovi Suite ) so they can backup their contacts, notes, etc...
feminine appeal ( for example, have in pink or red color)


even for secondhands, there should be an estimation of price for good used phones. Suggestions?

Was interested with the Galaxy Y, but the camera is....and the battery doesn't seem to last long.
Also interested with the CSL Mi300 or Mi350, but not sure they support Adobe Flash or not.

Stay away from galaxy y, seriously. the 300 doesn't have adobe, from http://geekaphone.com/phones/Spice-Mobile-Mi-300 lah. And You could check out mi300, or ideos x3. biggrin.gif

Why, whats wrong with galaxy y? I'm curious.


Hm...if Mi300 don't have flash support, I guess it's out of the question.

Haha cous got it, the cam sucks big time. And the auto-rotate hangs alot, typing's good since there's swype. And its a good overall phone, not to hate or anything. If you don't mind chinese manufactures, huawei is kinda good, not to mention affordable biggrin.gif

Does huawei have driver options (like Ovi Suite)? Had a CSL once, but it didn't have any PC driver.

Was thinking about galaxy mini, or htc wildfire s, but both battery capacity below 1500mAh

how about xperia mini pro? it meets all your requirements except for the battery capacity

Um...maybe you've mistaken the price for xperia mini pro and xperia x10 mini pro. I browsed around lelong.com.my and the x10 is lower than RM500, but the xperia mini pro is above RM500....

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

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.
