Brand. HTC or others
2. Budget. around 1k + -
3. Specs: Thinking of getting HTC Desire Z due to the qwerty keypad ^^
4. What you need in the phone: Total android newbie, but i think what i seek in android is the data package (internet on the go)

I've been using nokia 5800 for 2 years+ now trying to find a phone to upgrade. So far my 5800 has served me quite well except on the internet part.

may I also know the price of HTC Desire Z now in the market?

Desire Z is around RM1.2 for AP, if you get the HTC G2 (US version) maybe a bit cheaper.

for android phones, most ppl will get used to using it without a qwerty hardware keyboard, thats why most phone are just touchscreen.
if u can accept the 5800, i think without qwerty also shouldnt be problem.
so what phone will be recommended with my budget without qwerty?

i thought of getting Desire Z for the fun of it since it looks nice with the keypad laugh.gif

how about LG optimus black is it a good phone?

i dont demand much just something with decent internet browsing and some android apps (which i believe is the same in all android phones).

please help notworthy.gif

for rm1k and below, u cant really get a good HTC phone, but other brands are ok too.
the most popular recommended phone here for below RM1k is the huawei x5, around RM900.

It has the same processor as the desire z, but is thinner and lighter without the keyboard.
the x5 has a big 1500mah battery also.

what if i increase my budget to 1.5k... any decent HTC or samsung phone?

wow that cheap? i'll research for X5

If you don't mind a CSL phone, go for the Mi-410. Definitely more powerful than the X5 but you might have to compromise other aspects in turn for it.

what aspects are you referring to?
btw i'm planning to get a decent phone that can last longer than 2 years (in trend) example like my 5800 laugh.gif

Battery is a huge dealbreaker.

The capacity is just slightly larger if compared to my old Galaxy 5.

I've tested my bro's and friend's DHD. Neither of their's lasted more than 8 hours before requiring a charge.

The Incredible S is definitely better.


but how much is Incredible S now? and i heard that there is some screen problem with Sensation. @.@ so many phones.... confusing rclxub.gif
