My Sony Ericsson K550i is getting really old and since December 2007. Dead pixel, I am not sure how long it will fail dead pixel as large as 0.5cm radius(round spot) wide showed in on screen already. LOL.
1. Brand. = Any good brand with good software/durability.
2. Budget. = RM600-1000 (Ori phone only, since I am looking for using it for long long time)
(I cant put exact budget as I know there are some phones provide excellent price/performance/quality @ certain price range to justify the +/- Rm200-300 budget. But this are my budget range.) It would be much helpful if u could tell the pros and cons of these phones
3. Specs. = Noidea. Since I dont follow phone tech. Basically I need, Wi-fi, GPS(I might use a lot), basic phone call?
4. What you need in the phone (Good camera/good sound quality/durable) =
- the number one top priority will be durable. as I am planing to use this phone as long as possible, >3-5years.
- Drop-able? I usually drop my phone from my height(175cm), some from stairs. etc. yes I am a rough user, my k550i was scratched here and there.

I like this phone because it is drop able, I almost lost count on how many times I drop.
- Decent Camera. I think I am happy with just 3-4mp.
- GPS, I will be using this a lot.
- battery life, I am lazy to charge my phone.
- less heat when making phone call, as I know some phone generate a lot of heat around ur ear when u call.
been reading this thread, so far I can see X5/Xperia neo. my question is are these phone trash-able? Any other suggestion? i usually spend about R600-800 on phone unless there are RM1K phone with huge advantages to justify the RM200 top up.
