QUOTE(moyong @ Aug 9 2011, 10:42 PM) Brand. HTC or others Desire Z is around RM1.2 for AP, if you get the HTC G2 (US version) maybe a bit cheaper.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? 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. |

QUOTE(moyong @ Aug 10 2011, 09:56 AM) so what phone will be recommended with my budget without qwerty? for rm1k and below, u cant really get a good HTC phone, but other brands are ok too.i thought of getting Desire Z for the fun of it since it looks nice with the keypad 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 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. |

QUOTE(moyong @ Aug 10 2011, 12:28 PM) i think i'll revise my budget to 1.5k ^^ spend more now and benefit it out in long run. wow, from 1k to 1.5k is a big jump. you can get lots for that price range.saw that digi has optimus black and sensation at around 1k (with data plan). looks tempting eg: desire S ~1.3k galaxy s plus ~1.4k incredible s ~1.5k |

QUOTE(Dannyl @ Aug 11 2011, 10:45 AM) Actually, if budget hp for camera, surely Ace is better... for everything else, can consider X5. should just say camera LED or LEDAce has LED flash, no Adobe Flash. SGS has Adobe Flash, no camera flash. Surely that is a better description than your prevoius: Ace has no flash SGS lack of a flash. These are people looking for recommendation after all... might get them confused. |

QUOTE(minlekoq @ Aug 15 2011, 03:24 PM) faster doesnt mean better right, i pretty sure the cpu in ideos x5 is the same as desire Z, a second generation cpu that owned older 1ghz cpu, and a battery saver too. the mi410 is also using the 2nd gen snapdragon, but this one is msm8225@1ghz vs MSM7230@800mhz on the x5http://www.imcc.com.my/store/products.php?...CSL-Spice-Mi410 |

QUOTE(xDarkKnightx @ Aug 16 2011, 09:37 AM) The extra 400mhz is not really useful. yes there's no flash and its plasticky, but for a bit more $, i suggest the newer model Plus vs 1 year old S or the nexus.The camera lacks of a flash. Build quality is still lacking. Added on August 16, 2011, 9:38 am Shouldn't be very different. not proven, but samsung claim they tweak the new model to have better performance and also battery life. added: http://androidcommunity.com/samsung-galaxy...marks-20110811/ This post has been edited by nghj: Aug 16 2011, 10:00 AM |

QUOTE(xDarkKnightx @ Aug 16 2011, 10:52 AM) At that price I would suggest getting the Incredible S instead. The Nexus S is definitely better battery life wise compared to most models of the Hummingbird SOC. yes, i do remember that the HTC Inc S is one of the most popular phones recommended here, thats why i brought up the Plus.The Plus is running the 8255T which is a factory overclocked version of the 8255(Desire S/Xperia Neo/Xperia Play/etc) which means gaming wise, the Nexus or the older SGS is still more powerful. If the user doesn't intend to do HEAVY multitasking, the 400mhz or at least 200mhz is just a waste. Benchmark wise it might seem like a very good processor but practical wise, its not much different than a 1GHZ 8255 since they're of the same series and apps are already very fluid on the 8255. Also, if I'm not mistaken, a higher clocked processor consumes more battery right? in the end, the Incredible and Plus are just the same in terms of the msm8255 and adreno 205, except the Plus is clocked slightly faster. also i think that amoled screen and samsung tweaks are interesting because it's got advantage in battery life than the Inc S. in the end, i guess its just down to whether u prefer HTC or Samsung device |
