Thank you and have a nice day

I often stress this a lot and not many actually take note but PLEASE!

Include your requirements when you ask for a recommendation!


Edit 3:

Make sure your sentences are correctly typed and easily read. Keep it short and concise . If you ask in a very lazy way and indistinguishable sentences without requirements or any sort of specification I won't respond to your question.

Thanks and have a nice day.

Chacha is a social networking android phone. Really wouldn't recommend it to end users unless they're looking for a BB experience but want to stick to Android

Added on August 9, 2011, 3:36 pmPlease read the first post. Without requirements and a budget we can't recommend you anything.

Since you don't have either go for SGS2.

SL sucks badly compared to competitors at around the same price range though.

Salimbest you seem to brand most phones as battery hungry. Any reviews or so to support your accusation?
Most phones at that price range have batteries of at least 1400mah and no matter how bad it is, it wouldn't be drastic. DHD is an exception though. Really disliked it.

Added on August 10, 2011, 11:12 amSL has no real advantage over the SGS besides having a different screen(SCLCD) to the S-AMOLED.

Weaker GPU, weaker CPU, still no flash, and the build quality is still bad.

I would definitely go for phones like Huawei X5/CSL Mi-410 if I were to get the SL.

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.

Brand, servicing wise and also the assurance of future upgrades.

1.5k eh. I think you can get the Incredible S for around that price nowadays.

I'm a user too and very satisfied with its performance. The camera is also a contender to most high end phones now.

His choice but I wouldn't recommend the o2x. There are still issues with its screen.

Problematic screen. Wouldn't recommend it until its fixed.

Optimus Black is a single core phone.

Q8255. The same SoC as phones like Incredible S, DHD, CSL Mi-410.

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.

Around 1.4k

If you're not going for a 4G/HSPA/LTE package its useless.

They have pros and cons. The most obvious ones are that SCLCD gives a more mellow and real colour hue while S-AMOLED tends to saturate them a little.

You can choose to your liking.

Nope. If the issues were fixed then yes. But as of now, no.

HTC Incredible S. The best you can get at that budget.

Ace has no flash. Only phones with an A8 processor clocked at 800mhz and above supports flash.

Ace is just a factory overclocked A6 processor.

Added on August 11, 2011, 9:38 amI can't suggest the SGS to you due to the lack of a flash.

There are a few phones you can go for.

LG Optimus Black(Q8255/NOVA/5mp)
HTC Incredible S[Q8255/S-LCD/8MP(Very good camera)]
HTC Desire S[Q8255/Aluminium unibody/5mp/SLCD)


The two HTC phones can get gotten for below 1.5k if you go for AP sets. The LG is cheaper as ori sets are below 1.5k.

Yes its quite a good phone. The Nova screen is exceptionally unique.

Please don't clutter the thread.

I don't know why this phone is not popular but specs wise its very fufilling. Buying it from celcom should be okay if you're an existing user and satisfied with it. But the data coverage is not as wide as digi/maxis or so I've heard.

Nope.

Ace has no flash

SGS lacks of 'A' flash.

Well it depends on the comprehension of an individual.

But the way you put it makes it easier on beginners.

Anyway this discussion is not relevant to the thread

P.S: Gingerbread is already available via OTA. Upgraded mine a few months back. New sets should have it preloaded.

Added on August 11, 2011, 1:13 pm2x is not issue free. Wouldn't recommend it unless you're willing to live with it.

Optimus Black/Neo is okay though..

I already answered you. Don't post twice.

HTC Incredible S. The best you can get at that budget.

The screen on the Incredible S should be easier on your eyes.

You don't need a dual core phone for these usages.

Nope.

The SGS2's screen is stunning.

Due to the colour saturation, long hours of reading or viewing might strain your eyes and cause headache. Just my personal opinion. Your experience might differ.

Since you're using it for web browsing and stuff, why not consider the Samsung Galaxy Tab? A larger 7" screen and more suited for reading.

You're a stereotype.

Don't judge a phone by its brand.

1.4k for HTC Incredible S.

Specs wise roughly the same. Camera is quite powerful too.

Nook Color if you can find it. Under 1k.

Archos 7 is also okay. Roughly 1k or so.

I see. Not a fan of over-revealing phones eh?

For a more modest size, Desire S should do good too. Aluminium unibody design with a very unique colour hue for its body. Camera is less fulfilling at 5mp but battery life is more satisfying.
