Superbuy.my is a legitimate site. I've not bought from them before but you can check in this forum thread of other buyers' experience.

Can get DiGi internet gila promotion, you pay only RM48 for 3GB data instead of the normal RM68, and you can get the phone around RM1.1K brand new; OR you can buy from people who want to take the plan but don't want the phone.

Android still lags, it needs a lots of RAM especially with all the services and apps available; the worst part is the homescreen keeps restart; These important processes like phone, etc. should be kept in memory so we can access it fast. I guess you need to root it and install some apps to control this. Anyway, the most lacking part is the lack of true multi-tasking.

True, WP7 is really stable but it's also very plain and simple, 2D. If fluidity is what you're looking for, N9 or WP7 is what you need. If you need apps, WP7 will have more prospect and the upcoming updates should have more functions and features available plus refinements.

If you planning to get Android device, the device will need lots of ram available especially if you plan to install many apps which provides background services. Plus, the widgets too. Still, Maemo FTW! Despite how old it is.

But you need to pay RM500 advanced for for the DiGi Smartplan right?
I don't think there will be anyone want the smartplan but don't want the phone.If iPhone plan then it's a different story.

For Android I think you need around 768MB RAM to make everything smooth.When I first used SGS II I was quiet shocked to see the phone using 450MB+ RAM for regular operation.That's higher that my still rocking windows xp running pc.Even after all sort of modding mine still need around 380MB+ during idle.Google should try to optimise Android more.
Sony Ericsson(yours) & Samsung(mine) always had issues with software side.Hence the crashes & etc.However in recent time uncle Sammy got slightly better while Sony,well still suck.Aside from some logging tool crash I haven't experienced any crash with my SGS II(on both stock & custom tom)

Like what I said before,in term of functionality Symbian is better than WP7.If Nokia give Symbian a proper UI overhaul I think Symbian still can be competitive.
From what I can see now Windows Phone 7 starting to gain some track now from developers side.Plus it has decent value added services now.Most of this things happened because of Nokia's involvement in WP7.But it's remains to see what's the end users perception on WP7.

@Andy
You won the N9 from the Rangers contest?

Symbian is stuck in 360 x 640 pixels resolution. This limits the screen size in order not to look jaggy. Due to the apps the resolution cannot be easily upgraded.

RM500 advance payment is for the monthly payment, so you don't need to pay anything for like 10 months+. There're people willing to do it, but mostly they do it for Galaxy Note, and of course, they won't be selling at the price they bought, they might sell it higher to earn some profits. (e.g. RM1.3K for N9 16GB?). For Galaxy Note, they're selling like around RM2K, during when it's on high demand, it can go up to RM2150 or more.

No, for the contest, they haven't request back from us *yet*. I'm disqualified as I didn't submit my review on time, they need it on the first week which I'm busy.

For me, I like to run many background services/apps, like Skype, YM, FB, etc. All these consume memory, too bad it's not like Maemo/MeeGo, with true integrated accounts, don't have to manually open these individually. Memory management and maintaining core processes is crucial, but seems it's not well perform on Androids, keep seeing the homescreen restart; After some research, seems this is normal for Android, need to root and install some apps to control this.

Anyway, for Symbian, starting with Belle, there's much improvements and gives a better experience, make people want to meddle with it more. As for WP7, I guess it has it's own target audience, it's simple, 2D flat UI, maybe business people who don't want any fancy-looking UI, widgets, etc. or what they call, professional?


Depends who you're recommending; Not everyone wants an iPhone.

Any smartphone, to me, it's still better than iPhone (even my old 6600 running old Symbian, or my old Windows Mobile 2002 SMARTphone with NO Touchscreen), which is just an iPod Touch with integrated Phone feature, basically an evolved iPod. Personally, I won't consider iPhone as a smartphone. Well, that's for me.
