First and foremost, we (the mods for this section) are tired of cleaning threads that are asking for suggestions for which is a better phone model and etc. Thus, I'm opening this thread here to compile all your enquiries and valuable suggestions. Any model vs. model thread that comes after today (13.02.09) will either be closed or nuked with no reason given.

For those who are asking for suggestions, please make sure you ask them nicely, clearly and politely. For suggestions givers, please reply in sensible ways and state reason(s) for the model(s) that you suggested. Else, we will treat it as spam. For e.g.:
1) I suggest you to choose this <model> because it has WiFi, 3G and etc... (Accepted)
2) Take this <model>, it is good! (Spam)

Also, suggestions givers please take note that:
It is encouraged and advised to quote the suggestions seekers' post whenever you to try to give suggestions. This is to avoid confusion and for better reference to the other users in the future.

Please be alert too that this thread is only for model vs. model suggestion and not for phones recommendation. For that, we have a catered thread for it. Head over to this thread: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/872196

Thanks for reading and please do not abuse this thread with unnecessary posts a.k.a. spam.


*I'll update this post from time to time if it is necessary.

* Please dont ask about the price of the phone here.. you can search it at >> Garage Sales

SE Xperia Mini Pro vs. SE Live With Walkman
*
firstly.. you want physical qwerty keyboard or dont want flex.gif ??

SE Xperia Mini Pro
-> has physical QWERTY keyboard
-> LED Backlit LCD [just better than TFT in term of display, doesnt much difference to be honest]
-> smaller screen than Live[3.0 vs 3.2]
-> the Sony Mobile BRAVIA Engine may helps in display[you may read @ http://wp.me/p1smWw-4A8 ]
-> has bigger internal memory [400MB VS 320MB] , but both have microsd card slot[which upgradable up to 32GB]
-> others function,ram,processor,gpu is similar to live

SE Live with Walkman
-> has NO physical QWERTY keyboard
-> TFT display [just normal LCD display]
-> well.. it is walkman, and you may expect it has better speaker [with Sony xLoud enhancement]
-> support USB on the Go [i love this function... can attach your pendrive and browse your data in pendrive through handphone.. you also can play things inside the pendrive, not only pendrive.. even the HDD also can] laugh.gif
-> the Walkman series is unique [at least for me]


just choose which one you want..

Hi, what's the difference between the HTC desire S and HTC Rhyme?
*
actually there are many differences that we can get from both phones..
1. the model name ,

2. Desire S may have smaller internal memory than HTC Rhyme [1.1GB VS 4GB]

3. Desire S is cheaper [RM 1070 for ORI] , while Rhyme is more expensive [ RM 1400 for ORI]

4. choice of color

5. bluetooth version [2.1 in Desire S , while Rhyme = v3.0]


anyway.. performance wise, both are neck to neck ,

Also , the desire S or rhyme has better battery life

hmm, battery life.. depend on your usage,


Rhyme has bigger battery capacity anyway..


but with some tweaks , you can increase the battery life..

I'm sorry, can't say much about battery life... sweat.gif

Galaxy S vs Galaxy W vs Xperia Neo?
*
Galaxy S is old already , but..

Galaxy S has better looking screen , it use Super AMOLED screen which is beautiful , tongue.gif ,
Galaxy S has bigger internal memory which is 8GB compared to 1.7GB in Galaxy W and 320MB in Neo ,
but all them has MicroSD card slot

for Android , internal memory is important for you to install apps [although there are ways to enable you to install the apps in memory card..

Xperia Neo has better camera with good camera features..

Galaxy W has higher clocked processor[1.4GHz] while the rest have 1GHz processor..

So far Galaxy S is still recommended although it is old already.. Galaxy W has great spec and it is newer model , while the Xperia Neo is just a good phone...with better camera features..

Galaxy S maybe a bit expensive

^ I saw second hand Galaxy S cheaper than Neo and W, that's why I asked about it. Is it worth getting it instead of W/Neo? I heard that there's no latest android update for Galaxy S. Is that true? And how to enable installation of app into memory card, do we need to hack the phone? And does Wonder work better than Neo?

Sorry for all the questions tongue.gif Not sure what phone to get sad.gif
*
to enable the installation app into memory card[maybe need to root/hack ].. I'm not so sure because I'm not an Android user.. , but I also heard that.. no need to root/hack/or need special apps for that]

you can just lurk around in --> http://forum.lowyat.net/Android for more info

The percentage for Galaxy S to get ICS update is low.. smile.gif but you can always hope for Custom ROMS for that..


Wonder and Neo , i still suggest Wonder over Neo biggrin.gif ...

Can I know why you suggest W over Neo? Just wondering because I've a few people telling me to get Neo instead so I want to know your opinion  hmm.gif. and would custom ROM damage the warranty for Galaxy S?  blink.gif

I'm mainly looking for good quality camera and ease of use. Would love good screen type too but not super demanding on that. Battery life also must be good so which one would be better? Thank you for answering my questions yeah  sweat.gif
*
because Galaxy W has better processor, and the stock OS is quite good.. ,

but if you still want to go for Neo , it is not bad too.. since u required good camera.. Neo has good camera[as I've stated before]...


custom ROM will void the warranty .. [but if you want to send it to warranty.. you can change your Custom ROM back to official ROM..]

xperia pro vs nokia e7
*
Nokia E7 use AMOLED screen , while Xperia Pro using LED backlit LCD , IMO, I've see both of them.. E7 has nicer screen

Nokia E7 have bigger internal memory = 16GB but no memory card slot. while
Xperia Pro has smaller internal memory - 320MB[usable] , but has memory card slot [up to 32GB]


Nokia E7 use Symbian^3, or Anna which is upgradable to Nokia Belle OS
while Xperia Pro use Android Gingerbread which is upgradable to Ice Cream Sandwich ,

the thing is, what do you exactly want in your smartphone..?

by comparing device with different OS , I can't said that Nokia E7 is better phone or Xperia Pro is better.. because they use different OS..

despite Xperia Pro may have higher clocked processor and bigger RAM , doesn't mean that it is better than Nokia E7 ..

because they use different OS...

Comments on BB9900 vs BB9790? 

My main concern is reliability and batt life...

BB9900 seems to have reliability and stability issues?  Anyone knows if still a problem? although i prefer the bigger keyboard of BB9900...

Appreciate your comments.
*
No reliability and stability issues,

Battery life , both have similar battery life, i suggest you use the 3rd party battery such as sunglobal to make sure your battery can last around 2 days,,..

9900 is more reliable..


Anyway.. 9900 is better than 9790 except that, 9790 has autofocus camera, while 9900 using fixed focus camera,, it is big turn down for me,, but for normal user.. They dont care that much,,

Ideos X5 has bigger screen[3.8 inches] , believe me , when u are using touchscreen phone , 3.2 inches is not enough

Ideos X5 has bigger internal memory , 2GB.. but both have microSD card slot [upgradeable to 32GB]

Ideos X5 can record video in HD , has better camera features..

Ideos X5 has better processor and GPU..

Overall, in term of hardware Ideos X5 win biggrin.gif

What do you mean by commends..?

I commend you choose which OS that you want ,

either iOS or Android ,

then you can choose which phone you want..

seriously , this type of comparison had already been discussed smile.gif

the things is you need to choose which OS that you want..


the other features and spec is another things..

of course they have different spec, and they have their own advantage.. but if comparing both phones from different OS , it seems unfair.. smile.gif because... they are different wink.gif

hi! thanks for all the opinions. Frankly, i hav no idea which smartphone i should pick as im a totally new user for smartphone. Headache when think of whether should pick ios or android phone。。。。 rclxub.gif
*
iOS 5 in iPhone 4S --> easier to use , look fancy , has many useful apps , its apps store/itunes store is larger than android market , smooth , you won't notice any bad lag [iPhone 4S] , iPhone 4S has Siri features , nice camera , iPhone 4S has good resale value and it is one of the high demanded phone in Malaysia[for more than RM 2000 phone]

Android 4.0 in Galaxy Nexus --> nice , a bit advanced than iOS , for people who like Android, of course they will go for this phone..,

the thing is you need to test both phone.. and check which is the best for you..

in term of OS, we can't help you much .. you need to try.. which phone is easier and better for you..

of course for me.. iPhone 4S is easier, don't need to think much to use the features..
