I still suggest your dad to try/test the phone before buy
Just to make sure that your dad like the phone or not

still a good phone.. you can read --> http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1545860

hard to find new set nowadays.. but you can try search

budget..?

Nokia is better

Nokia Maps never disappoint me when using it while travelling..

there is no brand name Android ..


anyway i suggest , Samsung Captivate Glide - RM 1500 for AP , or wait for Milestone 3

if you dont want use casing..

Xperia Active and Motorola Defy + is the options if you want tough phone..

no other phone that met your requirement other than that...


Nokia X1-00 -> RM 130 for ORI
Nokia X1-01 -> RM 140 for ORI
Nokia C1-00 -> RM 110 for ORI

CSL Mi-350 , RM 690 for ORI

Which Samsung that available in Malaysia ?
maybe need to wait for Samsung Galaxy Y duos --> http://www.lowyat.net/v2/index.php?option=...d=5918&Itemid=2

what is your need and requirement ..? and do you need those big sized smartphones or tablets..?

so, you need tab ,

you can try the tab 7.7 or tab 7 plus


Note maybe a bit smaller if you want to edit photo ,

got.. but I don't want to suggest the China tablet to you

maybe Huawei Mediapad ,


Tab 7 Plus - RM 1550 ORI , Tab 7 - RM 1490 ORI ,

it is worth actually

Nokia X1-01 -> RM 130 ORI
Nokia C1-00 -> RM 110 ORI
Samsung E2152 --> RM 190 ORI

might be wait for Xperia S , still don't know the performance in term of camera.. , but from the rumours, it maybe has decent and good camera...

for now ,

- Nokia N8 , Samsung Galaxy S2 , Motorola RAZR XT910


regarding telco.. it up to you..

Celcom and Maxis may have better connection and coverage.

usage..?

I suggest --> Nokia 701, Blackberry Curve 9360 , Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc , Samsung Galaxy W , Huawei Honor , Google Nexus S ,

all are good..

Xperia Arc better in camera , it is old already.. but will get ICS update

Galaxy W may have better spec , but dunno whether it will get the ICS[Ice Cream Sandwich , Android 4.0] update or not..

Nexus S good spec.., get ICS update , for Malaysia Market.. it use Super LCD Screen, not an AMOLED screen

what is hard battery life ??

anyway, HUAWEI U8350 Boulder is your only choice with that budget

USED SET

I only know QWERTY or QWERTZ keyboard.

anyway.. QWERTY keyboard ->

Nokia Asha 200 , RM 250 ORI

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini -> full touchscreen

anyway.. Nokia Asha 300 is also good..

Sony Ericsson Xperia mini [AP set] - RM 500 AP
Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini - RM 425 ORI
