wah thanks for the suggestions~ i just had my hands on the neo and w~ didn't like it~ kinda look small for me~ doh.gif  now my interest is arc S~  hmm.gif  hmm.gif

willing to up my budget to arc S price~ but im worried if it will be laggy as the internal memory sounds quite small~

all sifus please guide and suggest if there are any other phones that has the screen as big as arc S, and price around the price for arc S?

thanks a lot!!! notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

I don't think small internal storage will cause lagginess, if small RAM then yes.

4" screen ok? Got...
-LG optimus 2X(laggy on stock ROM, custom ROM ok)
-Samsung galaxy S plus (not many custom ROMS available I think)
-Motorola Atrix (might not get ICS update)
-top up and get HTC sensation @ around 1.5k (4.3" screen)
-Google nexus S (if u can find 1 ori set)
-HTC incredible S (sense UI might slow the phone down a bit)
-SE xperia play

All above are 4" screen except HTC sensation, arc S I think is 4.2". If u insist on arc S, go ahead...quite a good choice icon_rolleyes.gif

edit: Sorry, forgot 1 big 1...HTC desire HD. 4.3" screen @ around arc S price

For that budget, might be hard

I only can recommend you to go for Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro - RM 650 Or Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro - RM 650

Both should be okay...

Kae7, im curious on why do u still recommend symbian (^the vivaz)? I have not used 1 before but many people say it's bad. May I know why u still recommend? Just wanna know more bout symbian, not wanna fight/against u blush.gif

Referring to the soapmac question, some of symbian devices meet his requirement and needs, So why not recommending him the symbian phone, i'm not one sided or biased, i also recommend the android device too

And the symbian Devices still okay for me, nothing wrong, still can get great apps and games.. So, why not ? biggrin.gif

Of course I would recommend to go for Nokia OS which is new and better smile.gif but his budget isnt much enough

Oh thanx for the info biggrin.gif but what's Nokia OS? U mean meego?

Which phone is better to buy? and Why?

Htc sensation or sensation xe or Se arcs...

HTC sensation XE is surely better than normal sensation. XE wins arc S in speed while arc S wins in camera.

Overall I would say XE better smile.gif

The most suitable 1 for u is still used x10 in my opinion hmm.gif most smartphones I think the batt also like this 1 la, most important is turn off 3G when not in use. Maybe u can top up a bit and go for used HTC incredible S? But I cant be that certain about batt life, sorry

if around 800 can get dual core then maybe i can topup lolz
anyway comparing s.e with lg
which is better in that 800 price range?
*
Just a reminder on optimus 2x. That phone got crappy camera, dual core but still lags on stock ROM(custom ROM ok) and also bad battery life as far as I know.

At 600+, an x10 is still recommended but I remember u dun really want SE right? So if I recommend u phones with lower quality cam is that ok?

-HTC Desire (got only dual touch and got some probs with the alignment so you'll need to think twice if u want it for games) (small internal storage for apps). Recommended only if u like to flash custom ROMS wink.gif

-Samsung galaxy S/SL/W

-Motorola defy

-HTC desire S. AP set

The 6 I suggested is 2nd hand, so can fit your budget smile.gif but I think still have to top up a bit for some

what do u guys think of WP7 in general?

btw, any suggestions for a cheap Windows Phone?

Nice and smooth stock UI. But currenty lack of apps. For cheap new set, can try HTC radar or nokia lumia 710 (not sure available edi or not). If 2nd hand can look at HTC HD7 / Samsung omnia 7 / LG optimus 7 (got bad camera but better gpu than the other 2)

Any good phone around RM 200?
My dad wants another phone for him to bring to his workplace.
He needs the phone to be tough and won't easily broken when accidental drop or hit happen (put in pocket, hit hard concrete/metal like that).

Requirements: Solid tough, SMS, Calls and at least a decent camera for him to take pictures of his works.

Might be able to top up until RM 400, but of course the cheaper the better. Thanks smile.gif

Maybe can look at 2nd hand SE cybershot phones? hmm.gif not sure bout this

2. Budget.
900 - 1100

3. Specs.
WIFI
Decent battery Life
Internet browser
Document viewer & editor (read PDF, edit microsoft office doc)
tough phone

4. Type/Size. (Candybar, Clamshell etc...)
Doesnt matter
i got two phones in mind SE Xperia Active and Motorola Defy+, but active screen is quite small and defy+ i read around, always got some kind of problems..

Thanks!

Must it be as durable as those 2? Or why not just get a casing? If can, u have 3 choices.

-Huawei honor
(most recommended)

-HTC desire S
(better get ori instead of AP cuz got a few cases of "motherboard koyak", ori warranty and service more reliable)

-Samsung galaxy W

huawei honor and galaxy w seems a good idea, but how about the sunlight legibility? i don't want to have a large screen but i can't see anything when its bright in the afternoon.

how bout quality? is it any good? anywhere i can get tough casing for either honor or galaxy w? how bout its future value?

htc, i'm not into it, bad experience with my last two.

thanks for the recommendation.

The sunlight legibility should be better on the honor or same as W, should be la.

Samsung should have better resale value than huawei, u can get casings from garage sales section.

May I know what kind of bad experiences u had with HTC?

hey there, thanks for the recommendation, yeah, i'm now torn between defy+ and galaxy w, defy+ at least i don't need extra casing to make it durable yet galaxy w got better spec, if a little more than defy+, will consider it agaian.

bad experience with htc? my first htc is the kaiser, bought it new, but dunno why, always shut down by itself, sometime cannot call out, the touchscreen sometimes didn't respond or anything, sent to service a few time, than give up, than trade in to touch diamond 2, a bigger crap for me. similar problems, up to a point where i just want to throw it away.

so, i'm just using a feature phone right now, but itching to get an android phone or good spec wp7 phone, within the price range of course.

Actually now HTC no longer like this as far as I know smile.gif

Hey guys, pls advise me if u will go for htc sensation,samsung note or the new nexus s????

Previuosly I like sensation and the sense UI than samsung S2,long body shape....but now i cant make my mind  rclxub.gif

I like Note-phonelet, S pen...size and I read from review,seem like the harware is better then Nexus S, or mayb i misunderstood ady... But its really big lo,and do u think its weird to talk on it? hrm.....have u seem ppl talking on it, and whats do u feel ler?????

Nexus S with all update from google and the OS....but i not really admire the design  whistling.gif  however its seems good +supported from what i read in this forum...?

******My usage for my 1st smartphone is basically like/what i want:    
p/s: own a laptop

rclxms.gif Internet surfing, calls...email, doc view, games, photo,video call etc like U  smile.gif

rclxms.gif Good+big screen (4.3' is ok) camera+ minor use(since i ady have one DC) good would be better hehehe
          connectable to any others devices

rclxms.gif Good battery, value of money,good gps, durable..reliable, good helper i guess...hahahah rclxm9.gif

I've seen 1 guy use note to call people before, not weird looking to me. For the nexus, it is galaxy nexus not nexus S...nexus S is the older version. See u like the design of galaxy nexus or not icon_rolleyes.gif If not, HTC sensation XE since u said the note too big
