QWERTY Keyboard is better if u wanna type faster..

So you want a qwerty keyboard phone ,

can I know what format of the video that you want to play..?
and also , what format of the ebook..? pdf..?

I suggest Blackberry 9800 , Nokia E7
*
video format - mainly download stuff form online . basic stuff , avi, mkv etc.
ebook. mostly pdf but might look into other formats as well.

but blackberry no flash support rite ? so wont it be troublesome to when surfing online ?

But Blackberry support HTML5 for OS7 ,  which sites that you wanna go that have flash content..?
HTML5 > Flash
sad.gif

Nokia E7 can play that video format , but Blackberry cannot..
*

actually the video thing not such a big issue, worst case i can just convert the file b4 uploading to my phone.

i forgot to mention another important feature i must have : radio , something which the blackberry doesnt have.

my concern with the E7 , is that the 680 processor and 256 RAM sufficent to avoid lag ?

was looking through , came across xperia pro . whats ur take on that ?

If qwerty was not a requirement , what would u suggest ? just looking at other options.

with that spec, E7 can run well..

lag or hang can't be avoided... sweat.gif  ,

even u use high spec Android device, you will notice lag ..

but E7 can run well , plus, it will receive Nokia Belle update on March/later .. ,
Xperia Pro is nice , recommended  too  thumbup.gif

with your usage , Xperia Pro should have no problem..
*
thanks for the input.

Btw , should qwerty not be a requirement , what whould u suggest ?

big screen , with radio , ebook,good for playing videos and also a good browser . occasioanal play some games as well

budget same at around 1.3k to 1.4k.

???

-HTC Sensation(got a lot of manufacturing defects at 1 time, now dunno still got or not rclxub.gif u better check in their official thread)

-Motorola Atrix(no news on ICS update, some people say it looks unlikely for it to have the update)

-LG Optimus 2X(laggy on stock ROM, custom ROM ok)

-Samsung google nexus S(single core but based on your needs, I dun think u need a dual core either)

I dun think the 'wow' effect of the 3D will last either, unless u wanna 'wow' your friends brows.gif
So think twice before u buy..

i thought bout google nexus , but got no radio .

just curious , what kind of usage requires dual core ?

I thought u can always download an app for radio? rclxub.gif someone correct me if im wrong.

The main use of dual core is for gaming I think, maybe for faster browsing speed/less overall lags too. Im also curious hmm.gif
*
the apps for radio need to use data plan/ internet to listen . the built in radio function will function like a normal radio

there are so many differences among them..

1. What OS that you prefer ? Android or WP 7.5 ??

if WP 7.5 , straightaway go for Lumia 710 , if Android , you need to choose among Sony Xperia Sola, U and HTC One V...
*
you are rite. what are the pro and cons of wp7 and android ?

on another note , if i want android , what are the pro and cons of the 3 phone ?

pros for wp7 :
smooth OS, user friendly

cons for wp7 :
less app

pros for android :
a lot apps, a lot custom ROM

cons for android :
not every phone can update to latest stock rom

for the 3phone kae7 recommend to you, xola is best in overall spec
but if you want front camera, the xperia U
*

actually , what is the purpose of using front camera ?

my reluctance for xperia u is the limited memory , plus no micro sd slot.

your thoughts ?

that is limitation of some Android phone..
well, seems that you choose Android OS ,  wink.gif ,

Its not that i think wp7 is bad , its just i feel it needs abit more time to develop. There a few issues which would be nice if microsoft would address them.

Im more into buying the phone for long term , so at the moment , android seems like a better choice compared to WP7
