Need some professional advices...

Going to wait for One X but my 'antique' HTC touch HD seems strange recently.

Battery drain very fast. Calls always interrupted....bla bla bla

Need a new/2nd hand phone with budget less than 800 n most importantly if could have a better resell value perhaps? Just a temporary while waiting for One X  icon_rolleyes.gif

Thx
*
iPhone 3GS 2nd hand? Brilliant resale value. But since this is android section, I assume u want android? HTC got pretty good resale value if I'm not mistaken, perhaps look for a used HTC desire S?

budget around rm500-700

I was thinking of going cheap and buy an SE X8.

But people recommend me samsung too.

SE Xperia mini Pro looks good, with front camera, keypad but the screen abit small. and pricey too

What do you guys recommend? Im more to sms+call, with some gaming for fun.
*
SE xperia mini pro is quite worth the price actually, can go for it. Another alternative is SE live with walkman. These 2 confirm beat X8 kaw kaw!

Currently considering these 2 phone...

Motorola Defy Rm699 [is it a good buy?]
Samsung W Rm999

Mainly like to use for reading pdf file,skyp/viber/whatsapp and looking for easy to operate & acceptable quality camera features.
*
Go survey around the price of defy 1st, I believe that's a good price but go survey 1st. 1 prob for defy is the screen problem if u drop it.

For your usage, got many phones u can choose from. SE xperia neo / neo V, HTC desire S, huawei ideos x5 / honor and the 2 u mentioned.

Hello..
Will appreciate any feeback- this will be my 1st smartphone and i am completely clueless as to details

1. Brand. (Samsung - but open to others too; ALL previous phones hv been a nokia but want an Android phone now)

2. Budget. (1k)

3. Specs. (a decent & reasonable screen size)

4. What you need in the phone (the only stuff i intend to use is to use some social networking and games apps and listen to music)

After doing some research/asking around- leaning towards Galaxy W. But someone also suggested huw wei honor too.

Also, are thr expected releases coming within the next 2 months that i am better off waiting.

all help appreciated. thanx!
*
U can wait for Sony xperia U.
Also just to let u know that galaxy W will not get ICS update while its mid-range competitors from HTC and SE will get, huawei honor will also get it.

Pls state your usage, both got pros and cons. Arc mainly got better cam, evo got faster processor + 3D effect but pricier.

need input - my android got bricked  sweat.gif (it was an old samsung i5500) and i wanna get a new one.

1. Brand: prefer Samsung not really a fan of sony ericsson and htc seems laggy (my bro has one but maybe the new models are better?)

2. Budget. rm 800 and below

3. Specs. anything better than my old phone, good processor so it wont lag, good internal memory, android2.3 and above + upgradeable, screen size min 3" with good ppi

4. What you need in the phone: candybar and sturdy and nice looking ahaha tongue.gif  , decent battery life for all day data usage

i was looking at the galaxy mini2 which looks great but have no idea when its gonna be released. next best thing?

any suggestions?  rclxub.gif

Wait for Samsung galaxy ace plus, better than mini 2 and will likely fit your budget. smile.gif

ace plus is overpriced, RM960. galaxy w is the best choice but still need to topup or wait for ace 2.

That 1 is not official price la sweat.gif , AP set somemore. Wait for Samsung's official price 1st la, I think its RRP would be 799(max also 899 I guess) and then ace stop production.

i think i agree, would probably like the ace2 better but do you have any idea when it might come out in malaysia?
hmm when would the ace2 come out tho? really need to get a phone soon. also the honor looks good but i guess i shouldve added that i have tiny hands! 'fraid a 4" screen might be too big

on a completely different note, what if my budget was sliced to around rm500, what is the best android out there around that price range?
*
Ace2 should come out somewhere between Apr-Jun, but I think gonna be out of your budget. Maybe can try and eye the galaxy W 1st, if can't I think ace plus is your only choice for Samsung.

For RM500, SE xperia mini AP set is your best bet but u dun want SE right? Next would be Samsung galaxy Y if u dun mind its 2mp camera.

Thanx...! what's d diff between neo n neo v? besides d camera?

n review on utube said its battery life is below average...is it true?

any idea the price range for upcoming galaxy ace 2?
*
Nothing else. Bout the batt life, I think it should be alright. For further confirmation, can check/ask in its official thread --> http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2185722

Pricing for ace 2, hmm.gif hard to say. If they wanna compete well then I'm guessing RRP 1099, depends on Sony xperia U's price also.

I know I replied this post edi and sorry for quoting your post again sweat.gif , just now I forgot to ask u wat HTC model your bro is using? Maybe I can help to identify wat's the cause of it rather than concluding all HTC's are laggy smile.gif

Regarding your last post on SE, I'm not sure on that...sorry

hi guys. recently im interested in buying a 2nd hand HTC T-mobile G2 from a forumer here. so i did some research for this phone and found out there aren't many T-mobile G2 with ori set? they all selling AP set is it?

anyone with any experience with this phone? even if AP set also, still good aa?
not worried about warranty (because dun have already) but the phone itself. last time bought an SE AP set i think. rosak like dunno wat..

also, what if juz buy first and flash 2.3.5? will that solve any software problems?
*
Why not just get a HTC desire Z? It's the same phone but got ori set.

The 2 u mentioned is the best within your budget smile.gif . If the screen is too small, can top up a bit for a huawei ideos x5.

guys. huawei sonic good phone aa?

want to get for my dad only.. budget all okay already, juz afraid if this phone got so many probs..

please share with me a bit on battery life, screen easy scratch or not, etc

also, for huawei phones, is there any such thing as AP set? or all come from same warranty?
*
Better get other phones as this phone got very few users here = very few feedbacks. U can check out feedbacks from the world here though --> http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_u8650_sonic-reviews-4205.php , but may differ between countries. So I suggest a 2nd hand huawei ideos X5.

Regarding the AP set thing, sorry I'm not sure. sweat.gif
