need input - my android got bricked (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 , 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?

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

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

xperia neo
but suggest you top up and get huawei honor

galaxy w
else top up get huawei honor (recommend)
or wait for galaxy ace 2

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?

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?

That 1 is not official price la , 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.

Added on March 12, 2012, 9:51 pmAce2 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.

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

Can't find Android tablet recommendation thread, so tumpang-ing here. Can anyone recommend a tablet with following specifications:

*7in screen
*capacitive
*price - less than RM 600.

Mainly to use for reading ebooks & comics, & watching the occasional .avi tv episode.

ok thanks, just checked out the xperia mini, it looks good . i'm just basing my dislike of SE from my old phones, the charger would get fiddly and hard to charge, and it seemed like cepat rosak. is that still an issue or has SE improved on that?

ace 2 when official release I no idea
if budget drop to rm500, samsung galaxy y then

I know I replied this post edi and sorry for quoting your post again , 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

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

no problem, thanks for offering to help me figure things out my brother is using a wildfire if im not mistaken.

samsung phone is crappy, I cannot play most of games..

what phone are you using? you can't expect a budget phone to run hd games

+1

u are probably having a ap charger .

Ori charger are seperated with usb cable now and hard to spoil .

No wonder, that 1 the processor very slow. 528mhz

Ya, old SE using proprietary huge connector (the one use for headphone and charger) is not lasting.
Imagine u need to press down to unplug, the wear and tear cause contact problem for one of my friend's old SE.
She then switched to SE Xperia mini and no regret.
New SE are using micro-usb which seems more lasting.
