What i meant by upgradable is like what you said, the ability to install newer OS versions.

Ok, seems like a good bet, this Huawei Honor, where can i get it? Im in Damansara. Honestly, i have never heard of huawei before. But since you guys are recommending it, i'll give it a shot.
*
Sensation XE also probably will get it. Actually even if dun have official 1, u still can flash an ICS custom ROM or so. Unofficially, u got the update icon_rolleyes.gif

Huawei is actually a reputable china brand, not those ciplak copy cat type. I think x132755 got sell, or u can go to digital mall section 14 and ask

What could I get with 600-800 budget? Still new to android and I want to try out Android and might write some apps for it because I'm a developer as well. Any nice phone to start out with?

Nesus S is definitely the best choice biggrin.gif you can probably buy it second hand or top-up a bit more. It's dubbed as a developer phone.

Brand: up for recommendation
Budget: 1.5 - 1.8k
Usage: music, surfing, media, calls, maybe work, are all android os customizable?

Am also wondering, i dont see the moto droid razr being mentioned often. Is it not good?

Am really looking to buy asap since my bold 3 KO d.

Oh, not s2 since two of my family members r using it already
Edit: doesnot need to be within my budget range. Can b cheaper. Just want something that is upgradable, durable n fun. Im sick of my colleagues asking me to get iphone. Yes, im the odd one without an iphone at work. Haha
*
should be razr, not droid razr, droid razr is for other country, not us
is not not good, is due to s2 too popular
or you can consider htc sensation xe

i tried looking ard for HTC sensation but cant find, only got sensation xl and xe. both are over budget.
however when going through mudah.com i found an advertising for ori SIS HTC EVO 3D. priced at RM1379.
Thats like 200 bucks cheaper than other ori phones out there.

http://www.mudah.my/HTC+X515m+Evo+3D+SET+B...IS-13451363.htm

does the advertisement sound credible to you??

I know but I read somewhere that Nexus is easy to handle those upgrade since it is Google phone. I newb dunno much about that so afraid got stuck in the future when want to upgrade.

How much is the price for Honor? I can't find it at Garage Sale. Spec almost same with Nexus with better reso and processor. But review said the display is poor tho.

Around 1k, I think x132755 got sell. The main prob for nexus S now is that it's very hard to find new set

Both the Transformers and the Galaxy Tab are decent choices, with good overall performance.

If you don't need the additions of the Transformer, the Tab is a good choice.

The Nexus S suits most of your needs, only issue is getting a new, good unit nowadays.

Galaxy W is good too, but there's no custom ROMs for it at the moment (only mods of the stock ROM).

There's also the Xperia Neo (Rm8xx) and Xperia Arc (RM10xx), both with good cameras (the Arc has a nice screen too). Only issue is its small internal memory, which if you are willing to mess around with android (APP2SD, APP2EXT etc) the problem can be offset.

Thanks for all the tips, guys.

I'll be settling for the huawei honor. Since the ideas of custom roms and having a decent phone for a cheap price are great.
