okay. thanks. btw, does nexus s fit into my budget? and what is the feature disadvantage that u all know about the phone
*
Nexus S very hard to get and if get also mostly is S-LCD version and not AMOLED. No major disadvantages as far as I know, only the built-in SD card...but not really a problem in my opinion.

Hehe sweat.gif

Actually it's like this, http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_releases_...e-news-3836.php initially I thought this link never mention bout the normal atrix at all....but actually got but towards the end at the latin america and mexico part @_@...cuz I focused on the asia pacific part...lol...sorry again...

In Asia Pacific, The RAZR and the XOOM will receive the update in Q2 and the ATRIX 2 and XOOM 2 in Q3. The DEFY, DEFY+ and the older phones will not be upgraded.

Lastly, in Latin America and Mexico, RAZR and XOOM will be upgraded in Q2, ATRIX 2 and XOOM 2 in Q3 and the the update for ATRIX and MILESTONE 3 is still being planned. Again, no update for the DEFY.

Hi thanks for your kind reply once again.
Why would you say that WP7 phones might suit me?
The Nokia's look good but their specs are average.
The Samsung Omnia W isn't bad though but Im sure it will be over rm1k.

My requirements are;
- Fast web browsing.
- Big screen cause I love to read news and forums on the phone and see ads on iproperty. that's like my only use of it
- 3G
- I dont play games or whatever. i just need it for work. im a property agent.
- maybe I will root it to download free useful apps but not games la

ps. How come in Malaysia unlike Singapore, Australia, Europe and US don't offer cheap phones when we sign up with a 12 or 24 months contract?

Thanks!
*
Actually WP7 suits your requirements well, to be exact the HTC HD7 but sadly over your budget. Why not just pray hard that there will be suitable ones being announced in the upcoming MWC event? There's quite a chance that the rumoured lumia 610 will come with a >3.5" screen, hope that's big enough smile.gif . Maybe got other brands too...

Regarding the specs, that's good enough as WP7 feels smoother than even dual-core androids according to users. I have not experienced it so I have nothing much to say.

On the cheap phone offers, telcos got offer the package thing...but I'm not sure if that's considered cheap or not unsure.gif

Sorry again as this is android section...

in dilemma choosing between sensation xe or xl... sad.gif
wanted to ask if i am a person who will customize phone consistently.
should i choose the better internal spec like XE or still the later version XL?

Just take XE to be safe just in case in the future got some new good stuff that needs high processing power to run, who knows? XE cheaper somemore.

Arc Rm999 ap set

galaxy w and honor almost the same only honor will surely get ICS

Face unlock, open notifications from lockscreen, widgets in app drawer, switch apps by holding Home key, drag n drop folders, majorly refined settings menus, much better launcher, hardware acceleration

The ICS is not just fancy stuff , its the major improvement like from 1.6-2.3

And if the update stop now , the update will stop forever . The honor and xperias will probably receive 2 or 3 more updates .
*
Honor I dun think so la, usually mid-range androids will only get 1 major update. But for the xperias, if the arc / arc S gets it then the rest would follow as well? Not too sure.. hmm.gif

Or maybe you're right? As those 2 brands are trying really hard to improve...

Hi, I am not gonna ask for any direct recommendations, but I wanna ask which brand android UI (HTC sense, Samsung Touchwiz etc) is the best and the worse? No need to mention stock ICS, cause most agree stock android UI are the best. Aka - which brand UI do you guys recommend?

If you guys can rank them for me and explain why they are ranked so, even better. Big thanks to whoever who is willing to help.
*
Depends, HTC sense is heavily customized by HTC...looks great and some improved functionality if I'm not mistaken...but it slows down the phone. Stock vanilla UI is just plain, can't say it's the best...it's just that it's the smoothest of them all.

Others got no major +/- points so can't really rank them up.

depends, better you try both of them
at your budget can't find 1gb ram phone
so LG optimus 2x is your best choice with dual core 1ghz + 8MP + 512mb ram
else SE xperia arc s or huawei honor

Moto atrix got 1gb RAM

Let's say i'll got Motorola Atrix and some reviewers not impressed with motoblur. So, can I changed it to no customize UI such as stock Gingerbread? is it called 'vanilla'?
*
Yes if u flash custom ROM. But if dun flash, u can download new launchers. But that only changes the look of the homescreens, the inside inside not changed.

thanks~ can't find Optimus Black and Optimus Sol today~ tried Neo V, Ray, and Mini and is satisfied with Ray and Mini except for the font size~

i made a mistake; 1st priority is font size, not screen size~ I searched market and found some a few apps able to resize fonts but need root~

have anyone tried rooting and applying larger fonts?~ ICS has widget resizing... so if big fonts is achievable through rooting, either Ray, Mini, or possibly Optimus Black will be my choices~

good to see good phones in low budget section, especially Xperia Mini~ the contrast and resolution are great (not to the extent of an IPS panel of the Optimus Black, I suspect, and loses out to any AMOLED)~

p.s.: i heard from the shop owners that Samsung no longer offers 2y warranty and used to be 1y for hardware + 1y software warranty~ also, only certain SE models are also offering only 2y warranty!~
*
Actually there's an app that doesn't require rooting called fontomizer. It changes the font in the homescreens and settings there. Is this wat u want? If inside the browser/sms/apps all those not changed.
