If MUST REAL official retail store, other than galaxy W would be SE neo V. But not sure its RAM how much 2. Budget - 800 - 900 3. Specs. >1Ghz Proc, RAM > 300mb, >3.2megapixel camera Had been thinking of Galaxy W but the demand is so great that the price is not moving at all == |

QUOTE(wcypierre @ Jan 10 2012, 04:35 PM) The neo V is just a suggestion just in case u like its design or so. Galaxy W is more recommended than neo V.I recommend nexus S because it is a google phone and has... -better future support than most droids -stock vanilla UI = smooth -loads of custom ROMS to play with -better GPU than galaxy W although galaxy W is faster by 400mhz, but the GPU matters more than the 400mhz -16gb internal memory but no card slot though -bigger screen with gorilla glass This post has been edited by danielcmugen: Jan 10 2012, 04:41 PM |

QUOTE(kalandra @ Jan 11 2012, 09:39 PM) I keep reading about the next generation of smartphones coming, when is it expected to come (rough estimatation is ok), and how much the current model prices are expected to drop? Those announced during CES maybe will come around feb-april, those from MWC maybe april-july. If the next generation already quad-core, then dual-cores I think will drop until 1.6k and below depending on model...not that sure |

QUOTE(aristotletan @ Jan 14 2012, 07:49 AM) Galaxy Y, Xperia Mini , Xperia Mini Pro, and Galaxy Ace Xperia mini pro. 320x480 res shouldn't be a problem, dun worry Which is better, in term of price? I scare if I getting a 3" inch screen, is it hard to for typing message or social network , so is it getting a Xperia Mini Pro is a good idea since it got QWERTY keyboard + front camera, and cheaper than Ace, is it? Anyone got other better recommendation within budget RM700, no CSL or china brand (Huawei etc)? BTW, 480x320 res, is it enough to running 75% of android market apps, beside games? I need a student and I need to use it as dictionary apps, sometimes social , or play some dumb games like Moron test Added on January 14, 2012, 11:20 am QUOTE(ben3003 @ Jan 14 2012, 08:36 AM) Currently using Nexus S with 4.0 ICS. Fell in love with ICS interface.. now i a choosing over galaxy nexus and galaxy note. Galaxy nexus is nice with the higher ppi and has a notification LED, which is a Godsend. But galaxy note is more powerful and has a big screen, can take note, write, same like a notepad.. Up to u actually, the note I think will also get ICS This post has been edited by danielcmugen: Jan 14 2012, 11:20 AM |

QUOTE(soapmac @ Jan 14 2012, 02:26 PM) 1. Brand: i prefer Sony Ericsson but please feel free to suggest other brands. SE xperia mini pro/xperia mini (not x10 mini/x10 mini pro). But not sure about the pdf reader and hd video recording(can check out the spec sheet)2. Budget: rm700 max. 3. Specs: no lagging or not responding stuff. camera that can capture nice video. hd perhaps. screen size can be any. 4. What you need in the phone: pdf reader. angry birds. basically usual stuffs that an android must be able to install. i think ive asked before but i cant find my reply anywhere around the thread. maybe its due to the connection problem at that time. anyway, if its being removed or ignored i am very sorry. i just want to spend rm700 nicely. |

It was coincidence i have sum $ to "play" another phone set. kiddingx3 I just use it for vids, listen songs & surf d net. I guess everyone who own a big screen phone will feel that "not so gud feeling" when switchin to a smaller screen set. I want a bigger screen. That's my only requirement. Between the samsung S+ and W, which is a better? I baca d comparison in GSMarena, the S+ is better in term of the - display (S+ had super amoled) - bigger screen - larger internal H/Disk Anyone own this two phone before? Mind to give ur feedbacks?

Specs. 1Ghz processor (Single core would do), 512 mb RAM, minimum of 1gb internal storage, 5mp camera. 4. What you need in the phone 1) Durable, solid build 2) Custom roms that are fast and beautiful available (Eg: CM7/Miui) 3) Preferably ori sets 4) Easy to root/flash (No locked bootloaders) 5) Has large community 6) Decent gaming capabilities. 7) Smooth web browsing I asked here before on what phone should I get, and I was reccomended with Sony and stuffs, but never bought one yet. Right now it's been like 3 months + already. So I was thinking what other options do I have? And if there are better options for more than 1k, I can stretch my budget by maybe an extra 100-200, but that's about it. This post has been edited by danielcmugen: Jan 22 2012, 05:36 PM |

QUOTE(rikajue91 @ Jan 22 2012, 08:56 PM) Hi, I'm noob in this phone thing. Currently using Nokia Classic 2210, I think Actually for your usage u dun really need a dual-core phone, why not save some $ and get mid-ranged ones? The desire S should be enough, incredible S or rhyme also ok. Desire HD got big screen but bad battery life 1. Brand: Looking at HTC. One & only. 2. Budget: RM 750- RM1700 (Depends maybe after I buy other stuffs.) 3. Specs: Don't really know anything about the specs. 4. What you need in the phone: WiFi, Internet surfing capabilities, apps lock if possible. some task manager like stickynotes, calendar reminders etc..... My first phone Motorola L6 had a lock for apps which was really handy. Would love that lock again for Contacts and SMS. Thanks in advance! |

QUOTE(xxboxx @ Jan 22 2012, 07:51 PM) is it? mistaken identity then. Why not go for motorola atrix? Only worry is the ICS update as it looks like only the atrix 2 will be getting it. Unless u flash ICS custom ROM on atrix my budget initially is 1.2k, but then saw most place no more stock for Sensation, so maybe upped 200 to get Evo 3D or Optimus 3D.

But I heard that the 3D effect of the optimus 3D is better than the 1 in the evo. True about the updates of LG Sensation seems either out of stock or sold more expensive than Evo 3D. from what i observe, LG seems to be very bad at updating it's software quick enough, or will it even get an update..
