My budget rm 900 - rm 1000.

Which is the best among NEO V/Galaxy W/Defy Plus/One V?

Defy plus is water resistant/dust proof and with gorilla glass.

One V the most expensive. But no flash player?

Thanks for your input but that is RM1k.
My budget is RM700 max.
If RM1k, I rather get the Maxis Galaxy S2 plan.

If u dont mind about the brand. What not opt for hua wei vision? Check here: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2074047&hl=

Galaxy W@rm 599.90 with DG smartplan rm 48 - 24 months contract.

My mom ask me whether Samsung Galaxy Y is good or not... She want it for herself...

She's not tech savvy, and I know she won't fully utilize a smartphone's features.

But, I just hope with that budget, what kind of phone you guys would recommend over Galaxy Y

Her usage: phone call, SMS, take photo, and I think she will facebook a lot

thanks a bunch

Get SE xperia mini. Price about the same. aaron ac selling sme set for rm 499(check at garage sales).

Why MINI over galaxy y?

Mini has LED-backlit LCD, capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors while Galaxy Y has only .TFT capacitive touchscreen, 256K colors.

Screen size the same but resolution wise Mini is better. 192 PPI for mini while 133 PPI for Galaxy Y.

Mini has bigger storage and more ram.

Mini has a better camera(5MP over Galaxy Y's 2MP).

Mini has adobe flash player while Y doesnt have.

Mini = 1GHZ single core while Galaxy Y = 832 Mhz single core.

RRP for Galaxy Y = rm 499 probably u can get around rm 440 - rm 450 from garage sales. Mini cheapest from aaronac at rm 499 others selling rm 5xx. But mini beats Y in every single aspect.

Comparison:http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4117&idPhone2=3947

I have a question tho. Why SII drop so much in a short time while other models not? Galaxy ace should be dropping as well right since ace plus is out and ace 2 is coming soon?

Have a question. What's the benefit of having a quad core phone over dual core phone? What applications need quad-core phones?

What about single core vs dual core?

live with walkman isnt Rm690 . Rm690 is include with 8gb card + walkman headset
Front cam , bigger screen , dual speaker , walkman button .

WT19 [ Lite Pack ] [ 5.0MP | 512MB RAM | 1.0GHz ] - RM 605 ORI [2GB] | 630 ORI [8GB]
ST15 Xperia Mini ORI [ 3.0' | 5.0MP | 1GHZ ] - RM 460 [2GB] | 485 [8GB]

fine for me to have those upgrade with RM 145

mini is fine also but i would like to have face unlock with front cam when both of them receive ICS update  cheers.gif  cheers.gif  cheers.gif

Sorry but to ask. What's the use of front cam(only VGA) since there's a rear camera with 5 megapixels.

The screen only bigger 0.2 inches wor? Resolution wise still the same.

Dual speaker probably worth it?

Sony Xperia U will be the best under rm 900 budget when it is officially released in malaysia right?

The RRP is rm 899. It's a dual core phone and there's usb on the spot support?
