laugh.gif Those except viber sounds like what my old nokia can do, excluding the gaming part too laugh.gif laugh.gif
If budget 1k, you can choose from Galaxy W, HTC One V, Huawei Honor, and quite a few models from Sony(those lower end, something like Xperia mini, ray, neo etc etc). All these with with 8255/8255T Snapdragon chipset with Adreno 205, should be capable of doing what you asked for, all of them. All got wifi, got 3G (take note at front camera, some doesn't have it) etc etc. Viber, whatsapp can be supported by nearly all android devices, even in those with 600MHz proc speed. Battery might be a concern for you since you said you're going to use data. Based on technical spec, honor has the largest battery 1930mAH (+largest screen, 4" +highest resolution camera 8megapixel) but you better do research first, it comes down to whether you like the brand and how those parts perform. Go google la~ see how the screen and camera compare to those on other listed models biggrin.gif

Just my opinion:
If you're not the type that will mess with you phone and know how to mess with your phone to make it run better, get HTC (considering just HTC and Samsung). HTC seems to provide better experience, smoother etc etc on stock, untouched while samsung tends to lag quite a bit(my samsung, not other samsung laugh.gif ) but if you know how to fiddle with samsung, it can gives better experience, smooth enough. It's like iPhone and Android. If you like just the way you can use an iphone, get iphone. If you want to customise the phone to suits you, get android. Simple enough? laugh.gif laugh.gif

Edit: Oh... and HTC should take more bumps than equivalent samsung did. Not saying that samsung built is bad but htc got quite some models dressed in unibody (aluminium/metal/poly/etc etc) which should be more durable than samsung. Seriously, i don't mean samsung is bad seeing how and S2 can sustain from a drop of shoulder height (the video they compared against ip4) rolleyes.gif

What the... at that price that unit better have some defects or damage because it's totally not worth it to sell it off at that price. Even the SGA which is over a year old still can fetch about RM400-500.

Afaik, SGS2's pricing really depreciated alot after the release of the Note and GNex. The SGS2 i9100G's pricing would dip faster than the regular i9100 too iinm. hmm.gif

No matter G or non-G, still quite capable. Just wait for the update to ICS to unleash the power biggrin.gif The G version has about same spec as GNex, seeing how GNex can do with the 720p screen, I believe SGS2 can do more with the 800*480 screen laugh.gif

*However, I still don't like the Green/Blue tint on SGS2/Nexus S, the AMOLED Tinting? Something like that. Haven't got a chance to have a close loop on GNex whether it has such problem or not*

Edit: Oops... It's TIOMAP4460 vs 4430. Former designed to run stable at 1.5, uced to 1.2 on GNex while 4430 designed for 1.2GHz, higher clocked GPU on 4460 too (384 vs 304). That makes the difference hmm.gif
Reading data from ti website says one can handle 1080p stereoscopic while the other 720p
One can handle 5MP Stereo camera(3D), the other one got 12MP laugh.gif

For me, I'm still more partial to Exynos than the TI chipset. Mainly because I'm a sucker for pure performance so why settle for less? biggrin.gif

Check the firmware, if there's an update, just update it.
Settings->About phone->Software Update
The DXLC build is quite a lot more stable than previous build. The value pack build should be coming soon. Heard to be even more stable drool.gif

Papago which version? X5? I only used X5, seriously it just takes forever to lock. Not sure why. I normally give the gps lock using GPS status first before I open up X5 or SYGIC. If it's X5, take note that the voice won't work on W. The too-old-software not supported fully by the newer W. Not sure what causes the problem though. I tried papago M9, the chinese version. Not fully compatible. The screen must be in portrait instead of landscape. Need to set in the option to keep it in portrait mode.
