Hello there guys, this is my 1st time posting here, sorry to just barge in like this, but as for now, I would be very glad if anyone here can give tips and what to look for if I were to find a new handphone. My LG Shine is old and battered already :/

1. Brand.
Anything will do, but if possible not Samsung (just a preference)

2. Budget.
< MYR 1,500

3. Specs.
Customizable (in terms of interface and yadda yadda yadda)
Nice camera
Free GPS
Awesome WiFi connection
No lagging
etc

4. Type/Size. (Candybar, Clamshell etc...)
Smaller would be better, and if possible I am also going for looks. I always prefer an angular looks rather than a circular ones. Much edgy IMO laugh.gif

Ah I see. If given the chance between these two I would probably go for Lumia 800 since I don't really need bigger screen and front camera

As for now, still finding which one would suits me best. Thank you for all the suggestion guys smile.gif

I thought earlier u said u want to customize the interface all that? blink.gif WP7 can't wor.
Hmm...smaller ones are harder to get now in your budget except for lumia 800 and N8.

Can consider Motorola RAZR, Sony xperia P and Huawei ascend P1(coming soon) as well. All square square! The ascend P1 is the slimmest Android yo! Very sexy!

said like this
s3 just release, so s2 = old model

*don't say lumia 800 and 900, both of the release less than half year
while s2 is last year June release in Malaysia, while s3 release in 31st May = around 1 year

Sony xperia U, Huawei honor or HTC desire S. Xperia U got the best spec but no card slot, honor got the biggest screen and desire S got 2 years warranty(if registered within 1 week of purchase) so it'll be good for your long term use.

I read alot book on my hp . Until now , i have afew criteria when choosing it .

- big screen
- decent battery
- nice shape
- light weight

IF front cam does matter , can consider Motorola ATRIX 4 inch screen wit front cam dual core about Rm1000
although heavy abit but overall quite decent . NO radio tho .

Recommend xperia Arc next. Although single core , it do basic stuff without lag .
Have radio , battery last 8hour plus with screen on all the time , looks square when look from front .
NO front cam . Not sure if you really want it as you don use skype etc unsure.gif unsure.gif unsure.gif


Next choice is xperia pro / neo both have front cam and pro have qwerty keyboard for easy messaging .

1. Brand: Can't decide over Sony or Samsung
2. Budget: Depends on telco
3. Specs: Android ICS, solid hardware, fast processor, long battery life, cool interface
4. Type/Size. (Candybar, Clamshell etc...) Touchscreen

I've used BlackBerry and iPhone but I've never owned an Android smartphone before. The ICS looks attractive and cool and that's why I'm considering getting my first Android.

I don't even own an Android tablet so this would be perfect to add to my collection.

I've considered Samsung Galaxy Note, Sony Xperia Acro S and also Samsung Galaxy SIII

I've heard some rumours that the SIII is rather flimsy but then again my 2-year-old iPhone 4 (which I dropped on roads from my car accidentally without a screen protector or case) is pretty sturdy but I do get the occasional scratch at the edge.

So far, the Note is very promising but the Sony Xperia Acro S looks even more promising.

I'm also tempted to wait for the next iPhone but it also depends whether Sony and Samsung can live up to my high expectations.

I've compared specs and pricing between the ones released already but still cannot decide. I won't get a tablet because I don't have a need for it.

Cheers.

1. Brand: Can't decide over Sony or Samsung
2. Budget: Depends on telco
3. Specs: Android ICS, solid hardware, fast processor, long battery life, cool interface
4. Type/Size. (Candybar, Clamshell etc...) Touchscreen

I've used BlackBerry and iPhone but I've never owned an Android smartphone before. The ICS looks attractive and cool and that's why I'm considering getting my first Android.

well acro s haven't in market, so out of your choice
suggest you go shop play them 1st, either note or s3 also okay
depends you want NFC, quad core and other feature or not, if yes then s3, else note
do note that s3 also can like note got its pen, but need buy separately, call c-pen

Since you've used iphone, I suggest u to get a quad core Android to maintain similar smoothness of the iphone.
Either S3 or HTC one X. icon_rolleyes.gif

my budget is rm1500,


Currently looking at the S2, bold 4 9900 ap, or lumia 800. Not much of a mobile gamer, I want something that has a strong battery life and able to read pdfs and words quite well. I don't mind small fonts, just something legible. Good internet browsing should also be a factor. Thanks for the recommendations!

Currently on GNote (maxis-main line). But due to going for BTN Camp for a week and the only coverage at that camp is Celcom. Just bought prepaid Celcom. Therefore need a cheap dual sim phone for use. GNote will be kept at home. Sayang maaaa....

Currently looking at Nokia Asha 200... any other options?

1. Brand : Any i guess
2. Budget : <RM500
3. Specs : Decent camera
4. Type/Size. : Candybar

For older generation so large buttons would be a plus. Familiar with iPad usage so wont be too scared of a touch screen. Was looking at the Nokia Ashe 300 but that had fixed focus camera. Any other options?

Hello,

Is this the right forum to ask question regarding Bluetooth headset (1 Ear)?

I am looking for Bluetooth headset with feature: Caller Name Announce. I had google and only manage to find BlueAnt had this feature with their Bluetooth Headset (1-ear). Is there other?

Samsung galaxy nexus or S advance. If u dun mind lower specs but 2 yrs warranty(if registered within 1 week of purchase), can consider HTC one V / incredible S / desire HD / desire S. Desire HD got bad batt life but u can always bring spare batt or powerbank and all that.

i m so in love with lumia phones and decided to get one for myself. luckily the announcement for windows 8 came right before i buy it. Now I really don't know which phone to get sad.gif

any suggestions will be appreciated.

Brand : any
budget : below 1k
Prefer : ori
Comments : i dun really use the phone much other than for basic communications such as making calls, texting, occasionally check email. Most importantly, I want a phone that will be smooth, i.e. no lagging, auto shutdown problems, overheating , etc...

btw, i m looking for a touchscreen smartphone. Am considering samsung galaxy series.

lumia 710 is ok lar  hmm.gif  hmm.gif  got value pack wp7.8 for the price its ok

you say you use basic function only then its not much difference for you  whistling.gif  whistling.gif

if lumia 800 900 thousand phone then not worth it .

really? I don't know much about mobile phones development. It is because I need to buy a new phone then only i go do research on the internet. I am still keen to get lumia 710 if the price is right.

Actually, I also wanna find out, since windows 8 and windows 7.5 is totally different, what difference will windows 7.8 make?

i m so in love with lumia phones and decided to get one for myself. luckily the announcement for windows 8 came right before i buy it. Now I really don't know which phone to get sad.gif

any suggestions will be appreciated.

Brand : any
budget : below 1k
Prefer : ori
Comments : i dun really use the phone much other than for basic communications such as making calls, texting, occasionally check email. Most importantly, I want a phone that will be smooth, i.e. no lagging, auto shutdown problems, overheating , etc...

btw, i m looking for a touchscreen smartphone. Am considering samsung galaxy series.

Oh, sola got no front cam ya. S advance the best, atrix not far away.

If u want better camera but slower processor, consider SE xperia arc / arc S / neo(only got AP set) / ray / pro.

If u want longer warranty but slower processor(same as the SE's above), consider HTC desire S. 2 years warranty if registered within 1 week of purchase.

I'm using iPhone 3G & looking to change phone

I'm thinking of either Galaxy S III or iPhone 4S or wait for iPhone 5

But since I have purchased apps from app store for my productivity such as GoodReader, DocToGo, Quickoffice etc, I'm thinking of sticking back with iPhone.

But S III sounds promising & in view of the new iPhone 5 that will be released in Sept, what do u guys think?

Those apps total worth how much? If not much can give Android a try, can also consider HTC one X. Cheaper than S3. cool2.gif

For camera, definately pureview the best. But Symbian is also another no future OS. Maybe try Sony xperia P, never heard of screen prob on it before. For xperia S, I heard that it onlu occurs on earlier batches...not sure.

There is one at kucing.
At most drop 100-200 well all phone will drop slowly.
Garage sales got below 1700
No lag at least for me.
Try at shop to decide, sometime lag or not is depend on personal tolerance.
The good thing about this phonetip it come with full accessories. You won't need to buy extra accessories other than case.

Car charger , hdmi , nfc tag and expensive earphone whistling.gif whistling.gif and also a backup screen protector ( one already applied )

Lumia 900 just doomed by microsoft after one week launch

well .......... whistling.gif whistling.gif

touch screen never got problem
camera is great with plenty of detail . Won comment vs lumia 900 as there isnt any sample side by side yawn.gif
lagging ? hmm.gif hmm.gif I have sgII and s both in ICS and sgII lag more . The XS ICS never lag no matter scrolling throught homescreen or using browser . Whats exactly you mean with lag ?
For battry hmm.gif hmm.gif now all smartphone can last only a day with constant use . XS not lower than that.... whats the problem ?


p/s : If really have bad though of it better don buy . Getting a phone that you have positive though before buying is important also for stratification .

Ya, sony is still good in any weather. Just that daylight it seems that carl zeiss lens does slightly better, not confirmed though.

Overall still xperia S camera better than lumia, as the night shot advantage is obvious with the exmor R. Most phones can already perform ok in daylight anyway.

Exmor is the best before it meets 808 pureview. Now this phone pawn in low light and also in day light. Sorry correction it makes any compeititon in mobile phone camera a joke.

If want above average camera performance go for Lumia 900
If you want fludity go for Lumia 900.

Am switching to a smartphone pretty soon, so yeah, just looking for a decent yet affordable model.

1. Brand.
- No specific preferences actually.

2. Budget.
- Below RM1.1k?

3. Specs.
- Access to as many settings/customizations as possible; definitely not the Apple type.
- Preferably a good camera, and a decent processor.

4. Type/Size.
- No idea.

I have my eyes on a Galaxy W (RM900) or a Galaxy Advance (RM1000), but am unsure which to choose / whether there're other better models out there, for the cash I'm paying.

Neways one more question - do mobile programs (apps) all usually support multithreading? As in, is there an absolute advantage in a phone with 1.0GHz dual-core over a phone with a 1.4GHz single-core processor?

Thanks so much guys smile.gif.

Your best choices are....

-S advance (no news on ICS)
-Motorola atrix (no news on ICS)
-Sony xperia sola (no front camera and poor batt life)
-Sony xperia U (no card slot)

The advantage of dual-core proc can be noticed when performing heavy tasks.

Yup, better (unless u mean non-smartphones). Reliability is ok, maybe slightly not as good as Nokia.

Really? But I find the price a bit cheaper from garage sales by RM10~RM20. I'm not looking for smart phones. Just a cheap-cheap phone with mp3 player and fm radio. So far lazada is the lowest with free shipping for Nokia X01-01. Any other recommendation model?

There is a noob question here..
how far is the difference in performance between xperia p and samsung galaxy s3?
i not a heavy user.. emphasize more on camera performance and battery life... and some games.
i like both the phone but price differ so much..
i may can afford for samsung galaxy s3, but i m wondering if i need it or not...

for batter life is depends how you use
furthermore, that quite big difference between s3 and xperia p since xperia p using dual core while s3 using quad core
actually dual core is more than enough, but get quad core device can last longer
for camera performance, both of them also okay
game ? i think s3 is better

Thank you all for your suggestions.

But all the phone choices seems mediocre at best. I also noticed you guys didn't recommend the HTC One V, which was being sold at RM999, the last time i was in LY plaza.
I read some where that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is pretty cheap. I might be wrong though.

How much high in price should i go to get a mid range quality phone?

Hmm.. I didn't know I am facing same problem as many here.

Google Nexus vs Galaxy S2. Don't really care about the camera quality as long as it's a decent one or same quality as the iphone4

I am getting one of these to replace my aging iphone4 until the next gen of iphone arrives.

You guys are lucky. It's selling about RM1400 in Sabah.

I have a budget of approx. RM1200. What else do you guys recommend?

You guys are lucky. It's selling about RM1400 in Sabah.

I have a budget of approx. RM1200. What else do you guys recommend?

Haha but even if I trust our fellow forumers, the courier services here really doh.gif

I probably ask my sister help me to get it on her trip to KL.

So where's the best place to get handphones now? Digital Mall ok or not the price?

I don't mind paying a little extra for good service.

hi guys. wanna buy my first smart phone. have never gotten myself into the world of smartphones so hopefully you guys could give me a good suggestion or two.

1. Brand.
doesn't matter, as long as it's one of those latest ones and has a good and large community and widely supported and lots of apps

2. Budget.
more or less rm2000

3. Specs.
i would like it to have a good camera and easy UI and i'm gonna use it a lot for gps, mobile internet browsing, and documents reading

4. Type/Size. (Candybar, Clamshell etc...)
candybar but if other form is nicer and more durable then why not

in my mind is iphone 4s but i'm afraid that it might be replaced soon with newer iphone or other better spec-wise smartphones. and also, is it a wise time to buy a smartphone now?

There is a noob question here..
how far is the difference in performance between xperia p and samsung galaxy s3?
i not a heavy user.. emphasize more on camera performance and battery life... and some games.
i like both the phone but price differ so much..
i may can afford for samsung galaxy s3, but i m wondering if i need it or not...
*
-The performance difference can only be noticed when doing heavy tasks.
-Camera probably Xperia P better since it got exmor R sensor.
-Xperia P got bad batt life, S3 ok.
-Xperia P is enough.
-If batt life is an issue then consider Sony xperia S or SE xperia arc / arc S. icon_rolleyes.gif

Planning to change phone, so need some recommendation. smile.gif

1. Brand - Doesn't matter, as long as it is reliable e.g. - fast update with newest android version (unlike moto, till now then update doh.gif )
2. Budget - RM 1300
3. Specs - Android, screen size of 4.3 or above with high dpi, responsive, smooth interfaces, decent battery life
4. Type - Touchscreen

I've got S2 and Moto Razr before so it will be out of question. tongue.gif
Currently have the white Galaxy Nexus in mind but wanna look out for more options laugh.gif

It keeps dropping from time to time, but the biggest drop is usually before the replacement model comes.
Err....nearest is HTC sensation lor..but by right sensation is same standard as S2.

Thanks very much for the recommendation, I'm not quite fond with WP7, well you know, the lack of apps and limitations to personalizing the phone tho the interfaces are quite nice and the price surely is a catcher. laugh.gif As for sensation, I heard some of my friends using it said that it got laggy from time to time doh.gif

Hello everyone, I need a temporary mobile phone until the next generation iPhone is released. For now, I just need a mobile phone that can surf the internet and use LINE.

1. Brand: Any
2. Budget: As low as possible
3. Specs: Just enough for LINE and web-surfing.
4. Type/Size: Any

Or alternatively, I'm thinking about using my current old Nokia + an iPod Touch. The iPod Touch will be used to surf the web and access LINE, Whatsapp, etc. and the Nokia will be used to make calls. Which is better?

I'm living in Australia btw, if that helps.

Thanks!

seems your nokia + ipod touch is a good solution. Not worth to buy a device and wait for it to depreciate in value.

Ya, I heard about that too. Maybe Jellybean will fix it?

Otherwise u dun really have any other choices. SE xperia arc / arc S is an option but single core. Maybe wait for Huawei ascend P1?

For daily use Ray/one v is enough .
sola have bigger screen and dual core but Ray have much more better cam than both of them .
more stylish and cheaper at the same time .

Last time got, can try and get used set. If compare this with S advance, spec-wise S advance is better but it seems that it's gonna be stuck at gingerbread forever unless unofficial 1. Nexus S already got ICS and jelly bean soon, some more it has a lot of custom ROMs to choose if u are a modder.

For the shock proof that 1....hmm... hmm.gif just googled it and they never mention about that. But I remember they all were meant to be durable. hmm.gif

Technology hard to catch one lar bro.. Just go for it if you need one now...

After you wait for iPhone 5 then rumor of the next great thing e.g. the iPhone 6 / Galaxy Note 2 / Galaxy S5 will release soon, so on and so on..

it is not because of they don't really know how to use iOS , they are also people who already 'master' using the iOS but later change to other OS.

A statement doesnt auto become a fact unless everyone agree to it .
Obviously many of us here doesnt agree with ur statement .

Personally i don think iphone is "best" , "the one" as you stated in ur "statement" .
Its good at somewhere and have its bad also . Same goes to other smartphone out there .

Its nothing wrong you suggest the thing you prefer , but just dont say like other device is worthless .
And do not mislead other with ur "opinion" is "turth and fact" . Its not , its just simply your "opinion" .

I not mean other device is worthless but really cant deny iOS really smooth and less bugs compare to Android.
One thing which I care the most for Android device is their apps auto run in background and that really use alot of Ram, if you use auto apps killer that will also take space..

Hahaha why u wanna use china iPh0ne? That's why la. Sifu u know how many phones I have? Sifu u only own an iPh0ne china and u feel you know the world. I have so many phones even with your 10 fingers also not enough to count. That's how bored iPhone is. Maybe u using iPh0ne china u don't see this but do you know the UI from the first REAL iPhone to iPhone 4S the UI look exactly the same. Then the REAL iPod and iPad also look the same.

Sifu try use other phones and you will feel different. Btw sifu do you know refurbish means? Since u use china iPh0ne maybe u dunno. It means the phone still works like the real one. Only your china iPh0ne look alike like the real deal but totally nothing like the real one.

If I not wrong telco centre got REAL iPhone 4S display unit you can give it a try.

Sifu do you know iPhones are assemble in china? Sifu when u go try the display unit look behind it should say designed by apple in California Assembled in china.

I do not know where your iph0ne china is made from should be china too hahahah

The Nokia Lumia 900 is powered by a 1.4GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with 512MB of RAM. It is running on the Mango version of Windows Phone.On the camera aspect, there is a front-facing camera and an 8-megapixel camera with 28mm f/2.2 Carl Zeiss lens and dual-flash. Th Lumia 900 comes with Tango application which enables video chats.

^ As u said, that's only what YOU care the most. Not everyone. So smoothness will make the OS the best OS?? Why never mention Windows Phone? FYI, they are as smooth as iOS. sleep.gif

Different people got different opinion, u like smoothness and all that u go for iOS or Windows Phone. If u want flexibility, go for Android. I choose flexibility and that's just my opinion.

HTC at that price range only got average camera, but video recording of sensation XE is good. Maybe just take sensation since XE is out of your budget.

If other brand also can, SE xperia arc S or top up a bit for xperia P.

Hi, can help me? What is the best one for me. Hehe. Not phone actually, but tablets.

1. Brand.
Samsung or apple.
Ipad 3 16gb 4g version or galaxy tab 2, the latest 7" or 10" ma. The one started selling early this month

2. Budget.
Below 1900

3. Specs.
Can open and edit word document, powerpoint, pdf. For free. Will use this tablet for study purpose.
And need 3g connection( both can use sim card).
Which one offers more quality applications for free? Used android before but the apps kinda bored.

Overall, which one is good? Mainly for word, pdf, powerpoint. Open and edit. Nice games, applications. Nice camera also. Thanks k.

But please, I'm not comparing about the brand. I want tablet that offers me the best application, word application and games for free.

The question is , why you cannot buy the applications, but you can buy the device ?
It is worth to spend a few bucks to buy good applications rather than using lousy application
Plus, you are using this tablet for study purposes, of course you need a better application.. even on PC you also need to buy Microsoft Office packs too

you need to choose either you want iOS or Android , then you can choose the tablet that you want easily..

iPad 3 16GB 4G+WiFi = around RM 1800 and above, 16GB is small , but, you just need for study purposes..you can just stored around 10,000 documents[or maybe more]


For Android tablets = you can have Kingsoft Office

while for iOS [iPad] = you can have Documents 2 FREE

Brand: Any type will do, as long as it's a solid build
Budget:RM400~RM500
Specs: Wi-Fi and good web browsing as well as good texting
Type: Would prefer one with a keyboard (especially QWERTY), otherwise a decently sized touch screen (I have slightly big thumbs)

All got pros and cons as stated there, it depends on what your friend wants. For the best all-rounder then HTC sensation, just top up RM50 can edi.

slightly lag only.. you need to know how to manage the Android phone, although it may has quad core processor and big RAM, if you intense it so much, you will experience slightly lag when using the S3..

otherwise, it is still okay biggrin.gif

A newbie in smartphone... can anyone give me some recommendation and perhaps some opinions ??

I am going to get the first smart phone of my life.... My 4 years ++ W910i officially dead....

1. Brand.
Sony (is this brand considered totally outrun by the other brand ?), Motorola, HTC (never doin research on this brand)

2. Budget.
<1500 (The cheaper the better since i am still a student. )

3. Specs.
Good camera, wide and clear screen, GPS, durable and problem free (since i hope to use tis phone for another 4 years like my previous one)

4. Type/Size.
Wide Screen. Wont mind about the thickness....

believe me, once you start to own the smartphone, you will try to buy the new phone at least one for every 3 years smile.gif

wide screen, hmm blink.gif ,

Problem free -, Its depend on the phone itself , I still remember my friend use the W910 but it's not long lasting, after 2 months , her W910 is dead and cannot turn on, but then.. she claims the warranty [Midland Set],

so , problem free is almost impossible especially for a smartphone, but you can hope that, at least no major problems occur to your new phone..

other thing, you need to decide what OS that you want to use biggrin.gif

Blackberry OS ? Android OS ? Symbian OS ? Windows Phone OS ? iOS[Apple] ? other OS ?

For that price tag is quite cheap.
Some ppl fail to understand if selected android can't upgrade their OS they don't complaint but when it's Lumia it seems to be a big issue when can't upgrade.

both are similar, based on your need and requirement ..

Bold 9900 looks better for me , but Bold 9790 has Autofocus camera ...

If buying for camera not even the latest s3 combine with htc one x can win the Nokia 808 pureview or n8.

I recommend her to go for 808 pureview need top up about 300 from her budget.

Android maybe , but iPhone ?? seriously ..? your college students are rich...

in my U , the most of them just use the standard phone [Standard phone OS, non smartphone] , followed by Symbian phone , followed by Android phones , followed by Blackberry , then... followed by Windows Phone [including Windows Phone OS , and then lastly iOS ,

as the matter of fact, only 22 of my university students use iOS device [iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch] based on Q1 2012 survey..

last year, still got students bring their Web OS tablet , but the students already graduated.. no more this year..

Because RM800 is on the sweet spot for most budget phone buyers.
Entry level of high end phone.

Xperia ray is fine if you can live with the small screen, otherwise go for Xperia Neo. Ah yes, I go no problem with my xperia ray, everything goes smooth. The recent release of ICS caused performance slow down. If you are a gamer, don't update to Sony's ICS, it got bad gaming performance. The user interface is as smooth as gingerbread after some modding.

However, the Xperia U is replacing ray/neo already.
Ray/Neo remains as a good choice if you are willing to trade the dual core processor for a better camera.

As for Samsung, decide yourself...
Example :
Galaxy Y - RM450+-
Xperia Mini overhelms the war without any hiccups.
Galaxy Ace - RM700+-
I rather get Xperia ray ap set. The CPU and GPU is a generation ahead.
Galaxy W - RM900+-
Xperia U eats it alive, with it's dual core.
Galaxy Ace Plus - RM900+-
Xperia U again leads with it's dual core.
Galaxy S Advance - RM1100+-
Xperia sola is just RM999, comes with similar spec.

The most important part, Xperia phones have official ICS update, while Samsung's offerings just don't.
I wonder why people are still willing to pour out extras. Due to marketing gimmick? biggrin.gif

Xperia Mini eats Galaxy Y as breakfast.
It comes with faster processor, ram and able to be updated to official ICS.
Xperia Mini : 1GHz CPU (based on ARMv7 instruction), Adreno 205, 512MB RAM, 5MP autofocus camera with flash.
Galaxy Y : 832MHz (based on ARMv6 instruction), Broadcom GPU, 290MB RAM, 2MP fixed focus camera.

We usually recommend those for the camera since no other decent phones with good camera below 1k. Lumia 800 and N8 got good camera also but nowadays most people want Android. mellow.gif

Its a good phone if the user don mind 4.x update .
But 4.x seem like important .
Well for the low price , staying GB is acceptable tho just like lumia 800 .

2x and lumia 900 is doomed due to high price + no update .

IMO, here are the reason :

1. not popular in Malaysia
2. due to note and s2 too popular
3. s3 release
4. hard to find accessory (cover)

rumours again..

I'm also can tell you that cost to make an S3 is 1/3 of the selling price..

LOL.. tongue.gif

Don't spread the rumours if not sure and no fact..

I can accept if you just said that , the cost to make a phone is less than selling price [it is true, of course to get profit]

Samsung is one of the largest electronic company in the world , from TV, DVD until tablets , Samsung has it all..

They've become popular not only in South Korea, but also all over the world. So, the selling price is okay for the devices [ such as S2 , S3 , etc..] provided that the spec of the phones are good..

Yes , its a open secret .
Most of the teardown evaluation sum up every component in iphone 4s found that
the component inside cost about $200+ .
( not counting shipping , marketing , advertisement , warranty , faulty device , test device , design cost , packaging , accessories etc )

definitely Nokia N8 thumbup.gif , since you need 2nd camera at front.....Nokia Lumia doesn't have secondary camera.. unless you want make video call using the primary camera at the back..

so, the choice now is Nokia N8..

the price is RM 999..

but someone mentioned that he saw Nokia N8 around RM 799 at Subang Parade..

Lumia 900 is similar/better than Lumia 800 ..


Nokia N8 is good... using carl zeiss lens too..

RM 999 is still a good price compared to other phones[especially in term of camera performance] , and Nokia N8 is still the 2nd best camera phone in the world..

you can lurk around --> http://www.flickr.com/photos/thenokiagalle...57624933045167/

and see by yourself
