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

QUOTE(Tiger I @ Jun 18 2012, 01:10 PM)
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!

Hi , looking for a new phone .

1. any brand should be ok , except samsung , really bad experience with that brand
2.budget less then 1k
3. specs :

-mostly going to use for basic stuff , not really for gaming
-thinking bout front camera .
-average screen , not too small, will be using as ebook reader . also small screen susah to type.
-decent battery life
-camera should be decent , no need very high quality stuff.
-dont really need deep social integration , dont use facebook , twitter that much .
-need radio.
4. normal shape.

I noe , seems like long list , but its my first smartphone, so just want to be thorough, plus , will buying for long term usage ( a few years at least)

thanks in advance
*
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.

desire s . hmm really didnt cross my mind , but ill have a look. does it get ICS ?

btw , do you think front camera is really important ? not really sure if i need it .

thanks
*
Yeah, desire S will get ICS. For me I dun think front camera is important, dun really see the purpose.

Oh ya, atrix / atrix 2 are quite a lot better than desire S. Forgotten about it, sorry. But atrix still dunno when will get ICS, not much news but atrix 2 will get soon.

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.

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

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.

-Samsung galaxy S advance (No news on ICS)

Among 4 of them , which model worth for bucks ?

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

Many will do well. If u want the best of the best, probably Nokia 808 pureview followed by Nokia N8.

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.

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.
