Iphone 4S or lumia 800. Lumia 900 also can but almost twice the price of lumia 800, not worth it.

Then I suggest lumia 800. For long term use then 4S since lumia 800 not getting WP8. But the lumia is only half the price!

wats the difference in os itself ?

carl zeiss optics that only found on lumia series
Polycarbonate unibidy only found on lumia series
Clearblack display only found on lumia series
Nokia Maps and Nokia Drive on found on lumia series
Specify apps only found on lumia series

Well i tried but cant tell the difference thats y i asking     

kalau nak berinternet murah .. guna lah blackberry ...

I don't think so
my college almost all student using android phone and iphone

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..

guys, atm i hv enuff budget but so cheapskate with gadget/phone.
i rarely calling, browsing most of the time with pc
my current phone = SE c510 

i feel fakap when theres important/memorable event to shot/record 
and the awkward moment when all my fren can use fb/internet @ ngeteh sesssion while i dont 
priority: camera > video > secondary camera >battery
budget below 1.2k.
any brand will do. however, after lurk around here and there, i found more favor to sony and nokia.

so tempting to get this phone too but no front camera.
lumia 900 got rite? but low camera spec?

1. Brand: HTC/Samsung
2. Budget: Second hand RM500+-
3. Specs: Android OS(able to upgrade to 4.x), decent camera, smooth phone.(ram,core etc..not too sure), whole touchscreen, 16mil colour.
4. Type/Size: candybar

TQVM..

But no wifi hotspot right? It's a major let down for me as I always want to connect my ipad via phone hotspot. that's why I don't even take lumia 800 into consideration.

sure? Then I think I'd go for 800. but why Nokia didn't make this phone a 4 incher

its depend on the qwerty keypad 'structure' on the phone..
in lumia 800, it is 3.7 inches..

I'm enjoy typing in Lumia 800 , their virtual keyboard is awesome..

but  of course you need to try them first, so you will know it..
Samsung Galaxy S advance is nice, of course for Android phone, dual core or higher is a MUST
