Hey guys, mind giving some recommendation? Details below;

1. Brand. [Any, tho a fan of HTC]
2. Budget. [cheaper the better! range 700-1k, but will consider higher based on requirement]
3. Specs. [Cam at least 5MP, Screen size like HTC One V? Sorry not sure on the measurement!]
4. What you need in the phone
[Not really a heavy user, in fact this would be my 1st owned smartphone. Will prolly use just to online FB/twitter/take pics/listen to music. Smaller phones not convenient to my long fingers, hence the HTC One V being the ideal size. I was thinking of HTC One V and Samsung Galaxy S Advance. But open to other suggestion if there is any/better.

Thanks in advance!

Oh wow so many helpful souls, thanks for the recommendation & opinions!
Still haven't decided on which one yet, but adding Xperia P into consideration besides HTC One V & Samsung Galaxy S Advance

Some further question though,
1. what does it means when there is no 3.5mm jack? means Xperia P can't plug earphone? sorry noob question lol.
2. Among these 3 choices, any idea on their battery performance?

Many thanks again!

Thx for the suggestions as well, but not really berkenan la, doesn't click with my heart.. sorry ;_;

Will probably go for Xperia P, depending on the feel when visiting store thanks again e1!
