What Smartphone to get along with iPod 5 Touch?

Hi,

I'm currently owning a Bold 2 and an iPod 5 Touch and I'm planning to get a Q10 when it release in Malaysia. The reason to get a Q10 is because I do not want to get an iPhone 5 as I'm already into the iOS ecosystem with the availability of the iPod and all I need is a hotspot/wi-fi to fully utilize it like an phoneless phone. Besides that, the Q10 could also offer me the instant messengers and emails which is lack in iPod as it does not have a data plan. While I'm also not a big fan of Samsung S4 or perhaps S3 as the phone starts to lag within the duration of 1 year as witness from my friends or if I get a S4, there's no need for the existence of my iPod anymore.

The reason to get a Q10 is to provide hotspot for my iPod if I need to engage into the multi-apps and the battery life of Q10 is a staggering of 2,100mAh Li-ion battery life which could played a replay video up to 14hours before it calls off according to a review I read, though S4 has a bigger battery life. While I could also power play between these 2 devices while I could explore new UI of BB10.

While I'm not into Z10 as it has low battery life and the other close compatible phone with my iPod is HTC ONE. I'm also no a landscaper, or fashion shooter but just a instagrammer to take pic of my daily life, so, I don't really need a high-end camera.

The main point is I want to keep my iPod and which Smartphone should I upgrade to?

Please help me with some solid arguments and give me a clear of a mind.

Brand: Motorola
Budget: max RM700
Specs: at least 5MP cam, at least 3.7 inch screen

Any recommendation??

Brand - sony, samsung, nokia
Budget - rm1200 or less
Specs - high internal memory, high and clear resolution, camera 5mb and higher, got memory slot, good to play heavy games, fast internet browsing.

Optional - battery not built in, android or symbian latest version should be a bonus

For long term use. Considering xperia s, if only it have external memory slot.

Please help. Thanks!

HTC One haven release the latest one? What do you think about Z10? I'm now stumbled upon both of them after research. Can tell me the pros and cons of both phones.

no idea for blackberry
but I strongly suggest get android, windows phone or iOS better

and yes haven't release, gonna release already

I heard people said Lumia 920 AP tend to have a problem like hang. Is it true?

ask here
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2774078/

but IMO won't hang, ap and ori set just warranty different

What's your pick between S4 and HTC One?

And do you know any insider news of the upcoming iPhone release date, is it worth a wait?

s4
no idea for upcoming iphone

Why do you think Z10 is not a good device if let's say the lack of apps is not included into the argument. (because i already have an iPod which can access to all the apps)

What are the pros and cons based on your knowledge?

you take the most important point already =.=

Thanks so much. But i'd surveyed galaxy grand thru the net but it has so much lack here and there. I think it's a bit overpriced compared to the specifications, and plus, it hv dual sim. Not looking for that kind of phone.

Any other suitable recommendation? Thank you.

xperia sp??

Hi guys,
Any idea how much a Samsung Galaxy Note (the old one) would cost? RM700~800? Or should I get something else?
Thanks

What do you think if i compare a combination of iPod touch & Z10 together vs a HTC alone?
Because i own a iPod Touch 5 now and a Bold 2 and im thinking of changing to a better smartphone.

Here's the scenario, if I were to get HTC, i would sell my iPod to fund it which still has a price which can reduce the cost as im a tertiary education student. But the opportunity cost of getting into this Android world will cost me the forbidden of iOs and trying the new UI of BB10.

Another thing is to gamble whether Android phones will start to lag as I have friends who own a S3 and Note 2 which starts to show lagging indicator within the period of 1 year. and I'm not sure about BB10.

And of course, HTC hardware beats BB10 in every aspect, but both are different software with different experience. BB10 hardware is not seen up to date with all the 2013 phones and it seems that the spec can only last up to this 1 year while the HTC One spec is like a future phone which can last and no to be eliminated easily for at least 2 years.

What do you think?
