my bro always complain to me about his Sony Ericsson, so i dunno lah. for me i'm using 903SH, so the complaints are the usual lah. and yeah, dun buy weird phones. my bf bought a China phone for fun and it just died, just like that man.
*takes sifu 8431's thought into deep consideration* will think about what you said, coz you're pretty right actually. sigh!
eh, they're using that? i simply dun remember the new phone names, suddenly so many. lol. but thaks for the heads up, will ask. my requirement is pretty simple, something not so problematic like my old red brick.
too late liao, he spent several hours looking in Lowyat to get himself a 8310. guys ah... anyway, thanks for your heads up too.

oh btw Michael, did you know original phones and AP phones are no different? it's just the warranty difference nia. the 'problems' that you mention are mostly due to dishonest sellers IMHO.
