(someone suggest me the new touch cruise or touch diamond, how izzit?)

Both touch cruise and diamond are good devices. and both fulfil your needs.

Touch Cruise = medium gaming

Touch Diamond = heavy gaming

both have different pros and cons however. see the specs and u'll know the difference so i wont elaborate here.

diamond is slightly over your budget for brand new ori SIS Malaysia

Touch Cruise is ok, but u can get a better phone like the Asus P565 at 1.99k.

And take note that currently in games, a faster proc is more important than a graphics accelerator. Go google P565 vs Touch Diamond gaming performance

you're wrong there. graphics accelerator is more important. and btw the P565 has a marvel chip, with graphics accelerator. Coupled with a faster proc its no wonder it beats Diamond. Qualcomm cannot stand up to marvel already, with bad drivers integration. but still, its not "bad". Rather not as good as it could be.

well... regarding the GPS function for both cruise and diamond,
which is better? any comment? or both is the same? (sorry i m new)

DO u still want a Diamond? I`d rather get a P565

hi baronic
seems like my bf wants to get gps himself so i've midified my requirements

I was gonna recommend the TyTN2, but it has a QVGA screen. How about an Asus P565? It has a VGA screen, so things are sharp

thanks for the fast reply
i'm considering tytnII and touch pro actually
maybe will get touch pro second hand
thanks again ~

hello, ijust got a quick question. I know that all dopod comes with ce-star pre installed, right?
any other company that does the same in malaysia?

am3, AFAIK, no.

@pepper, if u can get a second hand Touch PRo SIS Malaysia with remaining warranty, that'll be a good way to go

hello baronic, you mean, the dopod do not come with ce preinstalled (must go to dopod website to install) or there are no other company who provide cestar for free?

since ce-star is quite expensive... htc is the same company as dopod right? do they provide cestar for free?(by going to the website or any other way?)

thank you.

Btw, if he doesnt mind not having touch screen, the get the S740

if u buy brand new, yes its bundled with CE star, both Dopod and HTC

2k eh? Lots of phones, but probably the best speced one is the Asus P565..

Meets everything u want and more

@shaun3230, asus p565 has been canned. check it out bro

@auction, u can opt for a later model Diamond, which is just slightly above budget. else the new Touch Cruise also is fine

What do u mean by canned? Canceled?

Its can be found abundant here

@auction: Touch Cruise is fine, but sort of slowish for me. 400MHz + 128MB ram??

Yeah, try and go slightly above 2k an du can get a Diamond

diamond is limited to 4gb & has no expandable memory slot...... a real bummer in this day n age.
quite a waste since microsd 8gb card costs only rm70

@Auction,

you may also consider Samsung Omnia
though you will have to top up bit
