Added on July 30, 2009, 5:32 pmfor heavy gaming, and good camera and all your high end specs, the best u can get is second hand Touch Diamond at that price. but it doesnt have qwerty and no expandable memory. u COULD look out for tytn 2 but it cant do heavy gaming. look for touch Pro at around 1.6k would be the best, fulfils all your specs

@koopig, Xperia and Touch Pro are both good. comes down to preference on design.

@ed3, good pics and with your specs i recommend either the HTC Touch Diamond or HTC Touch HD. i'd go for HD tho IMHO its a better device. good build, same specs, but also has 3.5mm audio jack

I m looking for a phone after my diamond screen has gone kuku ... something wrong with the alignment... keeping going off...

which model should i get? the old diamond s specification just suit me well... except for only one... slow and lag...

budget should be around 2.5k ... would love to hv a new phone like my old diamond but more powerful (i.e. faster and not so sluggish) ..

tq

diamond has the top spec, and it shouldnt be slow and laggy if you actually tweak and maintain it. all windows mobile devices are like that, u ought to tweak it a bit to obtain top performances. before u get rid of your diamond i recommend flashing a cooked rom. go check out the diamond thread in windows mobile specific device forum section for info. otherwise Touch Diamond 2 would be a good choice

@kming, currently in the market there isnt a 5mp windows mobile device with QWERTY keyboard. not yet anyway. in terms of value for money, do u want a cheap phone, or a powerful phone? remember u get for what u pay. i'd say going for the newer models with less bug, speedier as well. Touch Pro and Touch Pro 2 are good considerations. if its ever out, the Acer M900 is a superb looking device that i myself am aiming for

oh so u r recommending me to get back the the same pda? cos my 1st spoiled n heard tht the alignment problem is due to the touch screen and it s expensive to change it. ... hhmm... if it cost more than RM500... might as well i get a new one... hmmm... anyway thanks for the advice

Touch Diamond 2 dude. not the same PDA. for lagginess i'm saying flash your rom, i'm using diamond with no problems. for screen try hard reset, if still cannot claim warranty. ask in Touch Diamond thread

BUDGET RANGE:

Brand Preference if any:any brand ..prefer HTC ... mayb ASUS ?
