BUDGET RANGE: below RM3.3k

Brand Preference if any: SE/HTC/Samsung

QWERTY keyboard: Yes!! (doesnt matter virtual or hardware)

GPS: Yes!!

Bluetooth: Yes!!

WIfi: Yes!!

Camera Resolution minimum: I would prefer 5Mp but a minimum 3 Mp is acceptable

Expandable Memory: Yes but if internal is 16Gb then not necessary. anything lower than 8Gb must have an expansion slot.

Touch screen: Yes!!

Extra: Can play mp3

Gaming: None/minimal

Other specs are not very important. budget wise, none. all 3 are within range. i stated the price so that forumers can justify and/or rasionalize the cost for the respective phone.

well, actually, i am looking for aesthetic opinions. spec wise they all meet my requirements. That's why i'm purely looking for aesthetic opinions or personal experiences. There are a lot of comparison out there but mostly are spec based OR compares the performance of two phones but not all three.

just wanted honest opinions/xp when comparing them. i started with a VERY big list and finally narrowed down to this 3. just need some comments about them. e.g. HTC hangs the worst compared to all 3, touch screen sensitivity between all three, the processor for X1 is the slowest, etc.

i've been going through some threads in LYN and ppl generally give comments about one particular model or at most, compare between two of them. but not all 3 of them.

anyone got any ideas? would appreciate it.

thnx in advance!!

much appreciated about the comments for HTC Touch Pro and Omnia. thnx. btw, e.g. means for example.. and in this case, i was throwing random examples.. there wasnt anything personal about HTC or its performance. just giving readers an idea about the type of comments that i am looking for.

but that's the problem again. X1 is out of the equation. it is out in the market just not in malaysia yet. i have a faint feeling that X1 is gonna top it all but i dont know for sure. althought X1 is using the panels from HTC touch pro, it seems that it is faster with its dedicated memory. google it out to confirm.

although i have a budget that fits all, that doesnt mean i have to spend all of it. Value for money is more important. that's my problem.
ehmm.. someone should start a poll on this.. see what the majority prefers..

anyway, thanks man.. gonna do more research on this before deciding. cya
