Location of seller: Putrajaya, Sepang, Cyberjaya, Puchong, Bangi, Subang Jaya

Pros: 3.7" S-LCD capacitive screen, 5MP camera with LED flash, 720p video recorder (HD), Android OS 2.3 Gingerbread, 512MB RAM, 2GB ROM(big internal memory to download a ton of apps), fast and responsive performance.thanks to the 1.4GHz Single Core CPU, Wifi, GPS, Bluetooth 3.0, Reasonable price, front-facing camera for video calls (on 3G and wifi).

Cons: i doubt this phone will receive the Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 update, but I expect developers out there to port ICS to this phone anyway, dual-core is all the rage nowadays but i think a 1.4GHz single-core is okay as well

  

My say: Samsung is at it again,they make 1 super-duper great phone (like the Samsung Galaxy S, Galaxy S II) and then they make hundreds of variants that is so confusing to the public.

Now there is the Galaxy R, Galaxy Z, Galaxy S Plus, Galaxy SL. pening weiiii!!

Rant ends. hehe

Anyway, the Galaxy W is supposedly an update(or big brother) of the infamous Samsung Galaxy Ace. the specs are upgraded in every area except for the rear camera resolution.

here's a spec-to-spec comparison between Galaxy W and Ace. LINK

For under RM1000, this phone is definitely one of the best in market. Its spec sheet is commendable and its price tag is el-cheapo! I actually recommend this over it's 4" screened elder brothers(Galaxy S i9000, Galaxy SL i9003, Galaxy S Plus) cuz i think the S1 series has a lot of filing and performance issues(laggy) that the Galaxy W has overcome.

If you're looking for a phone under RM1000, then this phone is definitely ThePhoneForYou!

Competition: Huawei Ideos X5, Samsung Galaxy Ace, HTC Desire S, Sony Ericsson XPERIA Neo.

[NEWS] iPhone 4S

The news that everyone has been waiting for has arrived!

and frankly, we're a little disappointed...

Though we appreciate the processor n RAM n camera upgrade, but Apple should have gone all the way and come up with the iPhone 5 with the rumored bigger n better screens.

The iPhone 4S has great specs! dont get me wrong! but its similar to Samsung Galaxy S II. dont ya think?
and the SGS2 came out in May! so Apple had and extra 5 months to come up with something better than SGS2 and it even fails at doing that.

as the small screen (3.5") is really not comparable to SGS2's 4.3" SuperAMOLEDplus screen or HTC Sensation XE's 4.3" S-LCD screen..

Well, at least u can use ur iPhone 4 casings on ur new iPhone 4S! saves u abit of money, huh?

Here's a comparison of the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S

Expect the iPhone 4S to break ur bank, as previous iPhones have done everytime they were launched.
But remember to compare it with other top-of-the line Android smartphones if u're thinking of getting a new iOS, as the SGS2 is now only RM1850 and the HTC Sensation XE is expected to cost less than RM2100 as well

Here's a comparison of all 3 phones - HTC Sensation XE, SGS2, iPhone 4S

Latest OS for the Galaxy Ace is Gingerbread 2.3.4!

Pros: 3.5" TFT Screen! Standard connectivity available - GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth. smooth interface, 5mpx camera with LED flash! Gingerbread update 2.3.4 now available as seen in picture above! 800MHz CPU, hot-swappable Micro SD card slot(no need to switch off phone and remove battery), CHEAP!

 

Cons: poor video recording(only 15fps), no dedicated camera key, does not support Adobe Flash, TFT screen not as nice as SLCD, no front-facing camera.

  

My say: The best budget droid, in my opinion now has a Gingerbread update! What you get with the new Gingerbread update as compared to the previous Froyo OS on the phone

• improved battery life 
• ability to transfer most apps to SD

Its not a lot of improvement/changes but at least its something..and u know Samsung's doing something to ensure that your phone is up-to-date. 

One of the best droids under RM900, it has all the standard connectivity available. It also looks like the iPhone 4 abit, and its specs are good for its price. If you are a newbie to Android, then this phone is definitely ThePhoneForYou!

Samsung Google Nexus S i9023

Item: Samsung Google Nexus S i9023
 
Specifications: >HERE<
 
Status: Brand New!

Package includes: FULLSET. Phone, Charger, Headset, Micro USB Cable, Manual/User Guide
 
Price:  RM1300
 
Warranty: 12 Months AP

Dealing method: COD Only

Location of seller: Putrajaya, Sepang, Cyberjaya, Puchong, Bangi, Subang Jaya

sorry senget~

Pros: 4.0" Super Clear LCD Screen! Standard connectivity available - GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth. smooth interface(no lag whatsoever), 5mpx camera with LED flash! Comes with built-in 16gb memory, Contoured display with curved glass screen,has front-facing camera can be used for Video Calls(via 3G n Wifi). Comes with Android Gingerbread 2.3.3 (upgradeable to 2.3.4!), Single-core 1GHz CPU! 512MB RAM

 

Cons: no 720p video recording(even though Samsung Galaxy S has this feature), no microSD slot(so u're forever stuck with 16gb, which is alot pon), no dedicated camera key, accessories are hard to find

  

My say: The first ever Gingerbread powered phone. the Nexus S is the better twin brother for the very-popular Samsung Galaxy S. Basically, Samsung provided the hardware, and Google came up with the software. Since Google phones(Google Nexus One and Nexus S) are developer phones, they have NO BLOATWARE(apps from manufacturer). So, u'll have to download ur own 3rd party video player and file manager apps and etc...

 

If u've tried the original Galaxy S, u've probably experienced how LAGGGGYYY it was. well that was because of Samsung's stupid idea of using a file system called RFS. but this problem does not exist with the Nexus S and it runs silky smooth and without any glitches or lags. 

If u're budget is within RM1250-1350, then this phone is ThePhoneForYou! =D

[TIP] Updating your Droid

Android is a forever- updating and upgrading software

So how do u ensure that ur droid is using the latest and best software and not stuck on the same 'ol software that u got when u first bought it?

You update it!

You can check whether ur phone has any updates or not by going to

Settings > About Phone > Software Update

If there is and update available, u can download it OTA(Over The Air, maknanya directly to ur phone, bukan melalui PC)
(make sure u're connected to Wifi before doing this)

OK u've checked that there SHOULD be an update for ur phone, tp xde pon!

Dont worry, sometimes updates arrive to other regions(mainly Europe) earlier than they arrive at Malaysia, thats why lambat siket baru bole update...

Other than updating Over The Air (OTA), you can also update your phone by using ur computer via an updating software

Motorola Software Update -> LINK

Check if there are updates to ur HTC phone in Malaysia HERE. HTC usually updates their phones OTA

for Samsung, you'll have to use Samsung KIES to update ur software

but BE CAREFUL when updating via KIES, cuz sometimes there will be some issues when u update via KIES -> KIES Download Link HERE

for Sony Ericsson phones, check HERE

or, as an alternative and if u like to tinker with ur phone, u can download and install new firmwares or custom ROMS to ur phones by visiting the XDA forum HERE


*You should definitely back up ur phone cuz sometimes a major update will WIPE EVERYTHING (contacts, messages, apps) from ur phone

 Android Eclair 2.1

Android Froyo 2.2

Android Gingerbread 2.3

and the yet-to-be released Android Ice Cream Sandwich 2.4!
