What's the difference between Desire and Legend OS? Both are 2.1, but one's Eclaire, the other one is...vanilla?

 

I was thinking of Desire, but it's out of stock....and I need one urgently.

 

 

And how much is Samsung Galaxy? If Singtel 3G Flexi Lite plan? Singtel is saying $0, but that can't be true...

Both still on eclaire. Froyo just released a couple of weeks ago only. Don't think any new android phone in the Sing market is loaded with Froyo.

 

Samsung Galaxy screen very chio. And big.

[Chewbacca]

Sadly, both Galaxy and Desire are out of stock.

 

I don't mind paying more for my handphone this time. It will be my first touch screen phone. I've been using low end, cheap basic ones for the past 2 years. But....only Legend is still stocked.

 

Also, I have very bad experience with Sony Ericsson phone. Which is my current one. Eh, don't think I'll ever get one again. The previous 2 were Nokias.

[Mustank]

Desire or X10 is better?

 

my wife colleague say htc one donno accidently press what button, end up made many calls

[Mcfguy]

Can I safely say that in order to surf the internet like on a PC (without Flash or javascript compatibilties), the best choice is to use a smartphone running Android OS? I've heard Windows Mobile shuld be OK but didn't really know which brand/model running it.

Since this is your first touch screen phone, I would suggest you play around with a good touch screen phone first and see if you like the touch, feel etc. Not all touch screen phones are built the same. Eg I hate the resistance touch screen type. And for some models, I had such a hard time even typing out a short SMS.

 

The Galaxy, Desire, X10, Legend are all capacitative touch screens, similar to the Iphone. You read their specs first before deciding better.

 

I played with the X10 at 313 Starhub some weeks ago. Galaxy I tried at the SingTel Comcentre hello shop last weekend. Not sure if there are other places with "live" models for tryout.

Tried the Galaxy S at the Samsung store at Causeway Pt. The phone's screen is HUGE. Fiddled around with it. Very iPhone like in appearance.

I had such a high expectation for the Galaxy because of the 1GHz processor but I feel a little let down because the flicking/scrolling is still a little jerky and some programs take a little time to launch. Not sure why since the processor is so fast. Maybe it's the settings.

 

do you have the same experience?

[Unfair]

Launching programs not based purely on processor,

Memory plays a part, iphone is faster cause its running on flash, thus limited in the size of the flash memory..

[Kxbc]

I see.

 

Overall, Galaxy still a good performer. Just that my expectation was set much higher earlier.

 

Plus point for the Galaxy: Damn chio screen. Big, bright and clear.

[Kent]

is there any apps close to Pocket Informant?

 

tks...

 

 

[Chewbacca]

I think I'll get the Galaxy. Will do that when I get back to Singapore.

 

Stupid crap Sony Ericsson phone is crappily stupid. Normally, I wait until my contract ends before getting a new phone, because, seriously, I don't really care about phones.

 

But......I guess I'm forced to, this time.

[Chilz]

Stop wearing girly tight jeans!

 

Anyway, just got my galaxy. So I'll be going through the applications here to add more things to my phone.

Same thoughts here, fiddled with the Galaxy and it's kind of laggy . . 2-3 secs before apps launch

 

Getting mine tomorrow . . . have to place order for this

 

Wanted HTC Desire but Galaxy S seems better.
