HTC HERO OR HTC HD2, Money is no object

Isx — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 00:32:38 +0800

Apparently on 19th Nov 2009, My hardcore kick ass phone the K850i was strucked with the pain of no LCD lighting in the background(which will cost me around 120 - 250 to fix. for a problem that I did dont do. However, upon constant cursing the brand known as SE, I have decide to jump the wagon to htc. However, I still couldn't not decide whether I want an android OS(HeRO) or the new WinMO 6.5(HD2)

Now it has come to my attention that the WinMO has a lot of pesky bugs now which lead me to believe that it might not be a good time to be getting a rather insecurely state of phone. While the HTC HERO running the android has rather decent history on a plus I have also read alot on the android forum on custom roms and shit.

However, spec based on camera wise the HTC HD2 wins without a doubt adding that the htc hero has rather awful picture taking ability due to the fact that it has no flash.

So what I ask of the kind Lowyat members, newbie,veteran and everyday user which phone do you think is best on.

1. Picture taking ability.
2. SMS,Text Input using the touchscreen, how does it differs from one product to another?
3. design of the phone. (the htc hd2 rather large for pocket , htc hero with the infamous chin of hate-love)

Please and thank you to all.
I'm Ismail and you just been railed in. (sxephil anyone???)

buying new phone after 5 years, motorola v3's life is ending

ifer — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 12:37:40 +0800

hi,
i have been using the black motorola v3 for the past 5 years and i have been ignorant of what type of phones there are out there.
now, the battery life of my phone is coming to an end and to my surprise, motorola has ceased in producing mobile phones (that's what the shop people told me anyway)

anyway, what i like about my phone or motorola is the constant reminder the phone has if i didn't answer any calls or smses. this alone is something that is really important to me.

i am wondering is there any phones out there that have this function? any phones besides motorola?

thanks for all the sifus' help

jordanhwong — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 12:35:50 +0800

I am going to buy a well-designed phone. Although n76 is an old phone and lg crystal gives a lot of problems for some user, these are the phones which have the best looking. Which one do you prefer?
Does lg crystal support Chinese?
How much is the price of Nokia n76?

Million thanks in advance.
