My Next Mobile Phone

Wednesday, November 12, 2008 by Dondabao

I'm disappointed with the current hand phones that I have. The 1st generation iPhone & HTC Diamond.




I asked my uncle who is staying in New York to buy the 1st generation iPhone about 6 months ago. It cost around S$500+ after conversion. Initially I was fascinated by it's picture quality even though it is 2 mega pixel. I was also impressed by the phone's sensitivity, it did not lagged when I chose any application. Best of all, it has user-interface function. The pictures will rotate toward the viewer. It was a gadget that many people wanted and I managed to get it early and at a low price. But as time goes by, i felt that iPhone was not friendly after all. I could not send photos to other using Blue tooth, unable to install most of the applications that were available online and to update of software. The best thing was, the speaker and ear piece became "Soundless". I did not drop the phone before and it was only 6 months and the phone's speaker was spoilt. What Kind of QC standard did the manufacturer had?? Fuck Up!! Since the phone was bought from US and there was no local warranty. It would cost me a BOMB to repair it. Sianz..



Since the iPhone was spoilt. I thought of getting another phone. A phone that must have functions and features that iPhone don't. HTC Diamond. The reviews I read from "Stuff" Magazine was good. Rating: 4/5. My wife was able to get me the phone at good rate, S$200+. So I decided to buy it. All the previous difficulties were solved. I can Blue tooth anything that I want, download applications and most of the features that other SMART phones should have. But Diamond's processing speed is SLOW!! Very Lagging!! It'll take around 2 secs to react whenever I chose a application. Then I could hardly tapped the correct buttons. It would take me quite sometime just to type SMS. Now I'm still using Diamond, but I'm getting more and more disappointed it because of the processing speed. I'm a impatient fellow. 

So, I have decided to get a good camera phone instead. For the next phone. I'm looking at either one of these. 

1. Sony Ericsson C905, 8.1 mega pixel phone



2. Samsung i8510 INNOV8, 8 mega pixel phone
