Yii, apparently I was 2 minutes later than YY to post that msg... (Ps: I set the GMT time as Malaysia time...) Such coincidence... and such coincidence that I am also frustrated over the topic of handphones... YY... we are �ý���...

Wahlau, I have to look at the pics a few times b4 I can differentiate between S300 and A500. Not that they look alike, it's the code name thingy. Erm... I think A500 is too costly for a non colour screen lah.... if u're gonna buy it at about the same price, S300 is more worth it lor... CNETASIA handphone reviews:
Samsung SGH-S300
Samsung SGH-A500

My budget is a lot lower than urs, so I guess no Samsung for me lah... And I'm not say insisting on colour phone also, but if I get colour screen, probably will get that kind of low-end wann la... Erm... some considered handphones:

Nokia 2100
Cost: about RM450 - RM500
Good: Has more or less the features that I want, Nokia interface is good, good support if it goes down.
Bad: Doesn't look very nice, might be very common in the future

Sony Ericsson T100
Cost: about RM350-RM400
Good: Has more or less the features that I want, looks kinda cool, the interface is OK (I played with Xiao Ci's wann liao), it's the cheapest choice.
Bad: I think Xiao Ci doesn't seem to want me to have a same HP as hers. I read the reviews, and some of them have some really bad things to say about it.

Sagem MY-X5D
Cost: a bit more than RM700
Good: Cool ringtone using WAV files instead of polyphonic. Reasonable price for a colour screen. I'll be using same HP as ��ӱ��~����У�����Ҫɵ2��
Bad: Too rare, afraid about the support. Only 256 colours. Battery life thingy.

Sony Ericsson T310
Cost: a bit below RM1000
Good: I like the casing! hahaha... And dengar khabar it comes with a camera.
Bad: Only 256 colours, cannot tahan lah, if it's a camera compatible phone. A bit pricey.

Motorola C350
Cost: RM 500++
Good: Cheap.
Bad: Colour not good, I don't like the casing

Well... 'nuff said...for monochrome my best shot is Sony Ericsson T100, but I am really unsure if Xiao Ci doesn't want that to happen. For colour screen, temporarily it's SAGEM la����ӱ��Ҫ���⣩. Opinions please... I didn't spend about an hr typing this thing for nothing...
