Samsung
Captivate - it has a 1Ghz Processor, 16GB of internal Memory, Local 3G Network compatible, 512MB Ram, 5MP Camera and a 4.0" 16M AMOLED Screen and best of all u can get one locally for all 30K (USD $348 equivalent)
Well! I've thought about the Captivate but when I look at the price tag. I staggered. I could get the SG Ace for $302 clocking @800MHz, less internal storage that can be compensated with SD cards, same camera, later version of Android OS and a FM radio (which the Captivate lacks). That is enough to push me on the SG Ace side when I see the additional $197 I'd have to churn out of my pockets to get the Captivate.
While the HTC Inspire 4G is a nice handset with a 1Ghz snapdragon CPU with Adreno GPU and a 8Mp camera. I maintain that I don't want to spend so much money on a phone I might loose in a few months or so...... I really think the HTC Inspire is worth it but I would like to stick to my budget of $300-$400.
I'm not buying on eBay as I don't have the resources to do so but the phone will be bought in China by now and the last of this month and will be carried here free of cost (to both me and the person carrying it). The person says HTCs over there are between 1600 yuan to 4000 yuan. 6.50 yuan = US $1. So I budgeted to buy a 1950 yuan to 2600 yuan phone.
