16 months ago, i lost my iphone and disappointed with singtel in the way handle my replacement sim card case.

refer here:

and today.. i finally have the chance again to re-contract my mobile line with singtel, otherwise wait for another 3 months to switch to other service provider. below are some of the shortlisted phones:

(above) just saw a lady using this in the bus. love at first sight.. dont get the wrong idea, not the lady yet is the phone! its a phone that i once like before which already out in the market about 1 year plus. starhub do not have this. to recontract with singtel, i only need to pay $48 or pay $18 if i order between 9pm -9am. another strong point is the gps works well with those running apps. overall it is cheap.

pros – value for money & gps reliable

htc desire spec avaliable here

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc was already in my shorlist few months ago. i am attracted by the design because looks unique and slim. the reviews so far about this phone is neutral, not much negative comments. i am not too sure about their GPS whether will have same problem like HTC desire HD. comes with 2 colors, midnight blues and sliver. it cost about $249 for 2 years contract.

pros – unique design, slim and better camera and processors.

spec for arc is avaliable here
