              AnonD-32029, 28 Nov 2011plz guide me btwn ace and htc exp, look wise which shld i buyACE and Explorer are almost same:
              Advantages of HTC:
              1. Much better UI
              2. Overall better touch screen. Smaller size at same resolution (320x480)

              Advantage of ACE:
              Better camera (5MP) with flash and Auto Focus.

              Decide on which features are more important to you and go for that phone..

                this is a very good fone, features r mindblowing, resolution is also grt, and above all the brand is no comparison in touch phones.

                only the thing is that in this range it competes samsung galaxy ace, as it look lik i phone

                            I purchased HTC Explorer about 1 month back after much searching and debating on buying this vs LG optimus net 690.
                            This is my first smartphone and I must say that I am very much impressed with its performance so far.

                            First of all, let me clear some doubts:

                            1. There is no headset in the box (Roumors which say there are 2 versions of this phone - one with headset and one without- are totally false)
                            2. This has 150MB of internal ROM. ~36MB of which is already used by pre-loaded apps which cannot be removed (unless you root the phone). So, You have ~114MB available at the time of unboxing. (I know the box says 90MB but my phone had 114 MB "available Internal Storage")
                            3. You CAN install new apps on the SD card but some part of them will use up Internal storage. My calculations say that you can install at least 30-35 new apps on this phone. They are more than enough for me at any given point of time. If you want more, then you should probably think of increasing your budget and buy a high end phone.


                            About the Phone:
                            The phone is quite small and fits perfectly in the pocket as well as hand. The back cover has a nice rugged feel about it and has a good grip. I find the 600MHz speed to be good enough for ANY "normal" activity. (Angrybirds ran without any lag). The touch sensitivity is also too good (better compared to LG P500 which my friend has).

                            Pros:
                            1. Excellent UI and graphics (HTC Trademark).
                            2. Some of the preloaded apps are nice and useful to me (gtalk, youtube, saavn - online music streamer, NDTV cricket)
                            3. Battery life is better than expected - I have been using the phone franatically since i bought it and the battery typically lasts 1 day (with WiFi ON ALL the time). I was surprised with the battery life because it only has 1230mA battery. I think the OS/UI has much better power management than some of the other phones.
                            4. GPS/WiFi Hotspot features - I think they are verry useful.. Battery life is also good with these features turned ON ( at least 5 hrs of non stop usage at full charge)

                            Cons:
                            1. Camera does not have autofocus.
                            2. No LED Flash
                            3. Some of the preloaded apps are no good. Unfortunately we cant remove them without rooting the phone :-(
                            4. Does not have a magnetic compass built in. I dont think this is a big issue in normal use. But how could HTC name the phone "Explorer" and not put a compass in it! :)

                            All in all, I think this phone is a good value for money.

                                        kshitij, 27 Nov 2011which to choose - explorer or optimus net? or shud i go for... moreThe first thing that got to me was that the Net has a 800MHz processor but then realized, it's the same 600MHZ processor used in Explorer and is Overclocked, that's the reason behind the 1500 mAH battery. Difficult choice to make but i would go with Explorer.
