Normal MSM8225 = 1GHz
MSM8225T = 1.4GHz

Why not change the whole numbers if its a different chip?

they using same chip lah bro.. it truth that they OC. same v S + that y all cheaper than S II

I know.

The T basically means its overclocked from the MSM8225's 1GHz.

Similar scenario with the Galaxy Ace ma. The Ace's proc was rated at 600MHz, but overclocked to 800mhz.

got a point there, since they OC'ed it I wonder if the lifespan will end up shorter for this phone

come on guys, there is a much better hp out there. Motorola Defy+

ppl nowadays trust samsung & htc.. old days is se & nokia. history is motorola.

T = turbo motorola defy+ not bad but

Main disadvantages

Android 2.1 is an outdated OS version
Limited storage for installing apps
No smart dialing
No HD video recording
No DivX video support out of the box
Equalizer controls are not within the music player
No secondary video-call camera

i better go for W cos newer with 2011 product. i still prefer HTC!

Lol. so what you mean is we cannot update the OS to latest version?

That was what i was trying to imply...

Now that you got it, bravo

i wonder if it is a good choice for me to replace my ace with w? or should i get s plus instead?

Most probably can upgrade up to Froyo. Better save the funds and buy a phone that can be upgrade for latest firmware. Atleast dual-core. For Samsung phones, only SGSII and Note will be getting ICS firmware upgrade.
Go for SGSII if you have enough funds as the price is getting cheaper where you can buy new set at RM1600 already ~~just my two cents~~

i was thinking of getting this phone....

but we can underclock it right? maybe 1Ghz or 1.2 is more than enough for the phone?

you can underclock it only with setcpu which requires you to root your phone which officially voids your warranty.

the galaxy W is very fast and responsive as compared to my previous galaxy Ace. definitely a nice budget phone, but in terms of looks, probably not that great. would rate it 6/10 compared to Ace. it feels light and 'cheap', but it's so comfortable to hold. but in terms of performance wise..i would rate it 8.5/10.. it's responsive and fast with the 1.4ghz processor.

i saw your comment in garage sales...you bought this phone...

does it feels "cheap" i mean for the build quality...how does it feel? any problems you encounter so far?

btw why u say 6/10 against ace? ace looks better? i thought they look kinda same...

it's lighter than ace. how's the camera?

it kinda feels like plastic type of material, that's why its light. Ace design looks similarly to the iphone. somehow the galaxy W feels lighter..you need to have a look at it and hold it to know what i mean but the performance wise,you won't regret it,trust me. i made the right decision to sell my ace for this. another alternative is S Plus, but i decided to get galaxy W cause it's newly released and cheaper, although i prefer bigger phones. it's really really fast. when you type text msgs, or swipe along the home screen.
