I think this phone in certain ways better buy than the S+
Why?
Touchwiz 4.0 > 3.0
(You may say custom rom, but right now is there any for S+ or the W???)
- 3.0 was kinda crappy in my eyes
- 4.0 doesn't really change much from Gingerbread, but what it changes are nice tweaks here and there. Like folder in app drawer, add widget screen, etc.
- Smooth web browser like S2 (probably hardware accelerated)
Camera Flash (not sure if its gonna be that useful)
Cheaper
- Hits the <1K price range which majority of the people's budget is
What drawbacks I see is
- So far ZERO dev support on W (its really new also) (But S+ isn't much better, but has a CWM mod already)
- Internal storage space less
- No Super AMOLED
- Smaller screen
However, I'm going to recommend people this phone (Galaxy W) for my friends who can't afford phones like S2.
Funny thing is, a couple of months ago, king of budget phones was the Huawei Ideos X5.... Now bigger and more established companies are hitting the <1k range HARD. Sony Ericson and Samsung hit Huawei hard.
Oh, and I think Huawei still has not released gingerbread for the X5.
They have a gingerbread firmware lurking around for another model (OC version of X5), but it has a really ugly skin over android, unlike the X5 which has stock android)
