Macam Ace, yes, overclocked.

I believe they get the slower chips and overclock them.

Normal MSM8225 = 1GHz
MSM8225T = 1.4GHz

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

i was thinking of getting this phone....  sad.gif

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

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

for those who already using this phone - does it have a portable wifi hotspot feature? as i understand android 2.2 (or was it 2.3) has this feature, i'm wondering if samsung enabled it or not in this phone.

actually this galaxy w has almost the same specs as the Nexus One minus the processor part and of course the camera features are different too, but size and spec wise pretty much the same.

Yes. It has the feature. Under 'wireless and network',  there is an option called 'tethering and portable hotspot'.

ya meh ???
so means sgs 2 also drop very crazy ??

it wont drop any further for now, previously price drop was due to many speculating iphone 5 will arrive but instead iphone 4s came, but price still remain cheaper than when it was launched with RRP. But take note the processor was different in the cheaper version of SGS II. I won't explain further, u can check out SGS II thread in the forum. Lets continue talking about the galaxy W instead smile.gif

guys dont obsess too much about the free RAM. android takes care of the memory management for you unlike windows - it knows when and what to terminate to run other apps - so you won't get a nasty out of memory error when you run your apps. also as some have mentioned - some of the total RAM is used by the OS itself - so when you have 512 MB ram total, upon fresh reboot you will have somewhere between 250-350 mb depending on how much the OS use and other apps that you have installed that startup upon boot.

i'm a bit concerned with the overclocked CPU from the 1 ghz to 1.4 ghz, not sure will that reduce the lifespan or not but i guess we shouldn't worry cos got 2 years from SME?

Can try IMCC in Sunway Pyramid. Just tell them you're from LYN and they'll give you a better price.

how much better would the price be? if RM 50-RM100 cheaper than RRP will be great smile.gif

They will only update the Android version if they think that the function is essential at the same time maintaining the performance. So far we know that ICS run fluidly on dual-core model. If Samsung tested this device and it run at its optimum then we will have the update. So, we just have to wait for official Samsung statement about the update of ICS to Galaxy W.

Haha, if you are so concern, then go and try out the device. If you live nearby me then you can come and test the device. tongue.gif
