if can't hit 1.4ghz no point get W cos better go for other. juice is not working with c7 on ace. dunno it work with W a not?? hmm.gif what for provide us 1.4ghz cpu but can't hit 1.4. no offense ya just wanna share my thought. y dun use 1.0 ghz that can UC at 0.8 ghz for longer battery mode?

if S2 i might go for non-G version. personally~ if really hit max they should offered gorilla glass + samoled with same price. this what i wish~

My friend got a nexus s, runs stable on 1.4GHz (sure rooted la~) but he now limit it to 800 only. Everything as smooth as flowing water. Weird? Nope... It's how those custom rom can utilize the limited resources which default rom can't get to that level. Really smooth even though he limited to just 800

front camera is very basic only, girls that like to 自拍(take self photo for profile picture) will certainly dissapoint >_<
The back 5mp camera is very good for me!!! Can touch and focus like galaxy S. Very sharp in capturing text screen.
I myself a students sometime nid to take photo of class note, samsung galaxy W really help me a lot!!!
However, there is some website claim that it can detect smile, I still haven got chance to test that feature yet.
The wifi receiver is super great and superfast in this hp compare to my galaxy ace.
I can download big game within minute!!!!!!
Galaxy w can detect weak wifi!!! I can use my hp at toilet now while doing big business XD  tongue.gif
Last time my galaxy ace only can detect connection that near to AP.
I can really said that I am damn enjoy when I use this hp to surf net.
U can pinch to zoom and zoom out SUPER SMOOTH even at the webpage with flash!!!  thumbup.gif
Gaming part, I just downloaded angry bird season and fruit ninja, still haven further explore it.
So far no lag for me, very smooth  thumbup.gif

You sure it's "CLASS NOTE"?? Not Tutorial solution? Not Lab report? I used to do that xD

Had a hands on Galaxy W @ Festival City Mall at a Samsung... stall??? (Don't know how to describe but it's not a shop, not a store... but in the middle of walk way that type). It sells mainly samsung and a portion of other brands. Asked price, RM999, no free MicroSD but say free "Protector". Asked warranty, One year, if register online, got another year "customer service". I just tell what I heard. Maybe I think too much but I don't think that mean warranty. Anyway, it's too expensive. Asked him to let me touch the phone. He even booted the phone up but wrapped in the plastic used to wrap food/vege. The screen still works though. I love the way to unlock the phone. Basic interface very very smooth but I touched it upon boot up and felt some lagginess. Gone after a while. Don't get to try other things as I think that is a set for sale, don't dare to touch other thing. If demo set then I sure cincai play =P. He took out from the shelf for me to touch so I pay some respect to him. No choice. hahaha laugh.gif

call quality is okay actually, i dont see any problem.. about the phonearena review on call quality below average, i dont think thats the case. maybe just somehow phonearena telco at that time somehow low signal or something tongue.gif just my thought though.

but i do face talking problem for viber.. i think that might be due to the connection problem  biggrin.gif

unless other brand rollout a mid-range hp and a similar price.. else i dont think the phone price will drop any lower.. maybe RM850.. and i asked the stores i bought.. from their information, average selling of this phone is 10-20 per day.. so demand is quite high.. if demand is high.. obviously price will maintain or even jack up.. just my thought  tongue.gif


Added on November 5, 2011, 8:18 pm

well other samsung thread forumers said so.. not very sure myself but i asked the shop personnel and she said SEP will get 2 years still.. maybe you can try your luck to buy it on 31/12/2011  biggrin.gif

QUOTE(akash3656 @ Nov 5 2011, 10:23 PM)
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)
*
Super AMOLED, 3.7 vs 4.0" and thickness is the main difference there. Internal storage... Actually if compare to Arc/Arc S (320MB user avail), it's a lot bigger d. Somemore after someone post the video comparing web browsing of W and Arc here, W is a lot smoother. SE wins on Camera/Screen Size/Screen Quality/Thickness. But actually... comparing the 5MP on my N82(old school yo~) and 8MP on Arc, except video part, I don't think my old N82 lose out a lot. Got Xenon flash somemore xD. Did equally good on lowlight also. See no point there to get it for its camera except the fact that it has 3MP more. W will be just nice but a bit too small for me. I got two more months to decide xD

if u install stuff to SD should be fine, i have < 200mb of internal on my nexus one and i have a lot of apps - still able to survive.

Can I know how large is Papago file? Including all the maps and installation. My garmin already need 150MB of which around 100MB is map(IMG file). But that's old one. Thinking that papago will be larger. If it's like 200~300MB, it should be installed on internal memory then I can take out micro SD anytime.

But I doubt that. Anyway, when your phone spoilt, still got chance to unroot meh? If you can't see the screen(screen crack perhaps, not covered in warranty also) or whole phone just died. How you unroot when you can't even make it works tongue.gif

Awesomeeeee....
So... should I wait for Tab 7.7(7.7 Superamoled Plus, 1.4GHz Dual Core brows.gif ) or go for W(for the super value)?
Don't tell me I can't compare them. I'm getting just ONE android device for myself.

depends on ur lifestyle i guess? if u are the type which sits at home or office often.. tab shud be fine.

but if on the go, W is more than enough.
*
But Tab 7.7 is like forever waiting game somemore the pricing is not confirmed yet. I give it until end of next month before deciding which to get. Both size are fine for me. Just that W is really worth the money spent based on the feedback from users over here. For daily operation and gaming, I really think single core is already more than enough especially when the one used in W is 1.4GHz, not 1GHz in older phones. Dual core is just nice to show off in benchmarking, nothing else. Agree anyone? tongue.gif

1 thing i do not understand about this phone is the internal memory, when i go setting > storage > it display total 1.70GB on USB storage and 0.95GB free memory on device memory.. But just now i go read pamphlet official from samsung malaysia stated it's 4GB internal memory. I don't understand how it works? Can someone explain..? How bout u guys phone? I think malaysia set got 4GB internal memory compare with outside set 2GB memory. no?

I believe that you're not reading from Samsung Malaysia Website because I can't find Galaxy W/SL/S+ there~ They never update it. You read from?? Mobile88?? I just checked. Mobile88 list it as 4GB and price at 885~915 but user feedback say 2GB only. lol...

Anyone planning to ditch Touchwiz 4.0 when ICS officially comes out? tongue.gif

I hope Galaxy W's hardware is enough to handle ICS hmm.gif

Definitely enough. Nexus S can handle ICS. My friend installed on his rooted Nexus S beta ICS xD
But nexus S is using SGX540 which should be more powerful than Adreno 205 used in W.

Samsung won't "fall for you"~ Even you get 500k ppl asking I think they won't bother too. They need just 1~2 months for the user to forget about what they demand from samsung when there's new phone coming out. biggrin.gif

Should be dust. Either ON the lens cover or ON the inner lens, worst case, on the sensor. Forumer here said there's one plastic on the lens cover. You removed it? If can't clean then just throw back to the shop you bought or send for service. Warranty is in ur hand thumbup.gif

If you don't want to do anything that might harm the phone, bring it back to the seller and ask him to check what's wrong. If he cannot do anything, he should give you another unit. Just my thought. They won't rugi pun since the unit got prob they will send back to samsung also.
