My dog mix breed wor...... But looks like a small sized husky/german shepherd. But when my dog puppy, he looked like the dog in that picture there.

Later admin scold me talk only about dogs, this phone how? Kena kau kau... cry.gif My dad uses an Ace, I see Galaxy W specs, price and everything looks like its Ace successor. Ace had lotsa problem from day 1. Now with gingerbread, not so bad edi (no more SOD), but wifi quite sucky, and cos its ARM6, no Flash player.... and low internal storage for apps (but this 1 cannot do anything). And GPS is quite flaky on Samsung phones. No matter what people say, Ace had a sometimes reliable sometimes not reliable GPS. How is it on the W?

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)
