For me 5.3 is quite weird. I'd rather go bigger for something like 7.7 or go smaller for 4/4.3"

7.7" seems nice, but I think 10.1 is juicier drool.gif

Isn't that the point of buying an 'original' set?

Having the privilege of sending your phone directly to Samsung for warranty claim instead of relying on the slow service of shops. You're at the 'mercy' of the shops if you get an AP set as they could always refuse to send it for warranty claim maybe due to the hassle or $$ involved, and then BS you with 101 stories.. doh.gif

So... this phone is left with 1GB of internal memory to download apps? How many apps roughly can it download?

I hear my friend saying that it's better to install apps in the internal memory instead of SD card for full functionality?

Just now went and check out the ram usage.

Around 350 ram is available for us to use. But thing is that 170+ was used up even though there wasn't any active applications in the background.

I used the browser to surf 3 websites[desktop version] and it ate 100mb+ already. So total ram available was already almost full sweat.gif

So what was the 170+ ram used up for?

SGW has 512MB RAM, once you boot up the phone, a RamDisk will be created and filled with critical OS files in the root folder (/). Leaving only 351MB for used.

Then, Android OS and other components will be loaded into the memory. This is what taking the 170MB RAM.

Browsers in desktop have been designed to use memory lavishly, on the other hand, Android app are more concern about memory. But need not worry if browser is taking too much RAM since all modern OS has Virtual memory concept. That mean, if not enough RAM, part of the storage can be used as RAM, but it will slow down tremendously of cause.

Do not worry if your RAM usage is high, that mean Android is caching your favourite App. Unused app will be suspended and if continue to be unused, will be map to a file if there is a new App require more RAM.

Ahhhh that's pretty informative. Thanks a lot! Humbly request TS to pin this up in the first post notworthy.gif

You have this phone right? How much ram usage is the 'limit' before you feel some lag?

We get around 350MB to use.

170mb used up for Android OS etc, so we have left 180MB.

I opened up the browser and was surfing 3 windows it ate 130MB+ if not mistaken...and I could feel some lag already hmm.gif

I use "could" coz some people might think I am too confident to say that.

But really, I was surprised, Arc-S was a bit smoother than SGSII. Both owners are my colleagues.

Hoho saw it already http://www.lowyat.net/v2/index.php?option=...d=5682&Itemid=1

But didn't state any price sad.gif

I think if 1 year contract, the price won't be any good. RM899+ 1 year contract?

Maybe I get prepaid tongue.gif
