They have this phone on display in Gardens @ Mid-Valley so I tried it out today.

I am so impressed. The S-LCD is good, I like it better than the SGS2's S.AMOLED because it has the same resolution but more natural colours.

Also I like the design, the contours and curves feel more... natural?

According to this GSMArena preview, it's S-LCD.

Also the salesman tells me it's only RM999 ?
That's bloody value for money when you compare to other 1GHz+ phones. Incredible S still selling for 1.5k+.

The main thing stopping from buying this phone is my doubts about the call quality and the SMS sending failure issues. I don't actually call or SMS people much, prefer to use WhatsApp.

But I always imagine that someday a crazy killer is chasing me, and I'm stuck in a poor reception toilet, and I call for help using my phone but the person other side cannot hear me properly.

Er, who are you replying to? I use Maxis for the record.

So far any Maxis users have any problems with call reception, voice quality or SMS?

I'm using iPhone 4 right now, got the infamous home button problem.
But at least call quality and SMS no problems.

But I still need (want) a new Android phone to replace my aging HTC Hero. That's why considering SGW.

Thanks for the feedback! Since I use Maxis and GSM almost 90% of the time, this gives me more confidence about this phone.

What's your Carrier?
Are you using Edge/3G?

Edit: Replaced GSM with Edge

Edit: False Alarm! I tested again and realized it was because I was swiping between the first and last homescreens >.<

Just now I was playing with a demo unit and noticed the homescreen swiping isn't as smooth as the Applications menu. Think I will be installing LauncherPro if I get this phone.

Never mind false alarm, wasn't swiping properly.

I don't like the SGS+ design, although technically the S.AMOLED screen is better and bigger.

Still don't see many review for the SGW. I really want to see what GSMArena has to say.

I agree, the Galaxy Note is too big for me to use a phone. I see how it could be a smaller, more convenient tablet though.
