for those who are planning to buy microsd cards, you might or might not want to get a big one because you don't get to use your microsd for game data such as gameloft's data unless you root. You might be wondering why. Its simple - the Galaxy W (along with other similar samsung phones) have 3 different storage locations:

- Internal Storage (phone storage)
- USB Storage (/mnt/sdcard)
- External SD Card storage (/mnt/sdcard/external_sd)

Most games including gameloft game's store their data to /mnt/sdcard which is where you are only limited to 2 GB of it. Say you install asphalt 6, then need for speed hot pursuit - that takes up about 1 gb already..you're left with another gig for other data.

Your external SD card will NOT be used for this purpose and can only be used for gameloft data if you root your phone and run a script to do some mapping or linking (if not mistaken).

Therefore, your external SD can mainly be used to store videos, photos, music and other data files that u wish..and also you could increase your internal storage space by moving from internal phone to SD card (external SD card). that's all you can use the external SD card for. So don't think you could install like 10 gameloft games when you get that 8 gb or 16gb microsd card - you CANT.

Please take note of this and TS - please put this up in the first page so pple are aware of this.

how long do i nid to charge the phone the first time?

Question about Sygic, can they use offline map from malsingmap?

Then, if I buy from Sen Heng worth ar? 

some say sen heng claiming warranty is difficult? i not sure coz i never claim through sen heng before....but honestly...less than 1 year u will feel your phone outdated already....surely next year there will be replacement for galaxy w...& so on....so i think surely u will be changing your phone by the second year already...most to most u will keep it for 2years max then sure u will switch for a newer model right? so i dont see why we need 3 years warranty unless u plan to use it for long term...

actually wat's the average file size of a gameloft/ea hd game? this internal memory issue is kinda worrying me..
