Only Samsung Elite Partner(SEP) will give 2 years warranty. The rest will have the standard 1 year warranty. So be alert when purchasing your phone. My advice is to get the 2 years warranty instead of the 1year as the price gap is very small. 2. Current lowest price I have found : RM888 (1 year SME warranty) RM899 and RM900 (2 years SME warranty) 3. Be sure to check the camera when purchasing it, because for my unit, there are 2 dots of dirt inside the camera lens and it can only be seen after u take a picture and zooming it (more obvious if photo taken on a white background) 4. As for the RAM, only 351MB is available as the remaining is reserved for the OS. 5. As for the storage memory, it is partitioned into TWO sections. One for data/media file storage(1.7GB) and another one is for system/installed app memory (0.98GB). I believe that as what review sites had stated, the 4gb memory is a marketing gimmick which means that the 4gb represents all the storage space which includes the 1.7gb for data/media storage + 0.98GB for system/installed app memory + 1.32GB± for the Gingerbread OS and Default apps + data. 6. "Oh no! When I plugged in my Wonder to my PC, it says driver is not installed. Help me!!!" Download and install SAMSUNG kies from samsung website or from here into your PC then it will work just fine. http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/mobileso...SOFTWARE.MANUAL credit to cyewe PM me if you guys got other info's This post has been edited by gastacopz: Dec 7 2011, 11:19 PM

Newbie Senior Member 4,928 posts Joined: Feb 2008 From: /K/opitiam Pak Hang Status: Permaban	More info bout technical matters 3 Layers memory You must bear in mind that new phone from Samsung and LG offer 3 layers memory for phone which is internal memory, internal SD (/mnt/sdcard) and external SD (/mnt/sdcard/external_sd). where other or old phone have 2 layers which is internal memory and external SD (/mnt/sdcard). when download gameloft games, data file is save at default directory ( /mnt/sdcard/), it is save to external sd card for 2 layers memory phone but comes to 3 layers phones (SGS,SGS2 and SGW), it save to internal sd, so only 2GB can use for games. ( For us the SGW users) must root to use 3rd party apps to mount , or swap your memory (internal sd and external sd), or patch ur games apk file (change the default data directory save to mnt/sdcard/external_sd) only can move data files to external sd in SGW, bear in mind. credit to CAC@MBO This post has been edited by gastacopz: Dec 7 2011, 11:03 PM
