Hi, new here and interested in getting this phone. After skimming through both threads, I have a few questions: smile.gif

i) Phones sold by Lycus Trading are stated to have 2 years warranty. Are they like aaronac's as in 1 year by Samsung and 1 year by another company?

ii) Amroth said his battery is made in Japan and finished in China. This is a sign of AP?

iii) Are all apps automatically installed into internal memory or some apps can be installed into SD memory?

iv) Would rooting cause void of warranty? As in, can they detect phones which have been unrooted?

v) How's the camera compared to, say, Sony Ericsson's 5MP camera?

vi) Last question.. Anyone know if Huawei Honor will match Galaxy W pricing-wise? Cause the former seem to have better specs..

Appreciate your responses, guys. Thanks smile.gif

1) I just called up Lycus Trading. <----- Easy isn't it? wink.gif  He confirmed 2 years warranty from SEP smile.gif
Ah thanks! I also pm'd him, but a bit late. hehe. Anyways good to hear.

Could be. I don't know. I got official 1 year SME warranty. Judging by the box and accessories, I doubt that mine is AP set (after years of getting cheated of people selling me recon nokia, AP nokia and recon blackberries, well, thankfully I learned.)

SE usually have better cameras on their phone. Don't really know why, sensor maybe? Though, I read review in GSMarena that S2 camera outperform the SE Arc 8MP with the hyped up Eximor sensor.

Quality wise, it's nice and clear enough as long as your picture has good exposure to light.
Good info. As long as battery works fine, for me if made in malaysia also no prob. tongue.gif

On camera, yeah I think SE generally have better cameras too. Since no one's complaining about the camera except low lighting exposure, so should be fine by me.

May get this phone soon. Thanks guys thumbup.gif

Heello world! New W user here! Just got mine today. rclxms.gif

Now for the tricky task of learning all about the things it can do... hmm.gif

Real nice to have the whole weekend to work out this fella. Though I predict I'm mostly gonna use it for surfing and minimal gaming.

Have to put on the baby gloves for this one, my last phone I just tossed around lol. sweat.gif
