I don't know how popular it is outside of Malaysia/Asia.

We spend RM800 - RM900 to buy this phone. With 800 USD, you can get an Iphone4s in US. Low/mid end product is definitely not as popular there as here.

Anyway thanks, I think thats the last question. Will wait for some announcement from banks before actually buying the phone
*

Point being in the US, most people buy phones with the plans on contract so their phones are heavily subsidized. Given 800USD, I can get myself 4 Galaxy SII with a contract each.

Midrange phones are usually free or very cheap with plans because the contracts tie people down for 2 years so most would opt for a higher range phone which is more value for money in the long run.

And this phone may not be as popular in the US because it simply doesn't exist there. Samsung doesn't sell it there but given the response from XDA Developers forum, this phone is gaining quite a fanbase.

Did it to demonstrate to a customer when I was working at DiGi 360 last weekend. Interested in buying the W but wasn't sure if the screen was tough enough so I did a live demonstration. He signed on for a 2 year plan with the phone immediately after that biggrin.gif

So you're from DiGi or you worked for DiGi? Mind explain the Gila Internet Sales? Just to clarify. I got the idea myself but just to make everything clear. Regarding the first payment. RM68 means what? RM500 advance payment means what? RM568 we paid when we take the phone will be used to deduct for coming bills. Right?
*
I was working part time at DiGi during the iPhone4S launch.

I'll try to explain from what I know, the RM500 advance payment is basically payment for the device. Then supposedly your monthly commitment is RM68, then every month the RM68 is deducted from that RM500 you paid until the debit is finished and then only do you have to pay for it properly.

Well, that's as I know it. I may be wrong however. Better to clarify with a DiGi center.

For the first time i had flashed a phone.
Just flashed a galaxy ace with Cyanogenmod 7.1 [Unofficial] by BehradGH
HOLY SHIT IT SO F@#KING FAST AND SMOOOTHHHHHHH  shocking.gif  shocking.gif  shocking.gif
Its like on a Iphone  nod.gif

previously this phone was struggling and really lags to even play angry birds, now its just smooth
like on my galaxy w.  thumbup.gif  thumbup.gif  thumbup.gif
I really f#$ked up my gf's phone when i updated her phones firmware from froyo to gingerbread 2.3.4, makes the phone ULTRA LAGS SUPER SNAIL SMALL.
SAMSUNG IS AN IDIOT for releasing this update for ace. vmad.gif
now i dun give a sh*t if ICS ever comes out for galaxy w, cyanogenmod is the way for the future.
no more stupid firmware updates from samsung.
I cant sleep well now until arco68 release a stable version of the CM9 now after what i see it can do.
*
Samsung: We don't give an update you complain, we give an update you complain. laugh.gif

Normally, flashing a 3rd party ROM would be better than getting the official ROM because most of the useless bits have been stripped out making for a faster, leaner experience.

no need. my previous Ace, rooted, go to Samsung to update to Gingerbread, they even tell me, if you update, your root will be gone... i say it's ok.

If I'm not mistaken, updating would break root. hmm.gif

CyanogenMod (CM) 7.2.0 on GB 2.3.7 n CM9 on ICS 4.0 will be out by arco68 n his gang at XDA.

Oxygen is just like CM7 a lighter side but with arco68 advice to the developer.....more CPU power n performance  will be achieved using CM....smile.gif

Still yummy enough laugh.gif

Guys, i have been following this thread and I am most likely going to buy this phone. When i follow this thread , it seems like the Galaxy W is full of problems ?

I hope this is not the case. Anymore satisfied users of Galaxy W here ? Put your hands up ! smile.gif
*
*puts hands up*

Can't say I'm not satisfied. I haven't experienced much if any problems for my unit. I'm guessing the problems happen on some bad apples and doesn't affect all the units.

Well, except for the occasional low volume from the earpiece. But otherwise, very satisfied. thumbup.gif

DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit [v3.0]

has anyone do this before??
i mean...root...haha

i know it can be unroot when we want, but is it harmful to root/unroot?

and...is it tre after unroot then can claim warranty?(no issue with dealer)

btw, i receive the warranty sms yesterday, is 2 years,good!
*
I think all if not most of us rooted with this method. It's easy and fast. There's no harm to rooting, in fact, rooting brings more advantages for you since you have more control over your phone.

Please take note that Galaxy M only with 3.2mp camera. noob enough. ==

If I give you a 13MP camera with a shitty lens or a 5MP camera with a high quality lens, which do you want? tongue.gif

It's the same with the EeePad Transformer's 5MP camera versus the 3.2MP on the Galaxy Tab 10.1. The SGT still took better pictures even with lower pixel count.

1GHz dual core > 1.4GHz single core overall. And the GeForce ULP is very decent itself.

aikss.  sorry for "short sentences". noob compare to SGW as it's 5mp.

of course I know about those bla bla things. you now are comparing diff brand of Eeepad and Galaxy Tab, of course that's a different.

now SGW and SGM is within same brand, different pixel of course make some different.


*
Same brand but you'll never know if they do cost cutting or decide to be nice and put in a different sensor. But honestly, don't have that much hope for it either until we see some sample pictures. sweat.gif

Nice! Will do that. I am now trying to make the ROM a little more non-stocky... I did the following:

1. YES! REMOVED TouchWiz!
2. Using Zeam Launcher
3. Go SMS Pro
4. ICS Wallpaper
5. Roboto font biggrin.gif (thanks!)

The memory usage is even lower! Now pending approval from Zeam and Go developers before I can release it

What about a new lockscreen? biggrin.gif
