Sold off my rather KO Galaxy W (hangs multiple times a day) for this S Advanced, a few days ago... No regrets thus far, with that huge screen (that comes with auto-brightness) as well as a great camera and the variety of apps on the Play Store (although still cannot beat what I have on my iPod touch, lol!)...

And best of all, it has not crashed thus far!

Well, at least the S Advance solved the issues with the W, particularly the frequent hang-kei... OS is also almost exactly the same, which means that I don't have to relearn any new Android firmware, being mainly an iOS user... And price-wise, it's also moderate, being in-between the W and the S III (at an RRP of $1,299.00)...

But like what iamloco said, it's strange that such a good phone like the S Advance is not popular among consumers, many of whom are going for the III instead!

Maybe you can check the Garage Sales for any offers? There should be people who are selling their S Advance over there...

Yup, it was released around the same time as the better-spec Galaxy S III, which got everyone's attention instead... As a result, the S Advance was relegated to a bit-part role and in fact, I only discovered about this phone when playing around with it at the Samsung dealer in Digital Mall (I originally looking at the S III as a replacement to the faulty W!)... I don't see many banners or leaflets promoting the S Advance as well...
