For anyone that sais that plastic phones feel cheap (which they don't), here's the reason:
Galaxy W ~ 114g -------------------> 250$
Optimus Sol ~ 110g ---------------> ~200
Your beloved iPhone 4 ~ 137g -> 500$
I don't hate on iPhones, those are just some facts, which in my opinion solve the mistery of "cheapy" feel. What more would you like from a phone in the 200$ price range? to blend(*troll*XD) and wash dishes for you too?
@skggila YOU KNOW WHY THIS PHONES SUCKS? most of the samsung PRODUCTS heat up and their battery doesn't even give you the day to day power for business or multitasking. Further more the features of this phone, you can have for a cheaper VERSION...like the samsung Galaxy -y AND GOOD HEAVENS, if incase your phone shows its PROBLEMS it will stay in the REPAIR CENTER FOR 2 months or more BASE FROM MY EXPERIENCE. So if I were you buy an Iphone or Nokia.
@Compicharilhis no they aren't normal. First of all Samsung makes low quality phones, 'Expensive' yes, outstanding? No! especially when it comes to battery features, but with their applications they are truly magnificent. You should sell your phone and buy a NOKIA or IPHONE that will truly give you an experience of a life time. Samsung has tons of products in the market, but in my opinion, nothing much changes everytime they make new ones.
@BeatbreakG Battery drainage was a problem with Android 2.3.1-2.3.4 builds. I can't barley use the phone for more than 1 and a half hour. With 2.3.5, I can heavily use the phone for 6 hours with full brightness and still get 25% battery.
Bought this at Plaza Low Yatt, KL for my Christmas present, in white. I love this phone! Malaysia price is MYR999 but u can get it cheaper at Plaza Low Yatt. I recommend this phone to those budget users! =)
I have a question,, whenever I use video calling,yahoo messenger etc.,, I am upside down and zoomed in to the other person's device? How can I fix this?tnx!
Buying for someone on a £230 budget, I decided to get the Galaxy S Plus over this: Galaxy S Plus has a Super OLED 4" screen (3.7 LCD on W), 1650mAh battery (1500mAh with W). Same camera & video CPU & GPU. So you trade the lack of a single LED flash for the better screen and battery life. The Galaxy S Plus is only £25 more online. Samsung's line up is sooo diluted and fragmented, and they really could do with concentrating more on quality than just churning out more nasty plastic designs.
interestingly enough this is basically the Samsung Exhibit II 4G from T-Mobile in the states with a better camera and a higher clocked processor. why they decided not to just make the Exhibit II just like this is beyond me, but it was most likely a cost saving measure
bullshit nick.. he's an arab. phonearena gav the review responsibility to an arab to make people prefer apples. and american to review for apples. i fucking hates apple
Hopefully this will arrive in the Philippines by the end of the year. I really love this phone. Category as mid range but looks decent and can perform what High-End phones do
i don't know which smartphone i should buy, the galaxy s, galaxy s+ or galaxy w? is there a very big difference between this display and that from the galaxy s? would appreciate some opinions^^
What's the best app for this? :D
