Can someone tell me if you turn your phone completely OFF at night, the alarm will ring or not in the morning ?
(i heard android phone cannot do that, even if most non smartphones can do it)
Thanks

AnonD-33229, 08 Dec 2011thanks for the reply.. i'm going to use my smartphone mainl... moreGlad to be of help. Still, it would be prudent to visit your local store and have someone demo the actual unit for you (if that is possible). Nothing beats "seeing is believing" especially for purchases such as this. :)

Gabs, 07 Dec 2011From my experience with my own Galaxy W, phone call quality... morethanks for the reply.. i'm going to use my smartphone mainly to do everything, keeping on schedules, calls, texting, browsing, fb-ing and taking photos, as well keeping in mind the budget thingy.. so i think this may be the right phone for me afterall.. so the Phone Arena's review really made us all quite worry about this phone of issues like call and camera quality.. so thanks for clearing those~ ^^,

AnonD-33350, 08 Dec 2011the screen is lcd but is it scratch resistive/proof? please... moreWell, I cannot say exactly whether it is scratch resistant or not, I would not want to try it on my phone. :) But the screen actually looks sturdy - I ordered my screen protector from Amazon yesterday, and I have been using this mobile phone since Monday, I think, and without the screen protector - so far, no scratches! :)

AnonD-33350, 08 Dec 2011the screen is lcd but is it scratch resistive/proof? please... moreI've had mine for just over a month now and the screen remains scratch-free. To be sure, however, I bought a screen protector and had it installed on my phone. No more worries.

Buyer, 07 Dec 2011Yes, it was from Kies :) Perhaps it has got something to do... moreThanks for your response! Just checked and got the upgrade to 2.3.6 via Kies. Seems pretty zippy but I'm still not certain what changes it brought. The autobrightness option still missing!

Propective Buyer, 07 Dec 2011I see...
Thank you very much for your response...
I think... moreIn fairness, though, the Galaxy W is not much of a looker (looks rugged to me, but that's how I like it anyway... less noticeable, as thieves also very much like shiny things as much as we do :). If you're after something sexy to look at with decent specs and a not-so-large phone size, you might want to consider the HTC Sensation S instead.
Given that all other items are almost at par, I'll still prefer my Galaxy W due to its power for its smaller form factor compared to similar phones, but of course, each to his/her own preferences.

Buyer, 07 Dec 2011The Galaxy W's front camera, you mean? You can take picture... moreI will also confirm, you CAN take photos from the front camera (the one facing you). Not as clear though, but if you're on travel and don't have a mirror, this will do. :)

AnonD-33254, 07 Dec 2011I'd like to know was the update to 2.3.6 official via Kies?... moreYes, it was from Kies :) Perhaps it has got something to do with your location? I am from the UK, so maybe we got the official release earlier than other parts of the world? That is just a probability, though.

Prospective Buyer, 07 Dec 2011How would you rate the clarity of the screen? Can you compa... morePS. it would be better if you actually see the two in comparison when you visit a local shop (very hard to gauge just by description of reviewing owners such as me).
Coincidentally I was also choosing between these two exact models when I thought of replacing my old phone a month ago, and both looked very clear in demo (the SL though has deeper blacks and nicer contrasts than the W, while the W has crisper details than the SL).

Prospective Buyer, 07 Dec 2011How would you rate the clarity of the screen? Can you compa... moreConsidering that both are 480 x 800 in resolution, images on the Galaxy W looks crisper because of the higher ppi (points per inch) because of the smaller screensize (252 ppi vs. SL's 233 ppi). For those with smaller hands this is a better choice especially for one-hand typing/Swyping.
SL though has the advantage of easier manageability for those with larger hands because of the screen estate (ie. less mistakes when typing using the onscreen keyboard), and the larger screen has its perks especially when watching movies or browsing.
