Very positve I find the speed of the phone. It reacts always afloat, even after some applications were installed and run in the background are still open. Some stuttering are however to remember even when the beautiful effects. When delivered Android 2.3 installed. An update to 4.0 is the hardware platform but certainly possible - Samsung has already announced. Unlike my old HTC Magic, which needed to start over 1 minute, the Galaxy W will start within 15 seconds. The screen is nice and thanks to the good resolution also very legible. With appropriate apps can also be good films play on the screen. Thanks to the jack output, any headphones can be connected here. The camera takes really good pictures - Thanks to the photo light in closed rooms with little light. A strong color change (reddish / greenish tint), I could not tell. For a snapshot, it is sufficient in any case.
The voice quality when making calls in the Vodafone network is super. I've noticed no difference to my previous phones. The reception is not worse than with my old phones in rural areas (SonyEricsson k800i and HTC Magic).
Now the most important feature: the battery life! Currently (after one month use) itself is 2.5 days ago. At 50% load goes with me to a sleep mode, which reduces the screen brightness and deakiviert the Datensync. Thus, the battery lasts a little longer. I am quite happy with this value.
What me negatively stands out is the Positonierung the USB charging port. The top of the phone is behind a small sliding door. I want to use my mobile phone in the car as Navi. The GPS and constant backlight requires a lot of electricity, this is only possible with a car charger. Now, however, depends on the cable once across the mobile phone and pulling the plug by 90 ° or 180 ° upright bent at the socket. I hope times, that makes the long run nothing ... It is beautiful in any case not, especially because of the spiral cable is also always tidy train it. Why because the connection has not been not laid down as in the other models is not clear to me.
Unfortunately, also as of January 2012 is not to buy vernünfigtes accessories (car mount). On the Samsung side no Accesories will be listed for this phone. So you have to rely on support from third to give because it has no great choice.
Summary:
+ Nice design and good workmanship
+ Bright display with sufficient resolution
+ Telephony properties (network and voice quality)
+ Software Features
+ Other hardware (CPU, RAM) - the mobile phone is fast enough for its applications

- AC adapter jack on the bottom

Short Update (25.01.2012):
Have just received a firmware update. Since this update, the perceived speed has improved significantly. With the old Android firmware it has wiggled when changing from one app to the home screen from time to time. Also there were sometimes delays loading on the home screen so that it was up to 5 seconds lasted until a widget reappear. These problems have been fixed with the firmware update. I am really satisfied with the cell phone.
