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.

Thank you very much for your response...
I think I'll be going for Galaxy W...not because I have a small hand but I'm really into crisper images...

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).

> In reply to Prospective Buyer @ 2011-12-07 18:52 from PEGw - click to readConsidering 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.
