Nokia Lumia 710, 800 and Nokia N9 Compared
The Nokia N9 and the newly launched Nokia Lumia 800 share similar polycarbonate body but what ticks inside makes a whole load of difference. So what’s the difference and similarities?
Apart from having Windows Phone 7 Mango on the Lumia 800 and Meego on the N9, they have different screens (3.7″ vs 3.9″), processor (1.4GHz vs 1.0GHz), weight (142g vs 135g) and NFC Support (Lumia lacks NFC). Another interesting point to note is that while both are having the same 1450mAh battery, the Lumia 800 has more talk time but lesser standby time compared to the N9.

Samsung Galaxy W out now for RM999
UPDATE: Galaxy W is bundled by Celcom from RM328. U Mobile to offer as well in early December.
IMCC has announced the Samsung Galaxy W for an affordable RM999 in Malaysia. The Galaxy W is a mid-tier device in their new naming convention and is actually a replacement for their current Samsung Galaxy Ace.
Despite being a mid-tier device, the Galaxy W is no slouch as it runs on a single core 1.4GHz processor and it has Android 2.3 Gingerbread installed. The front has a larger 3.7″ S-LCD display with 800×480 resolution and internally comes with 2GB storage and 512MB of RAM. For imaging, it has a 5MP camera with assisted flash that’s capable of shooting 720p HD videos. There’s also a VGA camera at the front for video calls. They have also thrown in a rather generous 1500mAh battery as well.
For RM999, the Galaxy W packs quite a lot for less which puts other expensive rivals to shame. Seems like Samsung is able to give HTC a run for their money.
