how do you know galaxy w has peripheral only transciever and galaxy mini has both!??
Because:
1. Had this phone had a USB OTG Transceiver, Samsung would have trumpeted it since the beginning.
2. NO review ever mentioned USB OTG.
3. Before ICS came out from Arco68, there has been *lots* of gifted devs, *none* produced a ROM with OTG support, even when Samsung has released the W's source code.
4. Apps capable of detecting whether USB OTG Controller (combination of chipset *and* transceiver) exists all declared that USB OTG capability does not exist.
5. There has been ZERO reports of anyone connecting a USB Flash Disk to the W, while some people reported that the Mini can read USB Flash Disks.
Final words: If USB OTG is 'oh so very very important' for you, sell your W and buy another phone capable of USB OTG.
