Now I can say i got mad for this phone.
from first moment in Barcelona saw this phone every day(hour to be exact)thinking about moment to get my hands on.
Oh god!!
did anyone played God Of War:Chains Of Olympus on PSP?!
the game was damn good looking an IF Wave is 3%(more or less)powerful than PSP(like someone below)i can't imagine what kind of visual it will capable to show!so god help us all include all other cell phone makers(except MOTO and LG cuz i think these 2 aren't going to fail anyway).
when confirmed that this phone IS CURRENTLY IN STOCK swear god if it priced even above 1000$ will buy it sure.
Samsung for life.

    If ever I'm going to consider getting a phone with a new OS...I'll wait at least a year to know exactly where it was heading...I dont want to be a beta tester.

      I dont think this phone is out, i mean no1 has a handset yet and you would expect a bigger annoucment from samsung, I've found only 1 website saying they will have stock tomorow and to be honest i think they may have just made a mistake, my contract is running out next month so this will deff be the phone for me, above all else its the best looking touch screen phone i've seen

            Bada Boom Bada Bam, 22 Apr 2010No apps on this OS.. who would want to buy it???dude there will be over 100 apps by the time of release (but i think it will be more than 300 ) and some companies like ,EA games , Capcom , (wishing Konami will join too)and so on... ARE already support this hot set and you know the graphical processor of this thing is a PowerVR SGX540(By Imagination Technologies corp.) which can do 89m polys/sec and a 1Ghz CPU that kills every smartphone even PSP doesnt have this kinda GPU (with only 33m Polys/sec) and those baby iphones do only 28m polys/sec therefore we can say this samsung WAVE monster is 2.7% more powerful than a psp and 3.1% more powerful than an iphone GRAPHICALY and by the CPU...... u know its a ARM base CORTEX A8 1Ghz (also be used in samsung LED tvs) Power master Even that Snapdragon cant catchup with this splash monster so what do yu think samsunmg leave the young BADA to its own and sit back and watch it fall no Bro. there will be plenty of APPS for bada by the Q3 of 2010 mark that SO Is THIS GOOD to have This Phone Or NOT ?

                  really really excited about this phone. i have used only 3 phones before. but i had to buy 2 of them due to budget limitations mostly. the third one was bcoz i desperately wanted to buy a new phone and that one was the best for that price then even if it was a little over my budget.

                  This is the first phone which i saw and felt like i should buy this phone. whatever the budget. whatever the OS :P
                  in love with this phone :)

                    Hello
                    I knew it from some hours ago but i am still waiting for GSMArena's REVIEW of this sweet babe (god knows i have read the Preview more than 70 times ! YES its crazy but i cant help it) So will be a REVIEW there by tomorrow or NOT , (sorry) Damn , i will die till get the FULL Review
                    PLEASE GSMArena PUT SOME MORE TIME ON IT specially on CAMERA and APPS cuz in the preview that u guys put there before in terms of camera test in WAVE's 5mp pic samples was a little Pinkish in the middle of the photo , SO are they gone or what ?(and why the videos captured by the phone arent as nice as Omnia HD i8910) Then i will be thankful if you guys name some sites that have samsung Bada APPS...............OK
                    i guess im already talking (writing i mean) to much SO GOD BLESS bye till tomorrow (OH...Will it come with the Review ?)
