Nervous, 18 Oct 2010Samsung s*ks big time. I was trying to do a simple job: to ... moreYes, you are right, the Kies software from samsung is just pic of s**t.

the earlier version of NPS is good, you can send the sms or connect the internet through bluetooth, it is very easy.

I changed my new samsung due to not possible to send the sms through pc/ laptop.

I wrote this problem in there forums at UK. but no results till.

even all cheaper mobiles offering pc suit package to send the sms.

    first of all this thing will not be succesffull as samsung wave 1 because the main factor is the price samsung wave 1 is best in the price but if i have 375 euro why wont i go for samsung galaxy s :) rather than this thing just for the sake of screen?

              Samsung s8530 is truly extraordinary. I like the features on offer. By the way, when are roughly available in Indonesia?

                Great hardware handicapped by a half-baked OS. Teething problems I guess - looking forward to an update. Considering the h/w specs, the price - would be a perfect candidate for Android Froyo... If only :(

                What possibilities, but an utter letdown with Bada on.

                          Fail Samsung. I still prefer the better and sharper Super AMOLED screen on the original Wave. And the price :P

Replacing the Wave 1 be... morea lot of people have been talking about the super amoled shortage but i dont really beleive it.samsung have just announced the i500 for the states and the galaxy-k for south korea and they both have super amoled screens.i think its just to try and make more money by adding a bigger screen like the qalaxy i9000 and then stop making the wave-1.

                                  Samsung s*ks big time. I was trying to do a simple job: to send a SMS via PC suite.Since it was a very long one I've decided to connect my phone to PC . The message was written in notepad.My intension was to copy/paste from notepad to PC suite's SMS send option.Man, it took me 30 min! 30min!!! what the h.?!It hanged up my phone!!! Finally I gave up.A simple job that I was used to do with my old nokia (via pc suite) in 30 sec! The only way I was able to send it was by copying the txt file to phone's storage, then open the file on phone, open a new sms, copy/paste it from word to sms "window". This is LAME!This is my first Samsung and my LAST one! I paid 500euro for this phone and they (samsung)are UNABLE to provide a DECENT software to work with it.Pc suite it's laggy, not user friendly,slow and most important: DOES NOT DO WHAT IT SUPPOSE TO DO!It takes lots of second to copy a relatively small image from pc to phone and vice-versa.TOTALLY useless software!!! BTW, Kies is ever worse! FU,Samsung!

                                    Very Very Good handset but i still believe that Samsung is lowering the value of its Brand with it . Every new product reduces the value of Previous product in the market . Wave 2 will reduce the value of Wave 1 .
                                    If there is No differendce between the 2 handset other than just the screen , then i should say that its very Foolish of Samsung .
                                    Samsung created Badaa which is a very elegant and advance operating system than Symbian , But Samsung should not Devalue its Product the way Nokia Does , rather increase its brand value. I hope Samsung Understand that

                                      The arrival of the new Samsung Wave II will reduce the price of the original Wave(still costs ~320€)...That is the only reason I'm looking forward to its launch!! ;)

                                        Pointless buying a bada phone when you have the new Windows Phone 7 released. Tried the Samsung Omnia 7 today and It's a stunning phone to use.
