                  Yes, what an amazing spec., blah, blah, blah.....

                  ...noticeable by the absence of one crucial feature....

                  VOIP!!!

                  (And still not even on BADA's flagship devices). Therefore Bada is not so smart what a joke!) Spend, sorry, save your money elsewhere!

                      For all haters bada os isnt android and even if it have low processor it will run as fast as a 800 Mhz processor i have glaxy ace and wave 533 and even if the wave 533 have lower processor it is so fast and i am using it now in writing this anyway samsung shouldnt keep making so powerful phones like SGS2 they still make low processors smartphone there must be a big choices of phones so customers can buy from and for the bada os its so good so smooth and its so easy to use but you wont like it if you love apps thats why i have a galaxy ace

                              This is not a Android phone which is very resource hungry, not to mention that the phone got a pretty lowres screen, it's probably faster than most 800Mhz droids out there.

                                  while wave 2 or wave 1 is ~190 Euros in online stores, this phone wont sell much...May be, it is the NFC chip makes it pricey littlebit..

                                      Well, this is crap and expensive. With 200 euros within two months, I will buy an used ip4, or I can get a new SGS and an ice cream sandwich as desert, lol.

                                        it's nowhere near a good phone... if it was nokia people would be all over it saying how crapy it is... but nooo, sammy can't go wrong... XD
