UzY3L, 12 Oct 2010If you're a blind Nokia fan, yes. I was too. Check out the ... moreI would say the biggest downsides for the wave, which is a nice device, are the following:

1 No apps
2 Not a Smartphone (it is a nice featurephone)
3 No Ovi maps
4 No Ovi Music
5 No service (Samsung)
6 No Xenon
7 No big ticket gaming
8 No HDMI out
9 No 12 Mpx Carl Zeiss Camera
10 No Gravity app

Again I like the wave, but it cant compete with the N8, not even close man.

Now it open and will show available music and keep adding in background, and even if having too many files, it will take 1-2 sec to show all albums

      The N8 is too superior compare to S8500 wave, that's why Nokia release their mid-end Symbian^3 smartphone the C6-01 to compete with samsung's Bada flagship.

      Wave vs C6-01:

      - cpu 1 GHz vs 680 MHz : 1 - 0
      - S Amoled vs CBD Amoled : par
      - display res WVGA vs nHD : 1 - 0
      - Bada OS vs Symbian^3 : 0 - 1
      - camera 5 MP vs 8 MP : 0 - 1
      - Video rec 720p @30 fps vs @25 fps : 0.5 - 0
      - 3G dualband vs pentaband : 0 - 1
      - hsdpa 7.2 Mbps vs 10.2 Mbps : 0 - 1
      - gprs/edge Class 10 vs Class 33 : 0 - 1
      - no USB OTG vs yes : 0 - 1
      - music playback 35 hours vs 2 days : 0 - 0.5

      .: S8500 Wave scores 2.5
      .: C6-01 scores 6.5

      Concl: mid-end Nokia beats samsung's flagship

        san, 12 Oct 2010no other phone has this much of features u can>>>&... moreIf you're a blind Nokia fan, yes. I was too. Check out the Samsung S8500 Wave. At more than half the price (260Euros new with warranty)than the N8 it's only downside (if you can call it that) is the 5MP camera. And trust me, you won't need more than 5MP even with a 22inch monitor.

If you have it on the table and just try to multitouch it doesnt really respond, was told it's some issue with capacitive screen and lack of grounding in that case.

                      soumen, 12 Oct 2010hi,what about the battery life? Are u getting at least 10 h... moreEasily 10 hours. That isn't even heavy usage yet and would probably go closer to 2 days like that. The battery life is very good in this thing. Nokia has really managed to find energy cheap components that are still very even in actual performance against other current smartphones.

                      As for the nickname "battery": You can do a full power cut off by holding down the power button for 8s, just like in computers and laptops, it equals taking the battery out. Symbian^3 is very stable though compared to earlier Symbians, though. As for heating, I have never heard that it would've been necessary to take out the battery cos it has heated
