    i found wave's brower works flowless on both http and https.

        Just a question if you put the wave in jeans pocket let say how does it feel? is it to big that hurts your walk or not?

            Just ignore 2SEE. He doesn't have wave that is why he said that. The only problem is N8 is not even release and he says it is already better... But who knows, it may be better hahaha... Well, 2SEE, we'll see...jeje

                Prashant, 17 Jun 2010At this price Nokia N8 is faaaaar better and superior than ... morebefore you say n8 is better y not try to check the performance of the phone with small processor and heavier OS the wont would be slow. xenon, 12mp and 16gb internal is something n8 is better. but other than those 3 wave is better... you'll see when you get your hands on the phone. and the biggest dif is the price tag atleast 30% more expensive

                  Prashant, 17 Jun 2010At this price Nokia N8 is faaaaar better and superior than ... more LOL! you buy smartphone, you only care camera 12Mpx? Ask you! ever you wish you have laptop with cpu pentium4, WC 12mpx instead cpu Core i7 and WC 5mpx?.
                  Symbian is good? oh no! if symbian so good, why N9 will run MeGoo Os?
                  Why don't buy 32 GB memory card with speed class 10 instead 16 GB memory (include) with speed class4. Are you sure nokia will give free 16GB memory card? oh no. nokia can't make memory card, they buy from other OEM.
                  HDMI? so sily, ever you think that, you want see movie on your LCD with a cable always conect to your phone? if you want make a private call? what will you do?. Wave S8500 had DLNA, with DLNA you can share your movie with highest quality to your LCD, Computer and you can do more...

                                Cannot understand this different spec for different regions,,ok they stop wi-fi in china models but except for language change for that country it should have exact same spec..if thats the case your wave should be cheaper then than were i am in uk..fairs fair.
