            THE best multimedia phone i have ever seen.

            Screen : Simply awesome.
            ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Build : Very nicely built.Its more stylish than seen in photos.
            -----------------------------------------------
            Speed : The 1ghz processor shows for itself.The phone is fast.Images load really fast.The apps too load quickly.
            ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Touch : This is my first touch phone.....but i have tried iphone,nokia x6,xperia x10 etc..It seems to be on par with them.
            ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Audio quality : Crystal clear and u have 5.1 sound with headset.
            Loudness : Almost as loud as n73.
            ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Video player : Pure class...it plays 720p x264 files smoothly without any kind of problems....i am talking about bitrates above 2000kbps.
            ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Photo : Nice quality in light.The colours are gud.Night time photos are same as the other big nokias and sonys with the exception of those with xenon flash.It would have been perfect with a xenon.
            Video recording : Kewl,the best i've ever seen on a mobile...but yeah...there's scope for improvement.
            ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Battery : After last charging,its exactly 2 days, and 13 hrs...and its still got i think another day's life in it.
            ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Gaming : I really hate mobile games...coz u know....it destroys our keypad and more importantly....our fingers...But this one's kewl.Playing asphalt 5 on this is really kewl.U just have to twist the phone ryt and left.And gaming experience is made amazing by the superb display and graphics.
            ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            GPS : It comes with google maps.
            ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Internet Browsing : I am still learning to browse efficiently using the touch screen.
            ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Software : It has all the multimedia apps v all need....The samsung app store is growing by the day.They released a nice dictionary on 15th.The inbuilt picsel viewer is fantastic for viewing office files,pdf,etc....but presently no editing software.Personally,I need a Voip app. and quickoffice.And yeah, a gud medical dictionary.
            ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

            Thats all...if u got any doubts...feel free to ask.

                Mobilemaster, 16 Jun 2010Hi guys! I would like to know, how good is their first B... moreTo me the best thing over Android is better battery,,graphic equalisers ,,good camera and fluent 720p video recording taking up 90MB per minute average..I have been using wave as my main fone today and found it fine,,voice quality is fine and screen pretty good in sunlight..I had to top up and did it in town center with no hassles which if you knew what i am like with touchscreens it was a miracle..I am using a wrist strap so i dont drop it when handling it..

                Ive had symbian for 7yrs now and compared to it its simpler,,you go to app store pick your app and d/load thats it no cert checking and out of date apps and having to roll back time..its the only bada fone so apps in store are fully sort of gauranteed to work..There are some apps not there yet but its early days..i had t-mobile pulse for a while and android is still out of sorts and bad multimedia,,even x10 has no equalisers,divx/xvid support etc..

                That my thoughts its got nearly everything i want it would be first class for me if it had a slide down t9 keypad with d-pad..played ashphalt 5 even tho not a gamer for an hour last night and destroyed most of the city but it was fun and fluent just tilting the wave and hitting brake pedal put me into some good slides...On mine i have a dice shaker so you shake wave and 2 dices bounce around the table until they stop..other games are diamond twister trial,tetris refresh trial,parachute panic,edge,guitar hero 5 trial,brick breaker trial,crazy penguin trial and pyramid bloxx trial..

                      Hi guys!

                      I would like to know, how good is their first Bada OS phone? It is better than Symbian, or Android?? I don't own this phone, so I can't know this. Thank you for the reply. :)
