Chris, 14 Jun 2010From Samsung Philippines Thank you for mailing us. The s... moreWhat you asked Samsung Phils to confirm is whether the Hardware is the same globally. It if is, then there is nothing to worry. All FWs have English language. It should not be a problem for us (Pinoys).

From Samsung Philippines
Thank you for mailing us. The specifications on every phone may vary depending on the country which it was released. With regard to your inquiry on 3G capabilities, it was only stated on Singapore's site its HSDPA's speed; which means our model here has HSDPA as well. The main variation is the memory capability. Phones in both country doesn't have AGPS support.
Please refer to the specifications stated on Samsung Philippines website if you are planning to buy your phone here in the Philippines.
Thank you,
Samsung Phils.
also, i've talked to some firmware forums and it is said that the memory limits can be fixed in the FW.

hey guys I just wanna see if any1 else is getting the same thing as me, in that the more i use the phone the longer the battery lasts, i think its probably due to the fact the more charge cycles it goes through the longer the battery life. Battery life is genrally very good giving you a 2day life with moderate use e.g 30mins talk 7ishtexts 1 hour music 20 mins internet + 1 you tube video per day

i just bought this piece of mean machine yesterday at Sg Wang Plaza, KL for RM1699..with it i got 8gb micro sdhc card with preinstalled navigation tools (that i've yet to xplore),1 yr warranty & free another samsung h/phone (worth RM110)..initially the sales person offered a car charger but i told him that my car has a usb port, so i can use it to charge my phone, so he gave me the phone..
for my 1st review, i would like to touch on 2 things:
1)the double tap function - gsmarena told us that the double tap function is for opening smart search function..but actually it can open up a bunch of other apps too..u can change it in settings>touch (if i'm not mistaken)..so, i set it to open my music player & it did it seamlessly..so, for those who are groaning coz the wave didnt hv the music player widget, u can simply set it as a double tap function
2) changing the bottom 3 menu/icon - u can do so..go to menu,then click edit..u first hv to drag out the menu/icon from the bottom tray & place it on the menu, then only u can insert a new menu/icon..its as simple as that..
i've just recharged it for the 1st time..let's see how long will it take & i'll post other reviews/hands-on..to all wave users - enjoy it man..it rocks!..to those thinking of having it - stop thinking & just get it!..cheers..

Chris, 13 Jun 2010Does it have a 1 year warranty?Yes, but the sad fact is, you have to handle the freight in and out. Around 30 GBP one way, means 60 GBP. I got mine from expansys. Thanks God its working well.

The phone battery last 14 minutes and 23 seconds but the worst thing is this phone does not send text messages.
