      Have this phone for 2 years, best one i had, everything is great. But obviously as i predicted Bada won't be very successful, so my next phone will be the Galaxy S2 mini (if it ever comes out !). But i am in no hurry to change, cannot see anything to my liking now.

        ithehappy, 20 May 2011Finally I sold my Wave two days back. It was a good phone. ... moreI have had sgs2 and sold it ,,it is too big for me.It was a flawless device but i tried it so much especially with having my fave concert hall setting which is why ive had all these sammy fones..

        Ie s8530,i9000.i9100 and of course this.All good screened ,good audio/video/cam/battery type smartphones.I dont know what to do i wish the s8500 had a pull out keyboard and Android.

        At the moment getting my concert hall settings from sammy g600.I have the money here but what do i buy.

        I used the i9000 successfully with darky 9.5 Rom but it had no led flash,so i am just stuck unless they bring out i9100 mini ..

          hey please any one can tell me about its ram how much it is? thanks

            Finally I sold my Wave two days back. It was a good phone. But it had one single moderate firmware upgrade in one year time from bada 1.0 to 1.2, even that isn't much of an upgrade, having T9 Trace and Dolphin 2.2 Web browser is nice, but it's not worth the wait for an one year long update.

            Happy journey to the remaining Wave owners, hope bada 2.0 will come someday for Wave S8500.

            Going for the GS II i9100 as soon as it releases.

                  Wmv, mpg,avi & 3gp are video files that Wave cannot play if you are not going to register to Divx website.

                  All of these video files will play if you do so.

                  Hope it helps...

                  God bless.

                        Hi Wave 1 users,

                        I was on the Samsung Wave forum site earlier (using my phone, connected to WiFi) and clicked on a .jpg wallpaper to download. It gave me a "Unsupported Content" alert. I don't understand why. Any similar experiences?

                        Thanks!

                                Chandru, 19 May 2011Thanks for your feedback, i have buy in Chennai Poorvika Mo... more@Chandru............Plz chek the resolution of the video. If the resolution is too high it will not play otherwise it will play in your device. Wave S8500 supports most popular formats like AVI, MKV, WMV, 3GP, MP4, Xvid, DivX..etc. Make sure to register your phone with Divx to play Divx videos

                                  Some cool features are not shown which stand up on comparing with something like Samsung Jet S8000.
                                  E.g.:
                                  Display is oleophobic which means smudge-free.
                                  Primary camera supports slo-mo video recording.
                                  Seconday camera is a videocall camera.
                                  Additional features dont show fake-calls - not generally useful but cool at times :-)

                                  On the minus side, the 2GB internal memory is not all RAM.
