Everything else seems to be fine except home screen. Is it for kids? Those widgets and their icon size make ugly combination. Its not looking professional.

    how can i set the email synchronisation to synchronize every 3 hours or something? because now its connected 24/7 to the internet and synchronizes like every second. and it sucks the juice right out of my battery.

        Neil, 05 Jun 2010what you're saying makes sense :)... i too am excited abt ... moreI dont need gps as such and perhaps if i did i would buy a proper unit but there is one big problem with some fones or gps units and thats the screen in bad lighting (bright sun,,reflections),,surley the wave would excel in that department..

        I too am into the multimedia and apps in a fone and with the spec on the wave its future proof for a good while yet with state of the art screen,,bluetooth 3 and b/g/n/ wifi ..I have not seen many n-routers yet or bluetooth 3 devices or such fluid video without stutter so its pretty special without the operating system onboard..

            turkey chops, 05 Jun 2010google maps is a java app an wave is java enabled so google... morewhat you're saying makes sense :)...
            i too am excited abt this phone, just a bit let down by the gps option (1 month only for some samsung properity app)
            if they allow google maps then no probs.. mobileburn.com video review (part 2) showed a disappointing gps software... however i'm definately fascinated by the multimedia features of this phone :D

                Neil, 05 Jun 2010Does this come with Google Maps; or are we able to install ... moregoogle maps is a java app an wave is java enabled so google maps should be downloadable.I will buy wave even tho galaxy s may be better but i hate android its not really as open source as bada and wave has flash and video light..android is still a mess to me and market is just set into categories but unless you know what your looking for its just massive never ending list..i had htc hero and x10,,hero is better but x10 is just a bigger mess with bugs and needs a big upgrade..

                  Arnie, 05 Jun 2010Various: n8 have beter camera while wave have beter cpu,gpu... moreI have said N8 is most useful phone. It didnt mean N8 is better than wave or vice versa. Go to page 3,4 and read my first comment. You will get the true idea. By the way N8 has hdmi opposed to dlna and I think its more useful. According to the people who have N8, it can play divx flawlessly. But not sure about xvid. But if N900 can play, so I think it can also.

                        Anonymous, 05 Jun 2010it's come with bada os default... And version is 3.0I think you have some confusion. Wave dont comes with Google Maps, neither it is available in the Bada Store.

                          Why is it so hard to accept that N8 is the Best? Best among Nokia handsets... And Wave is the Best. Best among Samsung handsets (save Galaxy S)... If you're not a fanboy, it is easy to choose. If you are, you have NO choice...

                                    AP wireless router is UNIQUE!
                                    FM transmitter is nothing special and nothing new.... And, this is analog transmission and noise!
                                    Better is bluetooth digital transmission... I have this in my car... I hate noise radio!

                                        I don't what's more powerful, my headset or my Wave. What i know is the loudness and superior audio quality.

                                        Music player is the best.
