        it's arriving tomorrow morning :)
        I am a linux user and i need a "smartphone" but my principle is to give no money to apple nor ms so samsung open source os is very very welcome here...
        ...and the handset itself is well built and stunningly overspec'd for the price (£325 next day delivered)
        I see this handset/os just perfect and the fact there are already 60 or more free apps it's just a bonus imo...
        I would buy it even without app store at all, ah, i tried it in a shop, before writing bad things about this phone, get it in your hands first, you might be surprised...

You... moreUnfortunatly N8 is a Symbian phone, I have N97 and I want to change it because the OS is not good, I hope Symbian 3 will be better, if not, the N8 could be the second great disapointing Nokia phone, even with a 12 mpx camera. I will change my N97 for the Samsung Wave.

            What a pity. Would be the perfect phone with OS Android 2.2 instead of Bada samsung only.

                        Since Bada is closed source I Will choose N8 over Wave. You cant download applications from other source except Bada store. Besides Screen and Fast cpu Wave has Nothing to boast against N8. Cant wait to get hands on N8.

                            The Bada, as Samsung defines it,
                            is not an operating system, but
                            platform with a kernel
                            configurable architecture, which
                            allows the use of either the Linux
                            kernel, or another Real-time
                            operating system (RTOS) kernel.
                            [7] The Linux kernel is the
                            preferred choice for
                            smartphones, while RTOS is used
                            for cheaper feature phones, due
                            to its smaller memory footprint.

                                Pinoy here, I got mine yesterday from VMall in Greenhills. It only cost me 18800 with the inclusion of a 8gb micro sd though im planning to have it replaced with either a 16 0r 32 gig card. I was disappointed though for I learned that samsung retracted from producing the 8gig internal memory version of the wave, the reason of which i dont know. Nonetheless the phone is superb in all aspects! youre really in for a treat when you buy this phone.
