seb, 26 May 2010can you check once more if you still have wave in your hand... moresorry man, i made a mistake with Galaxy S. I think only windows mobile and android have smart dialing. Poor Wave doesn't have it.

    ego, 26 May 2010ad the techradar review - so it doesnt have flash after all???The techradar review is not correct, YES IT HAS FLASH. Do not rely on that review, please refer to other sites as that one appears to be heavily biased

        scoopyscoopy, 25 May 2010what kind of smart dial you meant? it can do both names and... morecan you check once more if you still have wave in your hands... becasue I found this in techradar hands-on with wave : ''However, there's no smart dialling here: if you start typing in a number the Wave will complete it based on the numbers in your phone book; we'd prefer it if it worked out what names we were after using predictive text, like the HTC Legend, but you can't have everything it seems.

        so it seems there is no 'smart dial' by the names, only by numbers...

          scoopyscoopy, 25 May 2010what kind of smart dial you meant? it can do both names and... moreyes, I meant this kind of 'smart dial' like windows mobile phone, or android devices like HTC DESIRE (just directly from a keypad you dial the name, like you would start to write this name as SMS text).

          i really doubt if (among all smartphones) only iphone doesn't have a 'smart dial' as defined above. just for example : what about N97mini, or other Symbian 5th edition? smart dial is not available there...
          anyway thanks for your kind answer for my question.

          regards,
          seb

            [deleted post]I don't think a multinational company such as Samsung would be racist by not distributing the Wave to the Middle East. What would they get for being racist? In business, money talks louder than anything else.
            I'm sure Samsung has its reason for not distributing it to the Middle East now.
            Don't be too naive to create any racial issue here.
            Cheers~

                [deleted post]I dont understand how they are racist if they dont wanna release a phone in a certain area, im sure later they might do but ther gonna aim their main launch at their biggest market europe. Anyway if you want the phone so bad i'm sure its not that difficult to order it to kuwait

                    Misleading review almost abandon my little Wave. He must be iSheep instead of a good reviewer.

                        at least on paper
                        and there's youtube and others which prove their words are wrong
                        never give them attention

                          That techradar "Preview" not review is thw most Biased preview I have ever read in my life. I think he played withthe phone for 5 mins at based on those thing he was complaining. I mean he does not even know how to remove home screen!!! He should have wacthed youtube first so he would have gotten the idea. Not that it's that hard. He was just closed minded.

                          and why should he post a "Preview" when the phone is already out and name it "Review" when cleary he was using the FEB 13 prototype unit.

                          Again, most Biased "preview" ever. Techradar must be working for apple
