Read this device was coming out in UK yesterday (22nd), alas it was only a misguided rumour, shows the intense interest in it though here and probably mainland Europe too. Looks like we'll have to wait till June to see just how good SUPER AMOLED really is, all other specs are top drawer for this handset and think if display is as good as they all say it will definately persuade me to buy it rather than rumoured iphone4.

i just read a piece on the techradar.com site with todays date (23-04-2010) which says that samsung have contacted the site to rubbish claims that the wave has been released or is is even instock with 3rd party on-line retailers.they say they are glad with all the hype but the wave will not be released until "JUNE".not April or even May but June.man thats even ages away.looks like a lot of retailers jumped the gun on this one then.man what a downer.im so ready for this phone!!!!!!

It's only of real concern if you're on the phone for long periods of time, I don't use my phone much other than really necessary,so it doesn't worry me.

Me, 23 Apr 2010In Europe Max is 2 W/Kg ;-)That's because Europe they use a 10 g sample as the weight to calculate the ration, while US uses a 1 g sample. This make the whole process quite different and despite the fact that it would seem proportional, it's really not. Therefore you cannot compare US SAR number to EU ones. This phone get a 1.0 in the US, but may get different values in Europe.
Just so everyone knows, there is no conclusive evidence tying the cellphone radiation to health issues. However, more research has to be done on this. One problem is that you should prevent children from being overexposed (as much less is known about the effect it has on them). Otherwise, don't worry about it, whether the reading is 1 or .75 or 1.3, it's not going to do anything

people complaining about 3.0 bluetooth are clowns.3.0 is good cos its faster and dont worry if your your friends dont have it cos one day almost all phones will.obviously when its something new some-one has to be the first to use it.if it had been nokia then all of you nokia butts would be saying how fab. they are.give it a rest.good on samsung for being the first.
