CPU 1GHz
5MP
Buletooth 3
LCD 3.3
Battery is weak,
if in one day using buletooth and Camera together in end of day battery in empty
my opinion's this only objection.

    ac.phil, 26 Feb 2010if i choose wave i'm a elite person or i always want to hav... moreyeah I did! at first I thought it was a stylus, but then again, why need a stylus if the screen is capacitive? I mean....the sense, right? i don't believe it is indicated on the specs that there will be an antenna, or is there? hehehe

    but then again, TV on the phone which is a super AMOLED screen...hhmmmm...how would it look?

            Jaco, 25 Feb 2010ac.phill in your own opinion which is better wave ... morewell good for you to have an HDTV, that would explain as to why Beam would be out of the picture for you..but i've also read on the BEAM's thread that to view the projector movies or what have you, you'd have to be in a pitch black surrounding to maximize viewing pleasure, but nevertheless, having a projector is indeed quite a convenience and a plus factor for bragging! hahaha

            ac.phil, palagay ko depende sa kung ano talaga trip mo or yung lifestyle mo. If you are more on the elite type of a person then go for the WAVE, if you want pogi-points i'd say go for the BEAM.

            If i'd have the cash and would be within my budget i'd sure go for the Beam. I find it very interesting. I'd swap my StarWifi and add cash to get it anytime! hehehe

              in your own opinion which is better wave or beam?
              i am planning to buy a phone sometime in the future but i am confused with this two phones. wave is thinner and faster and i also want to try the bada os, in the reason that it is nice looking and has over 100 million games from capcom. but beam has larger screen for better viewing, larger internal mem, and better camera w/ 8mp, projector for nothing? ah can be used as flashlight and ?, running android (eclair),, a small difference but what do you think? ano sa palagay niyo?+_+

              Ill list the differences and i think for me...the wave is better. i will never use the projector on the samsung beam since i will just stream video via DLNA to my 52inc HD Tv.

              The wave has anti smudge which i think is awsome. Dont know about the beam?
              The 8 megapixel on the beam doesnt make it any better in camera quality than the 5 mega pixel,its only a higher resolution.

              The beam comes with andriod so obviously more games that you can play than the new bada platform. But the wave is faster which should result in better graphics games. They said the wave can do 89million triangles via a sony psp only doing 33million.

              Wave is thinner, bluetooth 3. My next buy :D.

They even announced the new memcard they are working on and i believe it will soon be out in the market! what's the largest capacity of memcard for mobile phones out there? 16GB? 32GB? I've heard that samsung went ahead and created a larger capacity! So i do think it is possible for them to make a battery to hold up such a phone with those mighty specs! And if indeed Sammy would be able to do so, all the other brands will just bow down in utter defeat and awe! hahahaha

                                for me, other important aspect is the web browser. what is the web browser that bada os will be using? if it has the one like mozilla firefox or the one that can save pages as .html and run utube video then it is a good one.
