i am torn between galaxy sl i9003 and wave.nope galaxy sl don have the same cpu+gpu compared to wave.its cpu+gpu is almost 10x slower compared to galxy s hence the wave too.its only upside is android.then agn it costs almost 100 usd more than the wave with an inferior hardware and camera(compared cam samples from gsmarena)but as i havnt used android before so i m cofused if to spend more for a phone which is less capable just for its OS.thanx for the reply bro and wud appreciate any more input.

    are u comparing the galaxy s with wave?????
    galaxy s has 4 inch screen with android.u better go wid it.galaxy s and wave are almost same but galaxy s has 4 inch screen and a slimmer body than wave.if u can afford GALAXY S,then go wid it man.

          Sammy is very bad in updating their OS. whereas the rivals Nokia, Apple, Android r great in this. they really care about their OS. they update the same OS according models. but sammy is totally reverse! they believe in marketing. that's why they continuous brings out new models with some tweaks! but FW update very hard to get. without this, this phone is a real gem. it can do everything which the others brand can & it's S-AMOLED graphics is top notch which others can't come even near!

            i dont knw if wave 1 is available anywhere.but if its available then u must be a dumb person thinking of buying it or not.JUST GO AND GRAB IT MAN.
            The camera is the best,even beats my sony cybershot both in pic and video recording.
            and ur talking about games??????
            dude,many of the games hav been ported frm iphone.they hav great graphics and many good games ,which are about 15-16 in number, are about 200-400 mb size.seeing at the size of the games anyone could guess the quality of games.i think wave is the best handset ever made.it has all the great softwares like gps softwares, games,office softwares,txt editor,connectivity etc. the video playback quality is awesome and the music is fantastic.
            I DONT THINK NOW U SHOULD HAVE ANY PROBLEM IN MAKING UR DECISION.

                                As per my knowledge Samsung is very famous in restricting such function to works in their mobile phone. Such as my last Samsung INNOV8 also having to face such restriction (regardless whether installed any 3rd party recording app or not, because Samsung is restrict it in the firmware level) where other Nokia Symbian based phone doesn't have such issue / restriction at all.

                                So actually I need someone to confirm whether such "Call Recording" function / feature is restricted on Galaxy S2 or not.

                                Thanks.
