      vito4finn, 19 Dec 2010Here it says internal memory is 2 GB but mine has around 38... moreThe internal memory of the wave is 2gb which is divided into 3 parts. About 1gb is reserved for installing apps, 600mb odd is reserved for the phone functions and its only about 400mb that is user accessible...

        I've had this phone for a good 6 months now and I'm still mighty impressed by this beauty.... I also have an iphone4.... It would be way too unfair to compare the wave to the iphone or any other phone really coz this one's a class apart... Bada is still in its infancy but looks promising coz it seems to integrate the best features of ios and android... Also Bada 1.2 is real nice ( installed the leaked version ) Although I wouldn't advice amateurs to try flashing their phones and be patient and wait for the official release... Bada 1.2 also brings the Sype like feature in messaging which is real kwool.... Although the out of memory error still occasionally seems to haunt inspite of the upgrade... Cant wait for Bada 2.0... Wave is no iphone killer but it sure gives the best in the business a run for their money... And really at the price that it's offered it really is a steal coz its hardware is at par with that of the iphone 4.... The only reason Samsung has stopped the production of this phone is coz of the shortage of the brilliant Super AMOLED screens in the market.... Lets just hope that Samsung doesnt give up on the OS and provides us with regular updates.... Bada, with just a lil nurturing surely is here to stay...
        Cheers

                First of all learn to have some patience. How can you compare the Application Store of BADA which is hardly a 7 month old OS with Symbian(8+ years), IOS(4+ years) & ANDROID(2 years approx).

                Apple Iphone4 doesn't support bluetooth file transfer & can only run music files using iTunes & cost more than 2.5 times the cost of Wave.

                Android is still having their own issues & Symbian is nowhere now as a competitor. I think most of the people have seen the sales performance of Nokia N8.

                Having a more count of applications doesn't makes someone the best, infact the quality of application does. For ex- In Apple app store you will find around 100s of different Cigar Lighters Applications which only gives a look that you have different cigar lighters in ur mobile but does it really an application to be used & getting proud of??

                I only wanted to say that every OS is evolving. BADA is the most polished OS launched as compared to the first Launched IOS or ANDROID.

                I know some application developers who used to develop applications for all the mentioned OS & as per them BADA is the most exciting & promising OS & is equally as good as IOS or ANDROID. Just wait & watch to see BADA growing!!! :)

                Anonymous: I have the java version of skype on my Wave & it works fine on it even when it runs in the background. I am optimistic that soon they will integrate call making facility through skype.

                    [deleted post]he is here only for bashing the wave and samsung but he is using an indirect way,"wave is great but bada is bad"
                    every body knows that bada in its first 6 months proved itself as one of the best operating systems,and bada 2.0 will be something extraordinary.

                        ANCK, 19 Dec 2010Hi Frenz, pls clear me this problems... It Failed after ... morebada 1.0.2 is not that good ,it has only slight improvements, I didn't upgrade my 1.0 firmware because samsung removed the call recording feature and also removed the ability to install the cracked apps.
                        any way bada 1.2 is coming in January with much improvements.
                        try to visit samsungfirmwares forums ,where you might learn how to downgrade your firmware.

                            I bought wave before 4 months I am also having Iphone4
                            Wave plus ponts:
                            Very good disply and touch sensetivity

                            -ve point
                            Bada is hopeless
                            no games
                            no softwear updates
                            firmware updates takes years

                            overall good phone with worst OS
                            it sucks

                                    @ ANCK ..
                                    try factory reset ..

                                    To hard/factory reset your Wave, type *2767*3855# into the telephone dialer. Note that once you type this code into your Wave, it will IMMEDIATELY begin the reset procedure (that's why I didn't enter # in the screenshot above); there is no confirmation. ONLY type this code in when you need to delete all personal data on your Wave.


                                    n remove the sim card and micro sd card before doing this..

                                      Touch responsiveness of samsung wave is unreal and unbeatable !!!!!!!!!!!! OMG soooooo smooth !!!!!!!!!
                                      This is without competition the fastest mobile phone ever made, and the guilty is BADA-probably the best operating system today.

                                      So fast,so responsive,screen is something most beautiful i have ever seen in my life,music quality is out of this world,watching hd movies is...


                                      I had so many phones but this is something that you must feel and try.After this phone, you will never want to have some other phone in your life.Bada don't have bugs and lags at all, it's so fast and beautiful.

                                      This phone has wolfson dedicated music chip wm8994 ,but also 3d graphic chip powervr sgx 540 with score of 90 million triangles/sec...he leaves ps1, ps2 and psp behind.Wolfson music chip is soooo powerful, you will trow your i pods away.
                                      The quality of music is something best i have ever heard in my life.

                                      this phone is freaking monster in beautiful steel case.wave eat all other phones alive.you must try this phone and see the power and the speed that is beyond your imagination

                                      For me, the most imortant things in every phone are ESSENTIAL THINGS FOR EVERY MOBILE PHONE such as speed,display,design,easy of use,processor,ram memory,quality of video,quality of sound,smooth internet,pocketable,made from metal,durable,great battery...

                                      In all those categories wave is NO 1 !!!!!!!!!


                                      wave is sooooooo popular.this phone is out of stock everywhere.It is easier to find diamonds these days then this phone.I totaly understand all those people because this is monster for such cheap price.Everyone around me has this phone.Wavemania are all over the world.Samsung has destroyed other companies with this amazing phone.Bada is the operating system of the future.Screen is out of this world.Speed is from some other dimension.Beauty is uncomparable.Built quality is just masterpiece.
