    Anonymous, 14 Mar 2012Hi Sherry Hope you have visited that site and downloade... moreHello anonymous,

    Have you got a name? well yes, I've tried nexus custom firmware but i don't like it cause they removed lot of stuff like yahoo, hotmail messanger, default ringtone, wallpaper it doesn't look so professional. It is bada so must look like a bada phone. I love elite rom it is fast and it has call record and front camera activated. But still elite rom has bugs i can't use social hub and can't be able to configure my email clients. So at last I revert back to official firmware XXLA1. Tell me what kind of firmware you are using now?

    Thank for your reply

      Hey @ samsung why not let Nokia do a bada system phone it would give others a chance to.see.just how good bada is and you could see what ever you might need to change by some body else using that.system Its worth a try.what would you.have to lose from TobyRich

          Forget the phone, bada 2.0 gives no improvement:
          - hanging touchscreen input, often you open the url-link, when you intended to scroll
          - little improvement of "page too big error"
          - google maps so slow that you can't use
          ....
          So it looks like android now, but doesn't work like. That's all. A great pretender in beeing a so called smartphone!

                    hardware and -timewise it is the most brilliant phone of all time! but Samsung ruined it as soon as Android came TRULY out (Galaxy S e.g. Wave with a bigger screen).
                    and they kept F'in up a good phone with a half-ass bada2! as a loyal Samsung fan since 2005 i'm finding Sony Xperia sola a lot more pleasing, than to put up to another Samsung "promise-no-promise-no-"half-ass-POS-that'll never see an upgrade again!"...

                      yesterday i updated my wave 8500 to bada 2.0, it is useless and i plan to revert it back.

                      no deactivation of conversation view
                      poor camera quality
                      no profiles
                      bad sound of camera
                      poor performance of touch
                      complex to use
                      too many home screens
                      i dont see any improvement in gps

                      it may be good when samsung launch it officially in pakistan as they may have fixed these bugs in last 1 yr.

                            I miss Profiles and Equalizer "inside" the Music player.

                            It seems my phone is having ramdom issues though. Which is a bit curious. First it was the lock key, now the home button. The audio quality was bad, then suddenly it became different, then it's back to "bad" again after XLA1 update. I did the update OTA. the file size was only 6mb. What the....

                            If only I could find a phone that's worthy a replacement and won't burn a hole in my pocket. LoL.

                                i was perfectly happy with my wave until i updated it with the latest firmware. usually when I update it makes minor changes. This update has totally changed my phone. Can't get messaging off conversation format, can't find profiles to change to driving, my phone switches off mid conversation if i touch the volume button on the side and now It only has vibrate, no sound. Biggest mistake updating my phone because now i'll need to buy a new one.
