                Those are waiting for TALKING TOM for wave -- can download a exactly similar app "BADA BAR" through KIES from dutch store.

                  And yes, i haven't specified anything that only a phone with monster h/w like gs2 can afford. Most of those things have been in the air even with 300mhz phones having 64mb ram.

                    AnonD-382, 24 Feb 2012well well well!!! day before yesterday i flashed ma wave ... moreNo offence. Here is another face of the same coin.
                    1- you still can't download archives (rar/zip) or big mp4 files using the same dolphin browser.
                    2- color tone adjustment in video player is gone. So is mosaic view.
                    3- still no custom equalizer in audio player.
                    4- gps still takes ten-times more amount of time to lock than nokia symbian phones.
                    5- picture editing is gone (i dont know exactly, as i have never used this feature)
                    6- u can no more pause a video recording
                    7- widgets disappear on their own.
                    8- still no voip
                    .
                    Anyways i m on xxkl6, not keen yet to flash onto xxla1 as most forums suggest that there isn't a gr8 diff.

                        If you really did get bada 2 through kies update. What country you live in now? Pls confirm where currently reciding. That's really not hard to say, right buddy.

Try nexus rom custom very few bugs and performs very smooth. almost all hd apps and previous bada apps I installed runs on this FW. But remember not to run flash theme you won't be able to run hd games due to its limited internal memory. But all in all excellent FW.

                                  AnonD-22025, 24 Feb 2012hi anonymous ohhhh than thts a grt news for all of us frm... more@wanna update to 2.0: yes, am frm india and the firmware is stable - no crashes or lagging so far. Just checkd my previous version and it was KL6, not KL2 as mentioned earlier. That version was stable as well but scrolling had improved a lot now. Also I had the memory issue earlier when playing Earth and Legend, which is ok now. Kies indicates tat it is the latest firmware - so I guess its official.
                                  I'd got the firmware from badadownload dot com but not sure if u can still get it from there as multiupload seems to be down.
                                  Will post details of steps followed bit later as I'd made a note of them on another system.
