        Guys plz note that the update is available on kies now... BUT BUT BUT. its not the one tht every1 is waitn for 1.2 It is the 1.0.2 Its just a small update where hardly any difference is seen, battery same, touch same, speed almost same, only email part has been updated and there is option of phone update in settings, which u cannot in 1.0.2, u will be able to do it in the 1.2 version which is launching in india late january or feb... Even swype which every1 is waitn for is nt availabe in this version.. It will be available in 1.2 which we will be getn very l8. U have a option to manually flash and update ur phne, bt tht option is damn risky.. If by chance some step some where goes wrng, ur phne can be dead forever.. Then even the service center wnt help u cz uve broke the warranty terms of manually performing it.. So dnt try to do it.. Nd keep waitn...


        Nd plz note that 1.0.2 and 1.2 have a vast vast difference.. 1.2 will solve 100% drawbacks whereas this is solving only 20% bt for sure somethng is better than nothn

                      The samsung wave has a known issue of its loud speaker failure. In case u bought a new samsung wave phone and the speaker is not working than you better get it replaced for free. Its an hands on experience. The loud speaker on my phone died in 3 days from the date of purchase, got it replaced for free and now it works as a jem

                          We cant update 1.0.2 through Kies(some 16mb problem) which is available in India. Bada 1.2 is always delayed. What the hell is Samsung thinking ???? Bada is going down BIGTIME. Whereas froyo,gingerbreads r all over the place. We need bada 2.0 ASAP!!!!!!

Super-AMOLEDs also have better lifetime than regular AMOLED and are very responsive to touch - even better than the iPhone's display)

                                  some ordinary audio chip vs WOLFSON audio chip wm8994 ( best audio chip ever build in some phone !!!!!!!!!!!!!)-one of the most reputed experts in the acoustic domain.
