      i have 8500 too...do you know it have shorten display light life which Samsung is fixing in i9000Galaxy?...and Wave 8500 have memory processing problem...says NOT ENOUGHT MEMORY-CLOSE SOME APLIVATION?-that means Wave 8500 cant run 2 programs in same time without any warning message about having not enoudht memory...and this!!!!Samsung S8500 Wave Comes with features micro SD- The Samsung S8500 Bada Wave is finally hitting the shops but there seems to be a problem. The micro-SD cards that ship along with the Samsung S8500 Wave package seem to be infected.

      Samsung S8500 WaveThe S8500 Wave ships with a 1GB micro-SD cardmicro-SD card which accidentally has a malware program called slmvsrv.exe on it. It is a self replicatingself replicating virus known as Win32/Heur and appears with the AutorunAutorun.ini file.

      The virus will begin auto installation when it is inserted into any PC having the autorun feature enabled.

      This does not seem to be just a specific unit problem and may be a problem with most handsets. We are hoping to hear an official statement from Samsung either confirming or denying this. source

        KSR, 14 Nov 2010I want to share one gr8 quality I have observed in WAve's m... moreAnd you think it is a great quality? Of course the flash must have lower power when using Macro mode, that is just basics. But what is bad is that the flash has not low power in standard mode when the subject is close, and then it makes the picture all white. That is a bug in Wave camera, hopefully will be corrected in Badba 1.2

            GrimReaper, 14 Nov 2010i have a question. could wave theoreticly record in 1080p, ... moreFor recording 1080p videos, theoretically u need atleast a 8 MP camera. So theoretically wave can never record videos at 1080p. Bt heck, who needs 1080p, for me even 720p is more than enough. I record most of my videos at 480p.
            Though u must know one more ultimate thing that WAVE meets all hardware requirements to play 1080p videos so may be some day u will get to see it.
            Bt the kind of software support samsung is known for, i suspect that day would ever come. Just see the kind of softwares chosen by sammy in the bada developer contest. Seriously disgusting!
            Also i dont find many useful softwares in the application store. Most of them are garbage. But still i love my WAVE. So i would love the day when a phone would be called a WAVE KILLER!!! And lets agree to the point that N8 can never be a WAVE KILLER. Be it with the so called SPB SHELL or whatever it is. It might add eyecandy but what about speed and performance???
            I suggest and request all guys and gals to use this term WAVE KILLER in there posts as frequently as they can, whenever mentioning a phone which comes anywhere near Wave specially in this price range. Only then it will truly be GLORIFIED.
            LONG LIVE WAVE, LONG LIVE BADA!!!

                    Wave is a joke compared to NOKIA N8. N8 offers free hotspot through Joiku, a better camera, true multi-tasking, all the important apps, and with the SPB shell the same pretty interface. Check it out...

                              Dear Friends all over the world.
                              I have had an opportunity to hang around with the Wave S8500 for a while. The best part of the Wave S8500 is that it has a highly responsive touchscreen, an extremely fast processor, the display of the Samsung wave S8500 is a real treat to your eyes. Its gives you the feel of a high end LED TV and when it comes to the audio quality of this phone no one can compare any other handset with this one. The audio chip-set of the Samsung Wave S8500 is made by Wolfson electronics one of the most reputed experts in the acoustic domain. The most amazing thing about Samsung Wave S8500 is the loudness of sound from its internal speakers, it is so high that you feel as if you are sitting right in from of a mini home theater system as it surrounds with each and every single detail about the content that you are watching or listening. It's not a crap or a joke but a fact that I personally experienced on my own. The battery life of the Samsung Wave S8500 is so amazing that you can watch 2 full length movies non stop or even more than 2 movies. Don't just go for my word's go and try it. And with the launch of Wave S8530 Samsung continues its legacy of quality entertainment to its most beloved customers who trust them.

                                  Wave isnt available at any store..So,I just did a quick search on the internet n found that few pieces of wave are available in online stores of india..

                                  ebay -Rs 22500(under bidding)

                                  infibeam -Rs 18343

                                  rediff shopping -Rs 18490

                                  indiaplaza - Rs 17500

                                  indiatimes shopping -Rs 18460

                                  naaptol.com - Rs 17500

                                  So, grab these before they get out of stock..
                                  n as far as i know wave S8500 wont b available coz of the shortage of s-amoled screen..thats y they had to go for waveII..even all the under production super amoled screens are booked for iphone4,new galaxy s..
