I never found any problems like waht you are facing...every day i am playing Brucelee ...

I agree that Kies is shit and apps are less..

but the growth rate in app market is clear indication that they are going to handle it nice...

      If this phone had a 8 MP camera also... no other phones (IPhone, Nokia N8, etc.) could have been able to beat this for sure...

                      I tried Opera Mini 5 on Wave and it's very slow and uglier than Wave's built-in browser.

                      Opera Mini 5:

                      - text is not crisp and sharp
                      - load slower
                      - no multi-touch

                      Dolphin Browser

                      - super fast
                      - text and images are so sharp and colorful
                      - multi-touch
                      - flash is supported but slower


                      WAVE SUPER AMOLED SCREEN, It's sharper than a shark's tooth, crisper than a frosty morning and you can even use it in bright light without squinting or shading it. It's wonderful for displaying high-quality photos and watching HD video content over Wi-Fi. OH i forgot the most important part, IT HASN'T GOT THE YELLOW SPOT LIKE iTrash all over it, and you can make a phone call whatever way you hold the phone.

                        - very good battery life
                        - Mobile tracker option ( it will send sms to a mobile, if you lose your mobile and someone put their sim card)
                        - SOS sms activation
                        - scratch resistance screen is really working.. no need to put screen protector like other phones.
                        - voice recorder and fm radio are working well too
                        - multitasking is very good, end key kill the program, long press menu key for task manager
                        - DLNA works well with PS3 for pictures, musics and videos

                          the phone is a major powerhouse no lag and the display is amazing cant even compare to iphone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
                          the sensitivity of diplay is amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
                          damn responsive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                          wave has it's built-in privacy lock and it can lock the followings:

                          1. messages
                          2. my files
                          3. logs
                          4. contacts
                          5. calendar
                          6. memo
                          7. task and
                          8. emails.

                          You can't see them until you open with the password. You can't see the stuffs in computer too when you connect with usb until you open them with password.

                          Those who are saying wave is a copy of iPhone for those the are is
                          CLEAR NO.

                          Wave is unique in its hardware and software.

                          IPhone is the only mobile in the entire industry that is made and assembled cheaply but sold at a high price.

                          Apple make nothing of their phone. They just use others technology. Perhaps Samsung makes iPhone, saying this won't be wrong. Heres a small prove:

                          LCD by LG.

                          Processor by Samsung.

                          Battery by Samsung.

                          MLCC (multi layer ceramic capacitor) by Samsung.

                          Varistor by Amotech a small korean company.

                          FPCB by Interflex another small korean company.

                          IPhone is entirely assembled in Foxconn that has a very bad reputation on assembling and no other mobile company assembles their except charger.


                          So is it clear now iFans?

                          No other company copies iPhone.
                          Honestly no one gives a damn about iPhone.

                          This is IPhone which copies and uses others technology.

                          Wave Rockzzz...

                            wave supports MKV , FLV HD .. That means you can download video from Youtube HD then copy to your phone directly without converting :)

                            Samsung can make anything possible! Wave is just an exemple!

                            Video - Excellent in all aspects
                            Music Player - Nothing gets near it (Rock + Bass Enhancement) WOW!!! And this setting works even with Bluetooth.

                            Music Player: Rock & Bass Enhancement combination is the best.

                            You can have Rock & Wide combination for lifetime setting. Wide setting will not go back to Normal for this combination. Also this is the loudest combination.

                            DNSe rocks even in smartphone.
                            Audio, Video and Display are unbeatable...

                            This is the most user-friendly phone..
                            It has amazing graphics in Gaming.. (Much better Than iPhones)
                            The Best Screen Ever and Amazing User-Interface!
                            The Bada OS Is the Smoothest And Fastest In The World! And Samsung Promises they Will make a lot More Apps in Near Future!
                            Wave does everything u could ask for.. and does it Very Well!
                            You will NEVER REGRET Buying this phone!
                            AMAZING!!! Real Talk...

                                    Lol this is my dream phone,smartphone,cool camera,720p HD,1Gh proesor,3,5 mm audio jack,Divx/Xvid,all connectivity options you want,very snappy UI,Super AMOLED is gorgeous,plenty of apps to come,sleek and stylish design and perfectly sized for pockets with scratch resistant screen,1500 mA battery(I think it should do the trick).
                                    People need to remember that the mp camera on a phone does not make the phone better. 9/10 people never print the photos of thier phones..... they upload them through the phone to Facebook/Bebo/Twitter who decompress them to 1.3mp anyway!
                                    Perfect example of a phone with a 12.mp camera is the pixon and the Satio which didnt sell as usrs are not willing to pay the price for a phone with such a camera. Whether the phone has a 12mp or a 2mp camera it makes no difference...........other than price

                                    1. bluetooth 3.0
                                    2. super amoled screen
                                    3. smart os for all (super bada)
                                    4. ARM Cortex A8 1GHz a.k.a hummingbird (snapdragon is inferior on energy effeciency and cannot do a full 1080 HD recording.)

                                      Marcus, 26 Oct 2010I've been using my Wave with my old Sandisk 8GB class 4 car... morei have a class 6 16gb and it works fine for me.maybe its the make of the card or maybe unfortunatly there is something wrong with the card itself.ive read many posts here about high class cards and they dont seem to be a problem.i dont beleive that its the os thats causing the lag.

                                        BTW Any Andrea Corr lovers in here? Now I know this is not the place to talk about women BUT

                                        Good on ya. Good on ya...

                                        Anyway who wouldn't!

                                        Just thought I'd mention it & waste some space on Gsmarenas servers. I'm sure they wouldn't mind a few kilobytes extra inreturn for some nice thoughts an all.
