    Overall a very nice piece. Using it since 3 months. The only glitch I faced is with Sound/speaker, I don't know whether it is a hardware or software issue since I have bought it - sound went off 3 or 4 times - so no ring tone - no music - I tried everything - restarting, removing and putting the battery back etc etc - no use. After a day or 2 it starts working again !!!

            Mobile-review shows that the new screen is as good as the one in Wave 1. But the problem is that the phone is a real brick, even bigger and heavier than Nokia N8.
            Wave 1 size is the maximum for me.
            And because of the great success of Wave 1, I bet Samsung will make this one more expensive.
            Wave 1 is so great, wonder what Wave 3 will be, will be difficult to improve it.

              1.There are lots of Java based Apps available for Wave, So instead of paid Doc editor, Cud we install any such java based Doc editor app,
              2.Sony ericsson X10 MINI PRO's Bluetooth function is a torture for the buyers to make them search for appropriate FW for its Bluetooth to work, is ther any issues with Wave similar to this..

              Thats it., and Thank u For ur Reply Buddy, Hav a Nive Time..

                                        Hello Wave users! I have this Incredible device for 2 days and if you could help with a few answers i'll be very greatfull:
                                        1. I don't find the Digital Compass function;
                                        2. When i connected it to my PC on mass storage option, i found that its memory was less than 1.5 GB (aprox 400 MB) according to the GSM Arena specifications;
                                        3. When i tapped on Navigation button, it said: "you must insert memory card to run application"! I realy must buy a memory card of 4-32 gigs to be pleased by its Navigation and what's the connection between memory card and Navigation? I know that the navigation has 30 days trial version and it must work in this period!
                                        4. The videos on You-Tube are very bad, blurry and not seeing on the entire screen! I looked for some settings to solve this problems but i couldn't find anything!
                                        Please somebody reply to me! Thank YOU very much!
