        Is it available now?(i.e october 2010)? When I asked in popular stores, they say it is stopped and NOT available.

          Look at sammy 17500 android goes flat in few hrs with no use and 15oo battery,,BADA is total opposite of ANDdroid in battery stakes.

                I keep hearing people b****ing about Wave battery. Look at the fact, you have to charge iPhone constantly. Perhaps, 2-3 times per day with heavy usage? My Wave standby is 5 days. Normal usage is 3 days. Heavy usage is 2 to 2.5 days. I'm not a Wave fan. I just sticking what's best. I have N97, I do not even consider any Nokia phone after my (slide) lock key broke without any abusing. Unless they go for MeeGo and change that stupid lock key to a press key.
                So if you still moaning about battery life, you're doing it wrong. Do more research or buy another phone.

                  OK. So Nokia N8s did in fact use Samsung amoled displays.

                      i bought mine last week and its the best mobile phone ive ever had.at first i was skeptical in buying another samsung phone because 3 yrs ago i bought samsung soul its the worst.i cant hear my calls even if it was set to the highest volume.but with samsung wave it is really loud. the apps are fast and ownloading thru wifi is really fast eventhough my server is the lowest dsl plan.its even faster than my desktop and laptop.battery life aint dat good when downloading and surfing. but it is understandable because my laptop's battery is just the same esp. on games.very clear screen.can't get my hands off my new wave!!!

                          with the mDNie turned on you really notice an amazing change in screen colour quality.the greens and yellows especially.cant help thinking though that its gonna be a big power drainer.the only downside to it is that while it works great over all the phones features i have noticed that when writing a txt or a note or even looking at a page on the net the screen is so much whiter making the letters not as dark as before.kinda greyish almost.can see it being a problem im highly lite areas or outside even.so i guess its up to each person to decide between great colours or good writing visibility.
