                            [deleted post]I think GSMArena based it on the price points and specs to match. Wave is good enough contender. Better price, better speed, better battery, better screen.
                            Specs-wise, N8 doesn't stand a chance with the likes of Galaxy Ss and Iphone 4s. What only sets N8 apart is the HDMI, USB OTG, 12 mp camera with Xenon flash and free navigation. And it won't be long before other manufacturer started shipping phones such features.

                                  I'm using 8 gb. Some posters (probably not pinoys) mentioned about Wave handling a 16 gb class 2 or 6 Sandisk cards without any problem.

                                      Also, even if the Samsung Wave models in the Philippines say they only support 8GB external memory; can I still use a 16GB or 32 GB card?

                                      I think it's stupid that just because it's a third world country, they limit the memory to 8GB. What's up with that?

                                      Has anyone in the Philippines purchased a Wave that says on the box and manual it only supports 8GB? But tried using a 16GB or 32GB and it worked?

                                        [deleted post]"...What have Nokia done to them???"

                                        Maybe GSMArena's trying to cut Nokia some slack after other sites gave N8 less than favorable reviews. :-) ;-)

                                        Let's just take a phone for what it is.

                                        Based on the videos comparing Wave and N8, Wave came out better. Hard to determine the amount of details with a compressed video though.
