    Nokia is only NAME for old glory of quality!!!

    10 reasons why is Wave better than Nokia!

    1. N8 - CPU 680 (A6) vs 1Gz (A8) - NO CHANCE vs Wave!
    2. N8 - Symbian vs BADA (speed test) - NO CHANCE vs Wave!
    3. N8 - NO LED for VIDEO - NO CHANCE vs Wave!
    4. N8 - VIDEO is 25fps vs 30fps (better CPU) - NO CHANCE vs Wave!
    5. N8 - old AMOLED vs Super AMOLED (you must see) - NO CHANCE vs Wave!
    6. N8 - only 256 mb of RAM vs 512mb - NO CHANCE vs Wave!
    7. N8 - 1200 battery vs 1500 - NO CHANCE vs Wave!
    8. N8 - NOT have mobile AP - NO CHANCE vs Wave!
    9. N8 - 360 x 640 vs 480 x 800 pixels - NO CHANCE vs Wave!
    10.N8 is BIGGER and UGLY and wight 135 g vs 118 - NO CHANCE vs Wave!

    you need MORE arguments WHY is WAVE REAL BEST ????

      What is the durability of Samsung phones? Equal, lower or higher than the Nokia? What is the experience of users of the brand and in particular, this model S8500?

        Quant, 10 Oct 2010Wavers! Please, I am finding it difficult to make a decisio... moreThe N900 is much thicker than the Wave! The n900 has a physical keyboard. The galaxy in a few countries have digital TV. The OS of each is different. The Galay, because it is Android, has more applications. I believe, and would like the user comments on this, that Nokia devices have more durability than the Samsung. Hope this helps in your choice.

            I have the original wave running bada 1.2 and it has made so many improvements. T9 trace (swype) input really rocks. The browser has improved and the general touch is a lot smoother. The ram management has improved as I can run heavy graphic games together (asphalt & Bruce Lee) and no more "out of ram messages" so far. The Multitasking is improved switching between programs and apps seems pretty seamless. The camera pics seem a little more sharp when viewed on computer. I think Samsung are slowly improving the Bada OS and for an OS so young it shows great promise I just hope Samsung support the awesome hardware in these phones but so far it looks like they are slowly improving the users experience with there first update, may it last for a long time.

            PEACE OUT

                          to all those who post bull shit against wave.wave is not discontinued.samsung introduced wave 2 only to meet the demand and to enlarge its wave family.

                                        hello wavers,
                                        its a false news written here in gsmarena by samsung hatters that samsung has discontinued wave gt-s8500 due to shortage of amoled screens.
                                        for your kind informations i want to tell you all that samsung is the only one and first manufacturing company who discover and invent more in screens for example lcd, led and now in future as transparent screens.
                                        samsung is only the company who manufacture and supply lcd and led screens to rest of the reputated mobile companies like nokia, sony, lg, black berry, motorola, htc etc etc etc.
                                        so please not belive in wrong and false news anymore.

                                        thanking you.
