Bsingh, 30 Sep 2010Friends : Please comment on the following points. 1)How is... more@Bsing,also, picture quality is subjective,to me it looks fantastic.I will give one point of advice tho,do not desaturate colors in settings;colors may look "too rich" in wave's screen,but thats cause we've gotten used to lcd monitors,it will look ok on comp screen.

      Alvy, 30 Sep 2010Nokia N8 vs Samsung Wave S8500 N8: AMOLED capacitive tou... moreNokia 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!
      (booth phones have IDENTICAL GPU = WAVE is FASTER because have GREAT CPU)
      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 ????

              1)How is the picture quality. Does the camera has image stabilizer, or the images get blurred if the hands are not completely stable while taking pictures.
              2)Is it possible to store contacts on outlook. OR to restore contacts from outlook.
              Many thanks in advance...

                            @Nik.thanx a lot.in my country the price difference between both the phones is only about 4000-5000.so i did not consider price as a factor. Moreover if Bada OS was so popular then Samsung would have included that in their Galaxy S. For me Bada OS is only an experiment done by them,so we are still uncertain about the apps it would support.

Another thing, every time I try to use the internet, it shows connection failure. Are there any specific settings for the MTNL internet & 3G services ?

                                    Alvy, 30 Sep 2010Nokia N8 vs Samsung Wave S8500 N8: AMOLED capacitive tou... more@ Alvy, we take your comparison of Wave & N8 rather sportingly. But you should also remember that the N8 is expected to cost about 25000-26000(INR) whereas the Wave is about 17500(INR) but 70% features of the Wave are comparable/better to/than the N8. Personally my biggest grudge against Nokia is their gross overpricing of their products. Some of them really defy logic.
                                    Bottomline is that Samsung have produced a very good product in the Wave at a super competitive price. Only thing lacking is the bits & pieces in the apps which will be addressed as the appstore grows.
                                    Peace !!

                                      What made you so foolish to compare Wave to N8.
                                      Let me tell you something my dear foolishguys.
                                      Wave can never get close to N8.
                                      Wave has 1ghz and 512ram because of that fat bada woman.
                                      480x800 on 3.3inch screen is good for stupid people.
                                      You are a huge fool to compare 5mp to 12mp.
                                      When will wave get (USB ON THE GO ).
                                      When will wave reach class 33.
                                      Hey! dont fool again. LOOK AT YOUR FACE

                                        Nokia N8 vs Samsung Wave S8500

                                        N8: AMOLED capacitive touchscreen.
                                        Wave: Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen.
                                        (don't really understand what this super AMOLED means,maybe its same as the AMOLED and they are just giving the 'super' prefix to grab attention)

                                        N8: Scratch resistant Gorilla display.
                                        (we don't need a lens cover,its scratch resistant)
                                        Wave: Scratch resistant surface.

                                        N8: 16GB internal storage.
                                        Wave: 1.5GB internal storage.390 MB user available storage(poor wave,its card slot is also below the battery)

                                        N8: 256MB RAM and 512MB ROM
                                        Wave: 512MB RAM
                                        (Nice work Wave)

                                        Wave: GPRS-class 10.EDGE-class 10

                                        N8: micro USB.On-the-go support(this is an innovation guys)
                                        Wave micro USB

                                        N8: 12 MP camera,Carl Zeiss optics,Autofocus,Xenon flash.Video-720p@25fps

                                        (video light,we don't really need that,do we???)

                                        N8: CPU-680 MHz processor,ARM 11(A6), 3D graphics, HD Video(N8 has dedicated GPU,its faster)
                                        Wave: CPU-1GHz processor,ARM Cortex A8,HD Video

                                        N8: Symbian^3 OS
                                        Wave: Bada OS
                                        (can't understand where this Bada came from in this century of Anroid and Symbian^3 OS.....Samsung stop experementing with the hard earned money people spend on buying your phones)

                                        GUYS NOW YOU DECIDE!!!!!!!
