Hi!
Love my Wave that have been mostly to my satisfaction.
Have a small but annoying problem though.
Samsung apps seems a bit messed up.
For example I don´t have the GPS-Status app installed anymoore. Despite that, it says there is an uppdate avaible. When I uppgrade it(install it again), it still says there´s an uppgrade. Now when I want to install the EvMemo app it only install half of it. Then when I look at it it´s "paused". When I try to install again and again... same thing, only half way then "paused". Cant even delete it unless I lift battery and restart. I have bada 1.0.2 / XXJH3 firmware. Any thoughts anybody..?

                  I have downloaded some HD photos for my wallpaper. How do you make the wallpaper spread across your home pages? When I select the wallpaper it doesn't scroll across the homepages like the installed versions do

                      Guys, how do I mute the phone (basically temporarily silence it) when a call arrives?

                      And is there a way to stop service messages (those call cost, balance left messages)?

                              As someone mentioned, the colors it produces are really natural and I have not yet seen anything coming out as pale. In the nights, I prefer using the Night Scene (needs very steady hands) as it brightens up your subject significantly, yet not as much to make it look unnatural. Detail capture is good, not something brilliant though. But sometimes even that is remarkable.

                                  samsung jet is a good phone but it can't be compared to wave,the jet has the same shape and similar specifications as the omnia II but with no OS.
