    Anonymous, 23 Sep 2010Any one help me to mute/off the keypad tone in IM Palringo.... morenot sure if this applies to palmingo as well but for general muting, just activate the silent button on the notification area found at the uppermost part of the screen.

      I love this phone. have one problem though - the Bluetooth connection with my car is lost within a minute of connection so I can not sync and phone with car kit. Both units pick each other up but after connection the phone disconnects automatically. Phone is set on "always on". Please assist.

          Saurav, 23 Sep 2010Again this comparison queries always depends on your need. ... moreActually, I think Windows 7 Mobile may be a great one. But somehow, I hated their home screen with "panels", especially the 3 large blue ones.

          at leats on videos, it felt like one has to do too much scrolling to get to the required stuff

            Saurav, 23 Sep 2010Nope, I will use it as my secondary phone. Actually I wanna... moreHmmm . . . I thought you would sell your Wave and we wouldsee another of those ads here "I want to sell my phone......."

            Ha ha ha . . . Good to see you hanging around.

            By the way, just a word of caution,HTC Desire HD is a great phone, no tow second thoughts on that. But it is a largish phone, not very pocketable. Just wanted to let you know.

            And in one of the tests that endagadget had done, S LCD consumed more power than Super AMOLED. Just letting you know.

            Like I said in my one of my last posts, feature by feature one phone might be better than another, but as a whole, it is an entirely different ballgame.

            All the best with HTC Desire HD

              it means wave is not good camera? but wave is a upgraded version of samsung jet. samsung jet and wave is the same camera 5MP. why samsung jet is good camera than wave? it means samsung put a low class optic lens to wave? samsung jet it has used samsung optic lens digital camera. why samsung not put samsung lens optic digital camera to wave? im planning to buy wave but i doubt for camera. samsung jet is better camera than wave. im planning to buy wave or galaxy beam? but i want great camera like samsung jet.

                jessica, 23 Sep 2010hi i wanna know which is better phone with BADA os or phone... moreAgain this comparison queries always depends on your need. Windows is a wide platform, it has a lot of apps, if I am not wrong it has the maximum no of apps for a mobile os, but aside that you won't find any fun in it. It's a typical business minded os I thiink. 'bada' is more entertaining, funny and cool than WM. If it were me I'd take 'bada' over WM.
                Maybe I am wrong..

                        New waver, 22 Sep 2010You're wrong mate. :) When strictly speaking about still ph... moreI will second you on that. In bits and pieces, there are phones which are better off. Some have a better camera, some more apps, some better apps, some larger screen and so on.

                        As a whole, Wave is indeed great. May not have the best camera, but got a very decent one, Great screen (need I even mention this), very good functionalities like FM recording etc. and given the price it retails at, it is a steal.

                        I myself, would not mind paying more for a better phone, but then which phone is without its problems and shortcomings

                                Hi Guys,

                                I just updated the firmware on my wave and now i get a white screen with an error message. It reads: "FOTA Engine is not intalled". How stupid this samsung then cannot even spell the word "installed" correctly. The phone has crashed. I recommend not to update the firmware, or even better throw away this phone.
