1.) Even the plastic used is really high quality since it dropped right from my face to the ground (5.8 ft) and didn't scratch or break.

2.) I will kill myself if I drop it again ! >:(

@Your question : How can a scratch possibly be remedied ? O.o

        Hi Everyone,

        I am having Samsung Star 3G as well as Wave. Both these phone have pre-installed Google App but the major difference which i found is that while using the Google Map on Star 3G(non-GPS mobile) I am able to track my position & can navigate through the route based on my position with respect to the GPRS Enabled Cells(Towers) but this is not the case with the Google Map provided with Wave. Whenever I click on My Current Location a message "Your Current Location is Unavailable" appears.

        So guys any of you have the trick or method to get it worked properly let me know.

        Thanks in advance

          ROHAN, 14 Sep 2010whr i update firmware mine is dde7., anyone tell whr sa... moreHi Rohan,

          You can update the firmware version from s8500XXE7 to s8500XXJH1 by urself as well, provided the KIES gives you the option to upgrade. For that you need to have the BroadBand connection because any delay/latency during the upgradation because of slow internet connection will abort the process. I faced this problem but finally got the firmware upgraded after stopping the Torrent running on my roomie's PC. ;)

          All the Best...

              Initially i bought my wave the battery only last for two day but with minimum usage of the phone, after that my board burn then send to warranty by changing new board to me. After get back my phone, my battery can last for one week minimum usage...play game, online, calls, send messages it can last about 4-5 days...

                  As promised. I get my new PC with Windows 7 ultimate 64bit version.

                  No connection problem with KIES. But the only thing that I found out is the apps that I downloaded from my company PC (WinXP SP3 32bit) are not able to install on my 64bit Win7 PC. (usually what I did is just copy the apps downloaded from company PC to my PC same location where the downloaded apps located.)

                  But now this method seems not working anymore with the latest version of KIES. It will give error when installing the apps that copied / downloaded from other PC. But it will not have any problem when download the apps and install it on the same PC.

                  I have to download apps using my Win7 64bit PC and install it on that PC as well.

                  Still figure it out. 64bit or KIES problem.

                  Thanks.

                                What Phones fan said was simply that Flash 10.1 is not hardware. It is a software and he said that you can't simply install it but it needs to be integrated within the OS itself.

                                That infact IS the matter of a simple upgrade opposed to what you just said.

                                You wouldn't know (otherwise you wouldn't have said such a thing) that even android did not have support for it until recently when The upgrade version 2.2 (froyo) wasn't available. Yes ! None of the fancy android deviced could not view any streaming media on 2.1 (Eclair).

                                So when Samsung releases an upgrade with integrated Flash 10.1 support than it WILL happen.

                                Sorry again for sounding rude, No offense !
