You should still not get it the moment it comes out but carefully check out its reviews, both by professional reviewers and users. And definitely go to the stores and play with it for a moment or two (or as long as they allow you to play with it :P). There is no reason to not get it if it does what it says it does. :)

                    New waver, 11 Sep 2010I really mind iOS running on wave. The worst OS ever made !Well, I have used an iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 and if you ask me, iOS is not bad at all, if you want out of the box configuration and are not too interested in playing with settings. For an average Joe, who wants out of the box usage, iPhone is a fantastic platform, plus there is the marvellous Apple Support.

                    True, for the one who want customizability and freedom, iOS is not game.

                    Anyway, so I think :-)

                      I miss Skype, Google Maps and free navigation. Without these, somehow, to me, Wave seems good but incomplete. When I bought Wave about 3 months back, I was under the impression that we would have these in by about 3 months. So far, no luck. Still, the Bada developers challenge is just over (or did it get extended to 17th September), so I am still keeping my fingers crossed for Skype, Google voice, Google Maps, free navigation and the works.

                      Wonder when would Galaxy S be available with a LED flash.

                        not software
                        :
                        1) galaxy has no flash
                        2) its big , less pocketable.
                        3) big screen with same resolution, so pixel density is far less. thus everything is not crisp clear on zooming...
                        4) made of plastic, while wave has metal body

                                  Nyway u'll miss d camera flash in galaxy S nd HTC r gud 4 none. They make so basic mistakes. Many of there phones lacked secondary camera nd almost none had flash just a yr back. Though they've started implementing both now bt still there image quality nd music quality r below par. Plus there phones r super expensive compared 2 same feature phones 4m Nokia nd Samsung. Think b4 u buy one.

                                        the earphone sound is not really lacking loudness. some users of wave have their earphone not properly attached to the ear jack button. you should push it more so that you will hear the real loudness of the phone.
