556 posts and increasing. Iphone 4 has 421. Hmmmmm , Wave is a clear winner isnt it? I just want to say this. With wat u wld pay for iphone 4, u cld get a Waev and ipod touch 4g have the best of worlds...If u really want to use Iphone apps..Tht way, at least u wnt waste ur battery on ur fone. Where as iphone users will keep charging every 5-6 hrs. LOL...

Hi Everyone, there is a java IM app, called UTalk, extracted from XEJH4 FW and it works exactly like Palringo but it does many IMs, such as yahoo, gtalk, msn, facebook, aim, jabber and many more. It works flawlessly and can do notification too. Please read more info in samsung firmware world in premium social hub thread. I found it the best so far, whoever can't use socialhub at the moment. You just need Stune to replace Palringo with UTalk.
The good:
1. many IMs such yahoo, msn, gtalk, aim, jabber, facebook and many more
2. working flawlessly
3. notification (as most java program can't do notification yet e.g Nimbuzz java for S8000 has a lot better interface but can't do notification and not too stable)
4. ability to add, multiple accounts for the same IM type e.g many gtalk accounts
The bad:
1. very simple UI like Sammy's included Palringo
2. Status message are not saved. Need to put it again every time you use the application
3. Java version
4. no skype
5. no calling feature (but voice mail and picture sharing is there)

after playing the racing games which have mindblowing graphics embedded to the 1ghz processor n 512mb ram ..i felt that..there wasnt a single moment whn the grame had a flicker...
so,now i wonder ..this phone cud surely take on the PSP , only if it has a dedicated game pad..
I wish samsung makers read this and just put a dedicated game pad to it ..believe me , if this happens this is gonna ruin the market share of all other phone in the rs15-25000 category..i hope after the bada apps developers competition is over, we find high end games to download for free

Hey, Wavers..
its been almost a month that i followed all ur user reviews and today i finally bought the wave..its performance is just mindblowing..awesome graphics ..i dont hv a 3G connection or a wi-fi...so basically i ll b using a 2G network now..music quality is superb in the headphone(high bass headphone wud hv been better)..i read about the battery issues, but i still bought it...in my opinion none of the phones can b perfect and i just cant let wave out of my reach coz of the battery...asphalt5 graphics r too good..its my first day n will b checking upon the battery ...
I have a question i.e how to check the battery usage?..many guys wrote about the percentage of battery drained by them during their usage...how can i get to know this without download the battery specific apps?

jeniffer, 06 Sep 2010hello everyone, please help me. i am going to buy new mob... moreI had a chance using this fone yesterday. Unofrtunately was a faulty unit -fault being the case cracked. Bought it of a person on ebay brand new in packaging, only to find tht has a crack at the front bottom plastic. Was very disapointed. Anyways that still doesnt mean this fone is bad. Infact I was very impressed with the qulity of the bada. The s-amoled was incredible. 3g settings were very hard to find, i had to look it up on internet. Very nice fone,nice in hand. But i wish Samsung built this baby metal all over. Because of tht plastic. For your answer Jennifer, I wld wait until N8. Galaxy is a good fone also, feature packed. Very hard decision infact. Its rather a personal taste. U wnt go wrong if u go with Samsung wave and galaxy. But N8 might be even better. Though the new Symbian OS is still a mystery. May be improved. See how u go. End of this month u will be able to test the N8. Cheers.***I am getting another Wave by the way. I liked it. I will stick to it.

mindblowing handset in that price range .no any handset is perfect all phones and os es have there ups and down enen apple to which is thaught to ideal has many issues. so my thaught is it is enough good for all need. anybody should compere it in its price range.coz money is great factor .if u have checkout galexy s then dont think about wave. wave is for mid range and we r really happy with this no any prob yet. if u manage then battery is not a prob it give very good backup. my previous nokia n85 give battary backup on continious downloading about 4 to 5 hr and the wave give about 8 to 9 hr .on bsnl gsm sim in 3g mode. i am using ap with bsnl 3g sim to connect net in my notebook and i see there is no need to do any kind of setting it works perfectly.
