bleedme, 02 Sep 2010hey guys, i did not buy this phone yet but i have planned t... moreIt is the best value for money you can ever get, superb.

for the battery issue, not everyone is suffering from it! and i think they are not alot of people, and in many cases it is not a phone defect, but rather a user defect (running apps and widgets that drains the battery).

i wanted to get a nokia e55 (not for middle east) or e52 earlier (about 10 months ago) go check in the forum how many problems were reported then (that is why i did not buy either then)

i waited for e72, but when i held it in my hand at the store, i was not impressed, and all the units i saw here in cairo were made by nokia

then i followed the wave here, and it is what i got. I'm totally satisfied with it
it is far more stable than nokia,
excellant build quality
has all the features i ever wanted

on top of all that, it comes at an afordable price!

i suggest that you read many hands on reviews by wave users here,

you won't regret getting a wave.

            [deleted post]Me too is looking for a bumper. The scratch-resistant is the screen not the body. I dropped my phone in the bathroom floor and scratched the left side of my phone. :-(

                        Egyptian on Da Wave, 02 Sep 2010try carrefour 2360 L.E.I've been advised by several branches of Mobile Shop that there is a recall on Sumsung Wave due to some defects in the exterior body. Though, it is a very nice device concerning the internal CPU, system, interface and etc... You'll never find a better touch screen. But please take care from the so called issues.

                                Hey guys I've done some registry editing for Kies and I got an upgrade message to XXJF8, now 'XX' is an European firmware code and I am from India. So if I upgrade to 'XXJF8' will I get 'DDJH1'? I mean is it possible to get 'DD', Indian code if I already upgrade to 'XX'.
                                Thanks in advance.

                                  i have had this phone for 2 months now and not had any problems with the battery,although it heats up after its been in use for a long time the battery life is fine and dependant on how much you use the phone. the more you use it the more you have to charge it..simple really!.
