GSM arena seems to block all lines that is feels can be an url, except its own website

Thanks

              are bumpers actually available for the wave ?
              I searched the internet & all I could find is the Iphone 4 bumper.
              Is the wave bumper available in India ?

                You can add the Samsung account back again later.

                    Im from Singapore and only weekend i on 3G network, for weekdays i mostly on 2G cause using wifi is faster. So i think if u on 2G network also can let the battery life last longer, cheers.

                      On the network I use in Canada there is only 3G and no 2G.

                      Where you live do you disable your 3G connecting and just use 2G for the standby time?

                          That's a 33% drop in 48 hours for you while I have a 11% drop in 16.5 hours. There for when my phone drops from 89% to 67% it will have lasted 16.5x3 or 49.5 hours.

My wave, since fully charge on monday morning till now, 24/7 on still left 67% left. But i do agree with the way u charge ur wave, and do not charge when it totally flat out. I also always charge my wave when 20% like that, :)

                                  For those who missed it and are still suffering from a poor battery life.

                                  Recently I disable my Samsung account and it has improved my battery life substantially. So far it has been 16.5 hours and has dropped 11%. During this time I have used WIFI for 5-10min to download a game and update another game. I have also made/received 5-10min of calls. All the time I have been on the 3G network but with data turned off.

                                  Before disabling the Samsung account I got less than 48 hours out of this phone. Thanks again to the person who suggested disabling it.

                                  By the way. The last 3 charges I have been charging my phone from 20-30% to full and then unplugging the charger. I do this because I have read that li-ion batteries can be weakened over time by full discharges and leaving them at 100% charge.
