    Anonymous, 29 Aug 2010gud evening/morning to everyone A few questions here if ... moreAll the questiones that you have posted have been answers in this forum already.

    All I can say is that if you can live with having lesser apps for some time, then this phone should suit you.

    HT Desire is also a good phone, but it doesnot have a Super AMOLED display, it has an AMOLED display. But it runs Android 2.1, plenty of Apps out there in Android Market.

        Hi, i bought this phone today from Bangalore National market for Rs 17000. Original sw was JF2 & upgraded to JH1 by using Kies software on my lap top (using window 7). Also, downloaded India map from Route 66 software. First, maps got downloaded on PC & then showed copied to phone (not sure, in which location is got saved both on PC & phone). This is my first smart phone, so i will not able to tell whether it is better or bad than other smart phone in market. Tomorrow, i will try to link my company emails on this phone.

                  Hello everyone,

                  I have like 70 songs in my phone. When I am playing music, the phone gets a bit laggy. Even the CDs-view in the music player gets laggy with lots of images of music files.

                  Is this normal??

                              gud evening/morning to everyone

                              A few questions here if you guys dont mind
                              1. I have a Windows 7 64 bit. Is there any problem i might expect? like kies compatibility (although i dont want another 3rd party apps on my PC), phone cannot be detected etc etc

                              2. How's the wave's picture quality and video quality at night? on the 5 megapixel camera category is it below, above or average at best? i cant find on the net about its picture quality at night time (pictures taken ac etc)

                              3. Whats the direct competitor for this phone? i want to look for a cheaper alternative.(im looking at samsung jet but the OS a bit laggy)

                              4. does it have a microsoft excel viewer/editor?

                              5. Sound Quality.. how does it compare to ipod touch?

                              6. Battery life (compared to other smartphone of this caliber)

                              thank you, hope that u would help me
                              p.s sorry for the english or if any of those questions has been answered before
