        I have just got -

        Ebony Gray Wave (decided it looked classier than the black)
        Screen protector
        Invisible Shiled full body kit
        Samsung 8mb class 6 memory card
        Samsung Case

        All ready to go!!!! One thing I need to know. Is it best to fully charge the phone before I use it for the first time? Or better to use it until battery dies and then do a full charge?

          just switched it on and bluetoothed over a couple of songs to play and now back on charge (could not resist),,i am so so so so glad to be back with wave,,cant believe the screen again and its responsiveness,,it tops galaxy s in all departments and got flash led back..

          Nice size in hand after using SGS and BADA is just as good as Android and will get better everyday..It feels so solid after using SGS and nice size..

          You dont know what youve got till its gone and same goes to Nokia n86 ..Feel good at moment and bit more settled than i have been over last 2 years..Going to get some serious abuse tommorow plus need to read back thru posts till last time i had wave to get up to date,,dont know what software it is and any other changes...

          HOW CAN THEY BUILD SUCH A TOP TOP SPEC SOLID METAL SMARTFONE WITH EXCELLENT BATTERY FOR THIS PRICE??????

I am not bothering about that my device is not updating, what disturbs me is Kies, if it shows an update elsewhere in India then it should show to me as well. Somebody could update, somebody doesn't, this is not good. Sammy should have a look.
                  Thnx anyway..

                    DD is the firmware code for India too. I don't know why both are in a firmware name.

                              today i asked the rates from a "Mobile Store" nearby to my house. the guy told me 17,800 but was ready to bargain. i guess may b he could final at a little below 17,500.
                              But bro, won't it b better if we buy it from some authorised samsung mobile dealer... wat do u suggest??

                                      I bought my wave 2 days and yesterday, I got a notification in Kies to update the firmware.

                                      Managed to do so after some attempts. Kies is buggy, not very good.

                                      Can you tell me what is the latest firmware you have got. I saw some messages that said that they had INU firmware. I have a .....s8500ddjh1_INT firmware.

                                      So please, tell me last few characters of your firmware, if you have updated in the last few days.
