zakir hussain, 20 Aug 2010Today I Purchased The Samsung Wave S8500. Befor Byuing it I... moreZakir.

First, there is nothing wrong with the read/write speeds when transferring date to either to, or from phone. Can you specify how many files were you transferring and what was the size ??

Actually, I find the transfer speeds to be very good. :)

Second, I converted my mp3 into wma for just to check whether there is any problem and None ! They play as good as mp3. Btw, mp3 are alot better sounding generally as it uses perceptual audio coding.

And mate, Flv is a protected format. Have you come across ANY cellphone that plays it ?

        The size of wallpaper for wave is 1600x1200(if you have many home screens). For single screen you can use 400x800

            1. File Transfer between PC and Wave is too much slow
            2. It Does not suppor FLV
            3. I am unable to watch wma files got error message
            and many more I share after a day or two day of use, but I am Unhappy with wave.

                  Just bought this Wave last July 2010 and I don't have any bad comments aside from no camera lens cover which its not a big deal for me, what I'm after is the performance, durability & well of course the looks. So far its the best smartphone I've ever had, (by the way its my first time to use Samsung mobile since I started using mobile way back 1998). I would say its very responsive, fast internet connection, it has a good quality sound, video recording is superb with HD quality, it got 5MP camera that produces best quality photos even outdoor or indoor (don't worry it has powerful neon flash). Additional Apps are downloadable from Samsung for free at this time.The display is very clear thanks for the super amoLED technology even under the sun you can still see the image. The best thing with this phone is it has scratchproof surface so don't need to put screen protector. And speaking of durability I might say this one is durable because of its aluminum body, slimmer & solid feel. For me this Wave is highly recommended & worth the price. Wavy good!!

But you can still have a connection from your network provider just ask them if you're allowed to connect thru packet data, but be aware they will charge you for every connections. Good day!
