I saw on the Samsung website firmware FAQ recommended to use Samsung PC Studio to do data backup such as contacts, calendar, to-do.....etc.

Did someone tried to connect WAVE to PC using latest version of Samsung PC Studio ?? Any success ??

Thanks.

            Just want to ask do I need to uninstall the internal "Asphalt 5" that came with the WAVE in order for me to install the latest version of "Asphalt 5" from Samsung Apps Store ??

            The version of "Asphalt 5" at Samsung Apps Store is in HD quality :)

            Thanks.

                  Joy, 15 Aug 2010the 2GB card that comes free with the wave is not being det... moreI faced this problem. First check the card in some other phone and if the card is ok then I guess it is the same prob as mine. The slot where the microSD card has to be inserted you can see many small pins there. In my case one of the pins was pressed too much and that was the reason. All i did was to take a staple pin and lift that pin slightly. but be careful. otherwise simply go to the vendor.

                          Is the screen and bdy scratch resistant? Im guessing the black plastic at top and bottom isn't?

                          Has any used a screen protector and then used it without? Any difference between the response with or without?

                                and wait for samsung developer contest to see many applcations of bada which will reach 7000 at the end of the year knowing that most people don't need this large number of applications,go and check your friend's iphone and you will not find more than 30 applications.
                                for asphalt5 download the last version from samsungapps to your phone main memory if you don't have a high speed memory card,and close the unnecessary widgets and you will notice that the performance can match with iphone4.
                                ..larger size games not always the best games but you can check these games for "your" samsung wave

                                    Try and hook it into your laptop and format it in FAT32 format. :)

                                    If it still does not get detected, go to the vendor you bought it from and get it exchanged.

                                      Or were you like ! Hey !! I know bada is new and has few apps now and I know its not an Iphone but I will just buy it anyway and sulk !!

                                      Grow up man ! I am assuming you were not introduced to android AFTER buying wave, so why did you buy it instead of an android device ? Some1 forced you ?

                                        [deleted post]well i own a wave .. want a proof i'll send you pictures of my wave.. im just saying that bada i think will not reach android or any os now because the entry is so late. now about asphalt, caligo. yeah they are a decent games. but did you try to compare the asphalt on iphone and wave? you will notice that the asphalt apeears great on wave because of the superamoled but the frameskip is not as smooth as the one in the iphone.try to check it.. and also if i would show caligo,asphalt nfs shift on my wave, my friend who has an iphone will show me prince of persia (500mb game), chaos ring(squre enix rpg 200mb ) gta chinawars(200mb) my friend told me about this and showed me and i cant say anything because i dont have that on my wave.. also he has a safari browser which makes the dolphin browser suck bigtime
