                Amazing phone
                Everything is great
                No wonder it is sold out in every shop, for such a cheap price 320 euros.
                Price of crappy X6 is more than that, Nokia has no chance to win

                  Hi after I updated my firmware to firmware JF3. I've found out some really annoying bugs.

                  If i keep open and read the messages and close the messages too many times, it will give me "Memory not enough, unable to launch application" error message. From that moment onward, it will pop up this error message whenever I try to read my messages.

                  This is very annoying and very strange that it only happen to messages and email messages. And I can make sure that I have no other apps are running at the background. It won't happen to other application. Whenever i receive this error messages, i still can open other app without any problem. Such as "Game", "Memo", "Music Player", "My Files" and "Photo Slide Show". Until I restart the unit then it allows me to open and read the messages again.

                  I assumed that it could be due to memory leak to the messages application.

                  I hope that Samsung can rectify this problem as soon as possible as it's very annoying and causes me unable to read my messages on my phone. This is very ridiculous.

                  Many thanks.

                    Though the camera doesnt have flash and no hd video recording. Dunno how much you use the camera but just pointing it out. Plus I dont know anything about windows mkt place and I have never used a windows phone. :) Choose a phone that meets your requirements !

                      New waver, 11 Aug 2010Hey mate ! I installed Route66 on my laptop and downloaded ... moreThe first time you open Route66 with your downloaded country map, go outside, preferably with no trees or any other cover, so it will be easier to get a satellite lock. Activate all the assists in Settings>Preferences and select a reliable internet profile, at least for this first time lock-on (you'll get charged for internet data). If you're doing it in your office or house the first time, bookmark the location already. The first satellite lock is really usually long, probably a minimum of 3mins (can go higher depending on the weather, etc.)

                            Which one is preferable considering one is Windows based while one is Bada based which is new OS by Samsung.
                            Other than that the main difference between the 2 is its display.

HD mini comes for some 23000+ and HD2 is double or almost double the price of wave. How do you say its the same price range ?

                                  Is Bada trouble free or being new have some bugs. I like this phone very much especially its touch & Super AMOLED screen but am unwilling for a new OS which might have some issues with compatibility or any other issues.
                                  Wave users, please share some light on this.
