    Hi to those always said WAVE is a feature phone should read the post below and think twice before post any comment about WAVE. Please read the latest review from the GSMArena below: "Samsung Galaxy S vs. Apple iPhone 4"

    After read through it.
    So is iPhone is also a features phone as well....LOL

    Those iphone fans who keep attacking WAVE on multitaking feature, and now it's true that iPhone 4 can't do real multitasking (Fake Multitasking).

    Thanks.

I posted those with the hope that the guys over at Samsung might read and take a note of it. And I'm only referring to issues with my unit I consider relevant. If you can't help me, then better shut up. Obviously, you know English. But comprehension, I don't know.

                  @ New Waver. You're the man. Really appreciate you're positive take on my post back there. Just found out that Equalizer and Effects and 5.1 Ch work with mp3 format only. I encoded all my tracks in m4a! I can't believe this :-0

                  Maybe you could help me with my Mobile AP problem. A step by step guide maybe. Thanks

I had that fone and was lucky to get a day out of it. I get 2 days from the wave with heavy use and 3 days with moderate use which I think is pretty good considering what this phone can do (and what people can't charge a fone these days). If you believed GSMarena on battery life you are a fool.

                                  i got this phone since last thursday, been cycling it since and i noticed through the CPU meter that touching bumps it up quite a bit.
                                  if i spend like 5 mins it goes down at least 1%,this is also with no wifi or bluetooth on,
                                  where does GSM ARENA come with a full 31/2 days battery life? i get 2 days maximum, i hope that it improves over the nxt few weeks,
                                  i had the omina (i900) before and got used to 4-5 days of batt life
                                  i think that 3 days with the Wave is not bad,
                                  overall i like everything else with the Wave,even dont mind the lack of available apps, (not in my region yet)
                                  but the Battery life is the one thing that really pisses me off about it and i got this phone becAUse of GSM AREA review of this phone.
