                I have configured my corporate exchange account and can get mails only which are sent to my Inbox. I have created separate folders on my outlook and cant view those folders on my wave.

                he mails sent to my folders are not getting displayed as the corresponding folders are missing.

                The same works fine in Monte.

                This option should be available in Wave.

                      The image is less good than reality.
                      Excelent filling in hand and pocket cause is very thin
                      The Bada has still long way to do.lack of customization is very obvious.Its pretty that all this power it has is going useless.There is a lack of minimal at least office capabilities.
                      Excellent video and screen quality.

                          kutty, 05 Aug 2010My Wave is always Hot. While Charging or while downloading ... moredont trust to much the battery check app. as the same happened with me.it never showed more than 85%.if you want to check you battery do it by going into settings-about phone-system info-battery.

                            [deleted post]It has built-in Picsel viewer, which reads MS office documents and pdf files. No free built-in office editor yet though. But you can download a java-based editor, I think (so it's one-up on iOS4, but not on Android). I hope they make a free Bada-based office editor available in the App store or in firmware upgrades soon.

                                Who is sending you mms? I think he may be sending you the thumbnails instead of the actual pictures.
                                Send him something from your phone, then have him send it back (just forwarded from your message); Then ask him to download/save the image you sent and then send it back to you in his usual way. If both are still small, the hunt continues. If not, well...then you know what's been wrong. :) Hope this helps

                                    http://www.66.com/route66/index.php?cid=US&act=1&catid=255
                                    Install the desktop Route66 Sync software. Run it and create your user account. Then connect your wave in mass storage mode, the desktop software will detect your country and show you available maps and other stuff (voice files for guided nav, etc). Depending on where you are, most probably drive/walk/turn-by-turn maps will cost you, while country maps and voices are free.
