this forum is a great source of information for ppl who've bought the Wave! Keep it up!
I bought the game "Lets Golf" and unfortunately sometimes when i try to play it. It'll come up with this error msg and force me to close it. "not enough resources close some application"
Is anyone else getting this problem? I have nothing running in the background.
Thx!

scoopyscoopy, 03 Aug 2010Firmware XXJG5 the best firmware at the moment. Improvement... moreThere is already a Skyp on WAVE with 3 network in UK, I am not sure about other network, but it should be the same,
Also where do you download this FW you are talking about? I believe everything should be through samsung Kies, so I don't understand why people talking about all sort of FW while the only place to get it is samsung Kies!!!
could you please explain this to me, I am confused,

Firmware XXJG5 the best firmware at the moment. Improvements over previous FWs are as follow:
1. Fast, smooth and very stable
2. GPS : R66 finds satellites in less than a minute.
3. Email: Uni-inbox but context menu doesn't work, Exchange sync works now for contacts and calendar pretty well, push all exchange folders
4. Samsung Apps has "Update All" function
5. Over the air Bada OS update in Setting Menu
6. Camera quick view opens the right image
7. Wi-fi icon can show wi-fi signal strength
8. Alarm has auto-power up function
9. Fackbook seems to work faster
10. There are icons in some setting menu
11. Battery lasts 18 hours with exchange push, 3 email accounts (update every 1 hour) and SNS (update every 3 hours), 48 hours without push, 4 days without any emails or SNS updates.
Urgent Waiting Features: (with these, Wave can be my primary phone)
- Remote Desktop App
- Google Maps App
- Proper Youtube App
- IMs such as Nimbuzz or IM+ (social hub should be working soon for windows live, yahoo and gtalk)
- not hoping for Skype though as it becomes iSkype
- Text reflow and flash 10 support in browser
- Torch app for flashlight
Sammy is working hard. Hopefully, Wave will be a perfect smartphone in 6 months. :D

i read this about this mobile on its review , can any one tell me what does it mean please.:
"Some apps like the Samsung Store, Facebook or Twitter require a configured packet data profile and an active SIM card to use Wi-Fi connectivity. Still those services don’t actually use packet data instead of Wi-Fi, they just check if it’s available. Strange indeed."
thanks

I must say the gaming experience in Wave is absolutely amazing with the Super Amoled screen and the high res.
D/l NS Shift guys, it's even better than the embedded Asphalt.
Also does any one know how to play flac files on Wave?
