Rakesh, 01 Aug 2010Hey New Waver? Did u try using 16 GB card in this mobile... moreYes. That is why I replied to your question. :) Have a 16 gb card and its about 80% full I reckon. Works as if I have nothing loaded on this beauty.

    Anonymous, 01 Aug 2010Think twice before buying this phone, Don't believe the rev... moreThe price is cheap because they want to push the sales of their first bada os device. :) The battery ?? Just a few comments below yours I see a guy praising the battery. Tsk. Why dont you try and condition your battery mate. :)

    The camera looks really good for stills (indoors,outdoors,lowlight), as far as low-light video is concerned, I have not really had the chance to record something in low-light (Or even in day time for that matter) But I am gonna be out all day at some amusement park tomorrow with my mates so will definitely give it a shot and see for myself. :)

    Watch out for low-light video samples. (If none of em already aren't on youtube).

              Think twice before buying this phone, Don't believe the reviews and hype, just try it in real life otherwise you'll get deceived like i did. The only good thing about this phone are the Display technology which is unmatchable and the CPU is one of the top best but the rest is completely crap. The camera performs very poor indoors even with the lights on, taking pictures during evening is not so good either, the shots are very noisy and not crystal clear. video recording is good for the day but horrible for the night without the led flash on. GPS is unusable, Samsung's navigation is not supported in all countries, there are no pre installed maps either. speaker is not loud enough to hear where you are not near the phone. battery life is horrible, you'll lose 25% of 2 hrs music, that's 8 hrs of music playback despite 35hrs as shown in the specs. avoid this phone at all cost. it's only good to look at and now i regret buying it. not satisfied i am trying to sell it as soon as possible, there's a reason why the price is cheap. the biggest downfall of this phone are the camera and battery.

                Rakesh, 01 Aug 2010Hey New Waver? Did u try using 16 GB card in this mobile... more2gb and 8gb refers to the internal memory of the fone. As far as i know Samsung are only going to make the wave with the 2gb internal memory. There was a rumour on launch that they decided to quit the 8gb wave though i see on some sites they still have the 8gb version as coming soon.
