Anonymous, 30 Jul 2010guys why u complaining about the battery life? i got the ph... moreThe battery on my wave lasts less than two days also and I was worrying about that since most reviews give the phone top marks on battery life. (It's the highest ranked in terms of battery life here in GSMArena)

I live in the Philippines, but bought the phone in Honkong (it's cheaper and the warranty they give there is longer than the 1-year given here, but it's harder to go to if I need to exchange the batt). From the feedback of retail users though, it looks like I might get a batt with the same lifespan even if I exchange it.

    [deleted post]Is there an 8gb Wave anywhere? From what I understand, it just comes in 2gb (partitioned though into 3: storage, apps & messages). It takes up to 32gb microSD cards though. The Philippine Samsung Mobile site says up to 8gb only in the spec sheet, so I guess that's why some people keep asking about higher capacity cards

        Is this phone only getting used by Indians? All the comments are coming from them. Where are the people from other countries? C'mon, share your views and experience here.

                                Hi GUYS,
                                Have u tried the following options if not try these.
                                1. Press the center Menu button and Lock button at the same time to capture(Print Screen). The screen shot will be saved in Images folder.

                                2. To Search double press the center Menu button u will get Search.

                                This is for some wave users who don't know the features.
