bought my wave back in may. the battery was pretty poor to start with and i didn't give it the full charge cycles like people are talking about but over time it just keeps improving now i get a full 2 days out of the battery with hours of internet over wi fi and 3g, games text and so on. the only thing i can recommend is turn on all updates to manual unless you really need them as i have noticed this can drain battery pretty quick. 1 and a half days and still 45%, love wave

                      its a smartphone that cant sync with outlook? how come ha? they still couldnt update the kies yet...
                      and the bada os needs an update too. we are waiting samsung.. are u there?
                      but wave is the best phone I've ever had. (recently I owned nokia E90, iphone 3G, jet, Omnia II and lastly HTC HD2 before my wave)in terms of screen quality, camera quality, OP SYS smoothness (except when it stucks, and it stucks ofen)
                      overall the phone is perfect but it needs some attention from samsung

                                I don't think Samsung has released an 8GB version of the Samsung Wave. I'm from the Philippines by the way, and I haven't seen one or even heard of
