Hey wave users, I'm planning to buy this, please answer my questions -

When switched off! How many hours it takes to full charge (100%) after the battery completely drained ? so that it can be saved from over charging ...

Does it have silent unlimited call recording feature (without any beep between minutes) or any apps available in samsungapps store for call recording? n can we save the call recording logs in memory card directly?

thank u in advance ...

Do this for minimum 8 charges.ur battery will get conditioned.Do not keep ur phone charging after reaching 100%. Yes it will affect battery life if u over charge.

                              I personally also hope that Samsung will make it happen for all the WAVE users around the world.

                              Because I feel that Samsung is very serious on their Bada OS. And this is very first time they do accept user feedback for improvement.

                              Since Samsung also claimed there will be 2 major update available each year. I will follow these updates.

                              By the way, up until now what I see on the forum is still not have a very clear instruction for updating the firmware. I hope that somebody can make a detail step by step in sequence on how to update the firmware which it sure benefit all WAVE users.

                              Thanks and cheers.

                                Are you owned a Samsung WAVE ?? WAVE is smartphone. Are you kidding me, your WAVE cannot send group SMS messages ?? OR may be I don't understand what is your "Group SMS" means. Can you please state it clearly ?

                                Are you a BlackBerry fans ?? Never mind, WAVE can do push mail that BB can.

                                Thanks.

                                  Samsung WAVE sound volume is extremely loud and clear. And it has the best sound quality mobile phone in the current market.
