        Wave users: is the touchscreen on this phone anything like the screen on the Samsung Jet? I currently own a Jet and the touchscreen is just abysmal.

              i have been using this phone for a week now, very nice phone for those like me who don't want to jump on the iphone and android bandwagon, fast and easy to use, display is the best in the world, best photoshooter for a 5mp and has a great hd video recording with a superb sound quality even in loud places like discos the sound is still clear. i have 1 issue with this phone though, the OS uses too much battery life it just drains so much fast without using the phone and takes like 4 hours to fully charge definitely not happy as i expected a good battery life as advertised. i hope samsung release a firmware or else ill sell it and wait for the nokia n8. what is holding me off is the display because is too amazing to look at and sammy is the only one uses it

                Hi! This phone is just awesome. I am from India and using this set for the last one month....I thought Asphalt 5 and NFS Shift looked superb...until I saw the ExZeus Demo on youtube!...this is available in the paid section of Arcade games on the Apps sore in UK. So i registered there and tried to download through KIES, but it wouldnt accept any of my credit cards for payment...because they were issued in india...i am desperate to have this game on my WAVE..HElllllllllllp

                          Tushar, 24 Jul 2010I had been trying to update my wave from ddje7 to ddjf2 usi... moreOkay here is what you need to do.
                          Just check the phone's connectivity option and change the USB to 'USB Debugging' mode, not Kies or anything else. Then connect it, see if it's converting to upgrade mode after binary files are downloaded. Do it with the latest version of Kies. And if it doesn't work, then you've to download the OLD Kies form Samsung UK website which Chinaman posted 2-3 pages back.
                          Hope this will do, please inform what happened.
                          Regards.
