      Been using my wave for two weeks. so far most things are great. have tried Mobile Ap,GPS and A-gps,FM radio, Xvid videos.browser is fast. what i dislike at the moment is Battery life. not as impressive as what have been reviewed by this site. I also find most of the negative comments here are user lack of technical know how. most problem posted are configuration issues,also please don't expect your phone to be like PC. wave can't handle 6 application at the same time.just maintain up to 3 apps and everything is responsive.

                  companies do research before launching a product i am sure samsung also did but they did sacrifice a few things in order to make it look better and other things . At least they did not make a blunder like iphone 4

                  all said and done my older blackberries were built like a tank two years of abuse but still dont show their age , the samsung wave with the new screen will be used as a entertainment device only for communication nothing beats blackberries lol

                      The salesman at JUMBO ELECTRONICS told me BADA OS besides Samsung apps, can also support JAVA & SYMBIAN apps.

                      Is this true?

                      Is there a MS WORD, MS EXCEL viewer available of BADA or something similar to DOCUMENTS TO GO?

                                      I had been trying to update my wave from ddje7 to ddjf2 using kies......but everytime i try to do so, after the binary files are dowlnoaded andit goes on to "update" step, the connection to my phone is terminated automatically and a msg kums up tht i have to reconnect and go into the recovery mode....i did tht too....but my device just wont show up again in kies....i retried it 4 tymes and its update size is 180MB so its pretty annoying to do tht everytym.....wen i close kies and again run it and reconnect it, then it gets connected easily....the update again starts from step-1......pls tell me wt to do.....thanks..
