      HELP! HELP! HELP! I WANT MY NFS.

      My story..

      I downloaded NFS.

      After downloading and try to play an error appears, it says:

      "could not find soc.icf, either embedded or as an external file. any key to continue"

      when i touched the screen, another error appears:

      "no executable to load. place an executable (.soe) file in your data directory or use the CIF file setting (SOE) gameexecutable=x. any key to continue."

      when i touched the screen again it closes.


      guide me expert wave users, please...what causes this problem. what steps to follow to play NFS.

      btw, i'm from philippines.

          Well what about the backlight timeout in the built in browser? My phones display timeout is 15 secs in main settings, but it's not the case when I am browsing. Sometimes the backlight times out @15 secs nd sometimes @ 1 min!! Anyone else noticed this or is it only me?

              1) TikiSurf (excellent browser to replace operaMini)

              2)Need for Speed Shift ( Best racing game)

              3)WeatherBug ( Best weather App)

              Bada is growing

              I Proud to be a WAVE owner

                FOR ALL SPANISH WAVE NDRIVE USERS!!
                if your 30 day trial has run out and it does not advise you on how to get the free lifetime licene then please follow these steps.first start ndrive and it will say that all maps have expired.you need to select MENU-PREFERENCIAS-SISTEMA-RESTAURAR DEFINICIONES.it should then close ndrive automatically.start ndrive again and it will ask if you want to connect to the internet to download licence.obviously you accept and it downloads and tells you you now have a free lifetime licence in your samsung wave.

                  To Tushar
                  like you said nokia 5800 screen is JAB-screen (in comparison to WAVE); AGREED not only tht Wave's Screen is Scratch Resis too. but when it comes to Apps like QUICKOFFICE or Dataviz these are really complimentry to any device esp. to device like WAVE ; tht has nothing to do with NOKIA or in ur case SAMSUNG. Remember SON, WAVE (BADA OS) is a SMARTphone just like 5800xm. Sooner or later u will see same sort of APPS for WAVE. then what will be your say?
                  just think bout it.....

                          ranking is up, voting is up, interest is certainly going up, WAVE is captuering the world, I was in vodafone shope the other day they told me people just start to realize how good this phone is, and the sale has rocketed, its very true, samsung statistic confirm that as well, some people simply have no idea how good this phone is.
                          By the way there is a comedy show tonight in US called apple conference , I think steve going to suggest to put a plastic chain round your neck and carry the iphone that way you would have a reception. what joke ths apple iphone, avoid it at any cost if you are not yet have it.
