    some people here are comparing the wave with a 5 years old technology phone,they should read the phone specifications before doing so,because the wave only can be compared to iphone4,Galaxy s,htc evo,driod x, also you can add htc desire ,SE x10,and the upcoming n8.

Nokia can dominate the market even their 2 years old model i.e. N5800XM, E71 and N79 etc. Till now the 5800 is the best touch phone with it's price range. Here I mention some old features/apps of 5800 which are dream for other phone. 1) Lifetime free GPS Navigation in OVI maps, 2) FOTA, 3) 30+ Hours Music Playback, 4) Brightlight, 5) Quickoffice 6 Premier, 6) Adobe Reader LE 2.5, 7) Advanced Blocker, 8) Superb Voice Recognition, 9) DSP for Audio, 10) Realplayer (Make 22-Jan-2010), 11) Strong GPS module, 12) Sports Tracker (v3.01 s60 5.0), 13) Energy saving TFT screen and 14) Remote Device Lock etc

                              This is a stunning devise, and the quality is top notch, be it display, camera, sound or OS.
                              But Samsung has a few annoying features. Can anyone please tell me if the below annoying features persists in wave too???
                              - While sending messages the screen displays ‘sending message’ and doesn’t allow u to do anything else
                              - When u assign a ring tone from memory card, it copies it to the phone memory
                              - Messages are first saved in the sim card (I don’t mean memory card) and then in phone memory and this can’t be changed
                              - Can’t change the song without removing the device from the pocket (like in sony where u can press the volume key longer to change the song)
                              - Can’t use the flash as torch
                              - No themes available
                              - The widgets placed in the screen cannot be locked (unlike lg), so they move if u happen to swipe on them by mistake
                              - All the settings, esp. the default memory options settings, change when u plug in the devise to a computer
                              - While listening to songs through ear phones, u can’t take an incoming call by pressing the button in the earphones, u will have to take the phone out of ur pocket and press the take call button
                              - If ur earphones doesn’t have mic, u can’t use the phone mic along with the earphones like in nokia, so u will have to plug out the earphones to take the call
                              So many of u use wave.. Can anyone please answer the above? Thank you... Enjoy with ur wave.. I wanna buy mine soon... :) :)
