                  Dear Wavers

                  I am finding it hard to configure my twitter friends to sync with my phone contacts. Although I have managed to integrate FB friends, but cant seem to get any clue for twitter. Any advice?

                      Wave is all-round good. The OS is also excellent. The bright screen is one of the best I've seen. This smartphone with excellent features and hardware is priced low because of the primitive OS which is actually very good. A highly recommended phone for such a price, and if Samsung keeps their promise, people with application requirements will have nothing to worry about, for apps will be developed to even beat the Apple apps production.

                          Hi,

                          Have someone tried to use "Privacy Lock" ?? I tested it and apply it to "My Files" and it works flawlessly whenever I access to "My Files" it will asked for password.

                          Recently I change the location of the installation app to memory card, I found out that whenever I run the app (installed at memory card) the app run without asking for a password.

                          Then I go to "My Files", surprisingly it allow me to go through it without asking for password. Then I go to "Settings" > "Security" > "Privacy Lock" to confirm that whether the "Privacy Lock" for "My Files" is there or not. Well everything is still there. The "Privacy Lock" is still apply to "My Files".

                          The only way to activate back the "Privacy Lock" for "My Files" is to restart the WAVE. Then it will ask for password when I access to "My Files".

                          Is it running the app (installed at memory card) can break through the privacy lock ?? Can somebody confirm this ??

                          Many thanks in advance.
