        I just purchased this phone and I can highly recommend it. It's easy to use, feels good in the hand, has a good quality camera and video, and plays DviX/Avi movies very well. The only hassle is removing the memory stick under the battery-but it's not a big deal. The color on the screen is bright and easy to read and the phone is well worth the money. The supplied headphones are the best quality I've ever received out of the box. Enjoy.

          I just found out if you turn BT on and restart the phone, next time it boots BT is off :( I use BT with car radio most of the time, so with this phone I must turn on BT everytime I turn on the phone. Didn't have to do that on my previous Samsung phones. Anyone with the same "problem"? Afterall it's just a setting like any else, why isn't it remembered? Hope some update will come in future firmwares to correct that.

              irvinehooi, 12 Jul 2010Hi, Can anyone tells me what is the best setting to conf... morebetter choose center weighted in the exposure metering settings. so you can shoot images with contrasting light conditions like landscape and the sky, matrix exposure metering system is used when shooting images with brighter parts scattered all over the subject, it monitors each section and evaluates as a whole.

              oh, don't forget to tweak the scene settings when taking pics of landscapes, landscape mode is the best setting as the focusing method is infinite, you'll get the best detail as compared to landscape shot with auto mode where you'll have inconsistent focusing.

                New Waver, 11 Jul 2010I am using the exchange service without any hiccups at all ... more@New Waver:
                yes, I'm pretty sure my exchange mail is set up correctly. I tried endless combinations and retyped my password a few times. I did everything on my phone exactly how I do it on the PC, but it simply doesn't work. If I don't enable sync for email/calendar/contacts/tasks then I get "syncronization completed successfuly", but if I check any of those options, it's just like wifi/3g is constantly turning on/off (the wifi icon on the top flashes every few seconds, like it's trying to do something, but can't connect to the server). Also I would like to use SSL on the server, but if I enabled that option, I get "network unavailable" message instantly. If I turn it off, at least it tries to sync for 30 seconds or so.

                @irvinehooi:
                you mean I have to login into exchange on my PC, and setup something there? Can you tell exactly where should that be? It my work email I would like to check on my phone, so maybe there's more security to it? I remember I couldn't even connect to server with my OmniaHD a year ago. But then I had errors right on the first step. Maybe it's some company security policy, so I'll ask my system administrator if he knows something about that...

                        Does the Wave have USB charging... if not, is there a way to treak the firmware to achieve that.

                                      Hi,

                                      Can anyone tells me what is the best setting to configure the "Exposure" in the camera ?? Set to "Matrix" or "Center-Weight" or "Spot" to get the best shoot ??

                                      Anyone need "Auto Contrast" to be turned ON ??
                                      I guess this is not the one so called "Wide Dynamic Range" in the digital camera right ??

                                      Thanks in advance.

                                        Hi, it seems that user need to configure the synchronization profile first, then can setup the exchange active sync in order to sync the email from exchange server.

                                        Correct me if I'm wrong.

                                        Thanks.
