          [deleted post]disadvantages varies depending on the people using the phone, like for me some disadvantages are on the software and may be improve in the next updates, but about the hardware, it's just the best for me for my price range..

          some i hate and i hope to be improved in the next updates is that when i'm browsing multiple heavy websites, the memory full notice occasionally occur and it automatically closes some widgets.. and when the battery was low, it closes the screen for like 5 seconds if your idle, so when you are doing something like texting and you did not touch the screen for 5 seconds, it locks the screen and you have to unlock it again, i hope the delay can be set.. well that's all i don't like, but all in all, i love everything about the phone..

            to wave users,

            do you see an image of sim card during the start up? it appears for just a second after the word bada.

                          Battery Life, 08 Jul 2010I've just had to return my Wave due to the poor battery lif... morewell some batteries needs long time to show it's total performance, like my Nokia N70, the first time i've used it, it's battery only lasts a day or 2, and that went for months, i was also annoyed that time, and after a few months to a year, i've just noticed that i was only charging it now once or twice a week, with minimal usage.. as for my wave, it also lasts a day with average to maximum use, but with minimum use to idle, it's already lasting 2 days and a half..

                              I've just had to return my Wave due to the poor battery life (probably lasted just under a day with hardly any usage) and a new replacement is currently charging.

                              My question to all Samsung Wave users is what is the average time they have with their Wave between each charge interval? And how heavy is your usage?
