Hi people!
Have had my Wave for about two weeks.
Like it mucho. I mean, whats not to like..!
However. Had a SE Aino before, and I find the Wave´s soundquality a bit poor in comparison. Wonder if there´s something wrong with mine, as I´ve only heard good things about the sound from other users. There does´nt seem to be any other Samsung original headset thats better. I mean, I want to be able to answer calls with it so, a regular high quality 3,5mm headset is not an option. The Aino bluetooth hf sounds a bit better but not as good as the Aino did. Comments about this anyone?

The only "negative" side effect I had on previous Samsung phones was that the battery indicator got stuck on the 7th bar for 3 days, then droped to 1st on the next day :) But what about the lifetime of the battery? Does it suffer much? Does anyone have a "scientific" explanation?
