Hi all..
I have few comments ( a bit disappointed though) and questions..

comment:
i saw a video for the phone whilst browsing the net.. it still amazes me why Samsung didn't resolve the text-wrapping issue. You still need to PAN to read the text.. It should redraw the text to fit into the screen and get rid of the panning.. its VERY annoying...

Questions:
1. I have a Samsung Jet: the mailbox fills-in in no time.. i have to delete files frequently while my wife's Nokia can keep messages for EVER!!!

2. has anyone noticed any touch lags? like with the keyboard and buttons?

3. how is Wave with Arabic Support? Jet and other Samsung phones (D500) had problem reading Arabic SMSs from Nokia

4. Samsung Products suffer from accessory-shortage. When you go to an accessory shop you would find, covers, protectives, wind shield holders, etc for iPhone, blackberry, Nokia, or Sony.. but for Samsung, you rarely find anything.. is this going to be resolved now Samsung is coming with the Wave??


Thanks for your time...

      Orkut is Google's popular socio-networking site just like Facebook. The wave has an Orkut widget on its menu. Can we sync Orkut contacts to Wave too ?

                      1. Yes u can download using dolphin browser..
                      2. Yes Wen u connect Usb to ur fone it asks for that option..
                      3. Yes it plays Xvid and divx.. guess wat it plays MKV also without any soft..
                      4. Well There are some apps now available for this which are free in India..

                      As its a new OS it will develop in near future..

                      being a nokia fanboy from many years.. Samsung made my head turn towards Wave ;)

                      Its a complete Fone.. U wont regret buying this..

                      DON EVER BUY X6 :P!!!

                      Go Waveee !!
