        cooza, 06 Jul 2010im starting to think that the GPS problems might be a Route... moreR66 is definitly slower than NDrive and Sygic (both in GPS signal locking and performance). You could get better signal if you enable all those fancy GPS features like A-GPS and download the file with GPS sattelite list for your area. Also it will lock the signal much faster when you're outside with zero movement. If you meet all those conditions you can get a signal lock within 30 seconds, which is not that bad, but NDrive can do it within 5 seconds. NDrive is faster, prettier, more feature riched, and user friendliness is top-notch. I'm not saying R66 is bad, but there are more GPS apps that perform even better. Does anyone knows where NDrive/Sygic will be released for markets other than Portugal/Spain/UK? Specificaly Croatia? Could I download the application now and then somehow convert the maps from other platforms like Symbian/WinMo?

          Now heres a good news to all Wave-Lovers..

          Our beloved Wave is selling beyond the expectation of Samsung.
          In every market it was realised it is now out of stock.
          Even running all Samsung factories at full capacity, they can't meet the customer demand.

          Wave is going to be the best seller of Samsung this year..

          And don't forget about Galaxy S - the big brother of Wave, has already sold 200,000 only in South Korea..

          Due to excessive market demand, Wave and Galaxy S have still not been lunched in some countries. But it is going to be realised very soon.

          And Wave-brothers cheers because thousands of applications for Bada is on the way..

          As sell is increasing, I think, price of Wave and Galaxy S is surely gonna drop, even though they are reasonably priced, worth every dollar and give you the best ever performance you pay for.

          The two brothers are kicking iPhone 4 out of the market.

          Galaxy S and Wave is the best smart phone in the market, no doubt about that.

                                  I get this error message: "No apps for the country selected" when I access the Samsung apps from Kies.

                                  By the way I selected 'US - English' as the language of the installation. Is that the reason that I can't connect to Samsung apps and get this kind of error message ??

                                  Thanks.

                                    Can someone help me on how to manually download the app from the Samsung apps store and install it in a later time ??

                                    Or someone can post the file in the compressed format and host it some where for other people to download ??
                                    (It would be grateful, if someone share this)

                                    Because when I access the Samsung apps from Kies, it said the service is not available in my country kind of message. What should I do ??

                                    If i manually access the Samsung apps website when I click on "Get" button then nothing happen.
                                    I want to download "Need for Speed Shift" and other app as well.

                                    Thanks.
