Eg. if you do a screen capture on your homescreen, it is simply a snapshot of it.

Something similar to the print screen on the computer.

                    My usage pattern is similar to yours. Maybe I shall try with your setting.

                    Anw, I saw that there is actually a 1-month free trial on navigator? True?

                    Also, if I use the GPS, example for geotagging and retrieving my position, will I be charged?

Even when locked, when call comes it alerts who the caller is and gives you 2 options, accept or reject and a note to unlock thogh you do not need to unlock to receive of reject. If you chose any, the fone automatically unlocks. When not locked, 6 options.

                          For those who have not read the Manual. The two tips are true...

                                Amazing experience riding on Wave ~
                                Nearly 2 weeks owning Wave.

                                This is my first smartphone so I don't really know how average smartphone last, but for Wave, it is about 2 days for light usage.

                                I doubt the phone can last 400 hours on standby. Anyone can clarify? My battery dropped around 20% after 12 hours of non-usage (of course, i was sleeping). Is that usual(no the hours i sleep :P ) ?

                                I do encounter some problem and seek to clarify with other Wave users.

                                1. Is the lock button not sensitive? Sometimes it requires 2 to 3 presses before the backlight lit up.

                                2. When there is a call, the backlight do not turn on. So when I am in silent mode, I have to depend on vibration only.

                                3. When there is a call, I will need to press the unlock button several times before the backlight lit up.

                                Any others facing the same problem?

                                Before I end, let me share with you guys some amazing(hidden) features.

                                1. Pressing lock and menu button at the same time allow you to screen capture.

                                2. You can actually change the 3 icons at the tray. Go to menu, click edit. You must drag out the icon from the tray first, before you can put an apps or other icons into the tray.

                                Enjoy riding on the Wave!
