As far as I know there isn't any yet, but this is changing on daily basis as samsung apps are starting to pick up, now over 380+ apps and growing by day.

      paul's review , 09 Jun 2010i got my wave through post yesterday and been playing with ... moreI am stuck between Nokia E72, HTC HD2 and Samsung Wave(S8500)? I really liked the Samsung Wave. Is it worth buying? My only gripe about it is the text re-flow problem in the Dolphin web browser.

          if you all want to know how great this phone is (Wave) just check out this review, which is writen by the expert in this field. It would answer everything you need to know about this phone, and why its better than iTrash or anything else currently in the market.
          The true potential of this phone yet to come out, you will be surprise when Bada apps start to flood in, and how smooth they would run compar to Android, or simbyan, etc.
          happy reading.

            GSMArena, please recheck these;

            GPRS and EDGE are both "Class 12" as per Samsung mobile website.

            Thank you.

              Anonymous, 28 Jun 2010Hi Imran I read that you chose Wave over Galaxy S. What ... moreIt was a difficult decision. As Galaxy has Android and that offers a lot of apps. Also its screen size is bigger(it can be a disadvantage as well as the phone becomes bigger). But Wave has many advantages too. Wave build quality is great. Its OS is highly fluid and I was getting a very good price on contract. You can say like 250 Euro in total for phone and for that price wave hardware is a great deal. Also one other thing that I believe is Samsung will give wave a lot of support as it is their first and flagship phone for Bada and they are very serious for making it a success. Also Samsung has already some good games for Wave. I hope it helps you.

                    Hi everyone, I think you would all thank me for this, this is the best ever site I come across talking exlusively about Wave everything you need to know. (still nothing much on Flash player on this phone) however its written by the well respected writer in this field who is generally very critical, but he truly struggles to fault Wave, have a read and tell me what you think! thanks (remember this is in four parts so read all four parts to get the full picture)

The folder can only be seen when you connect fone to PC as Mass Storage. I don't know however to reinstall them from that folder. I will try removing my MC and try the apps if they still work. If not, it means the apps are stored in MC. But im currently charging so I post when I've tried.

                              Hi! Everybody. Can somebody please tell me how to create the menu icon on the screen? I have to press the center key to go to the menu everytime. The pictures of Samsung wave on gsmarena show that there should be the menu icon on the bottom of the screen. I have the message icon instead of that. Can it be replaced with the menu icon? Somebody please tell. Thanks in advance.

                                        Planning to trade my current Samsung INNOV8 to Samsung WAVE.

                                        So exciting when I come to play around with the phone and can't stop me from thinking of it.

                                        It has everything I need out of the box. Rather than I have to search for the app and install it 1 by 1. As I'm currently need to install quite a number of app on my Samsung INNOV8 in order for me to get those features on the Samsung WAVE.

                                        Thanks again.
