Bada really sucks. Traded my wave in for a htc desire. Way more intuitive on top of sense ui than touchwiz wil ever be plus android has alot more apps. Wave has a slightly sharper screen but 3.3inch is kind of pathetic compared to desire 3.7inch whch is just ova 1mm bigger of a device. It makes a diff when watching movies and playing games. If the wave came out with android then i woulda stayed. You can get galaxy s but dam it realy huge and no flash. My advice stick to android or iOS4. Htc desire/motorola milestone Xt720/droid x/iphone4 should be your options.

B.G., 28 Jun 2010Sorry for bothering but could u answer does it comes with a... moreYes I have a warranty. Ebony Gray coz that's the only color available then. I have not seen a black one yet save for the dummies. Try the site, get a basket, they won't charge anything until delivery starts. Like I said, read the terms of the contract. Your queries are all covered therein. Good luck with your Wave... Get from eXpansys nearest you. There are eXpansys near here but Wave wasn't available then.

Well, Samsung can't just mass produce so many of them first as they didn't know how customers will respond as Bada is a new OS.
Anyway, just be patient for a few months and the phone will come to your country. For me, I can't wait, so I ordered from an online site. It's the best phone ever for that price.

Considering we're closer to Korea than Europe, heh Samsung sure doesn't seem to friendly to their asian siblings, LOL.
And here I was already hyped to claiming my Wave tomorrow, I receive a text early in the morning that it's gonna be delayed till this Thursday. Sighs.

Maybe second batch coz i saw the dummy phones in Baguio City are Black not Ebony Gray. Whether second batch or not I guess it will be the same. The good thing is that it will have newer FW, hopefully... If waiting is that hard, then order online but shell out additional PHP3-4K.

Anonymous, 28 Jun 2010I had this phone in my hands, i tested several things on it... moredude i dont know what lag your talking about as i've had this phone for about a month now and it has yet to lag, only problem that i ever had with it was it didnt play a certain app for a while and it turned out that was the apps fault. Anyway for a good lil review this phone will last a good 2 days for most users and im talking heavy usage(36 hours). the app store has 330+ last time i checked but only a few apps are really good such as the free nfs game and the football one. The user interface is the best and looks alot like the iphones just better as it has smarter short cuts and everything is just intuitive. the screen + mulititouch is the best i've ever used even better then the iphones 3gs (not used 4g yet). the camera + video recording is a+++ and so is the video playback. The music player is also the best i've used(in terms of sound output) and the headset provided are very good( wont need to but new ones unless your going to spend £100+ on headsets). overall all this phone is awsome only thing i would like is a dedicated google maps app and free satnav but this will all come with time, another month i think
and for those that say bada is a flop just talk to owners or look at gsm ranking or even ask why samsung are giving nfs free to only the first 1.2 mill downloads ( it suggests theirs at lest that many owners or expected owners) now that doesnt sound like a fail to me,
only better phones then this could be the iphone 4g or samsung galaxy s but the both cost twice as much and very little diff
