There are a few hundred available now and growing everyday, I love this fone, great job samsung

Check your processor: Settings > About Phone > System Info > CPU. Check your CPU usage. Don't tap the screen, don't touch anything. With calendar Widget running (apart from "Settings" and "Home Screen") I get 1%, occasionally it rises, but goes back to 1% again.
                        If you have more, some widget or application is draining it.

                        If that's not the case, test the drain in "Flight Mode". Also make sure that GPS Signal is off: Settings > Connectivity > Location > Enable location services (off!).

                        With 2G, locked screen, my phone drains 5% overnight, that's 8 hours. I think that's pretty much ok, since theoretically it would hold for a week in that state. If you can't get off the 5% in an hour with low processor usage and in flight mode without gps I'd say there's not much else to test and you have to take it to Samsung.

                              From my point of view .....kudos to Samsung for the pricing ...quite brilliant indeed...if the wave was priced closer to the galaxy s rates then the OSbada was sure to fail but 17k - 19k..increase product sales to increase app developers interest..way to go Samsung

                              and hopefully the consumers agree that the wave is brilliant and hopefully the Samsung app store becomes the next big thing in the coming months

                                I believe it's related to the firmware. My Wave doesn't even have the outside mode for the screen that all the reviews talked about... =\
