The real difference between C7 and wave ll follows..
I think C7 is better! It has Amoled display, FM transmitter,Free GPS navigation, Better HD video rec,
good speakers etc.

at the same time this one has better still cam,
a bit large screen, FM record, better vid player
and higher ghz.

Designwise, C7 looks professsional while this one feels so younger and sporty yet little childish.

      AnonD-12732, 03 Jul 2011Don't buy this phone. After buying this i am facing lots of... moreits much much better than nokia c7. and sound quality is very good in the earphones (classic and bass enhancement), quality of the song downloaded also matters(250kbps+). hd videos have 5.1 dolby enhancement for the earphones and its also great!!
      very good games available at samsung applications(a bit costly though) but matches to android games for sure.(some if not all)
      and no one download 300000 applications in the phone. 30-40 are more than enough. and you can find this much number of great apps and games in bada. its just you have to search some more.

They say it has 512 MB RAM, but in BadaSI it shows only 73 MB available. If you run an intensive game it gives "Not enough Memory" error and you cant do any thing on it, You have to close the game.
              Sound is poor as compared to Nokia phones.

              In that image you can see that only 1 game was running on phone, no widgets no apps, still it gave Memory error.
              Also see below image, it shows 73 MB RAM.

                                I bought this piece of beauty couple of months ago....Here is something I feel about it now :

                                Thumbs Up:

                                1. Excellent Camera.
                                2. Briliant display.
                                3. Scratch free Gorrila Glass (its a gr8 relief for most of its users like me).
                                4. Solid Metalic Build Quality (Feels Superb in hand).
                                5. It uses One of the Fastest CPUs available for mobile device.
                                6. Fantastic Batery Back-Up (2 days/avg use).
                                7. Everybody talks about the OS. Its not android, So has less applications blah blah. But for me its not a issue at all. I am using it Just as a mobile device to do some additional stuffs ...smartly. Instead Bada OS is quite fast consuming less Batery than the Driods, and we need to think logically one thing: Is it possible to use the 200000+ applications in our mobile ?
                                8. FM recording is Superb.
                                9. A smart phone with the above features comes also with Front Facing Camera.
                                10. Compare its specifications with that of Apple IPhone-4 here in GSM Arena. You will find they are almost identical. But one of them cost Rs. 35K+. No need to tell which one.

                                Thumbs Down:

                                1. Very low sound (Ringtone, Media Player, Radio, Alarm) even in
                                Headphone also its bit lesser than my expectation. But its clear.
                                2. Talking in Wave 2 (I mean making call) is not as friendly as Nokia. I feel noise sometime. Using headphone while talking is also problematic (Can't get signal if put the Phone in pocket). It may be a problem with my service provider also. But overall talking with it is not a gr8 fun.
                                3. I like its big 3.7" Display most but at the same time its quite heavy and bulky. U can't operate it using your one hand (I'm taliking about agerage Indian hand, Not of people like Gr8 Khali).
                                4. Low RAM. After installing couple of apps it promts to uninstall some application. Quite annoying.
                                5. Social Networking Sites are not very interactive here. No SKYPE, GTalk.

                                So if you are looking for a Phone under the range of Rs.20K just go and get it. But plz don't expact it as a replacement of your Laptop/Desktop. Its just a phone - a smart one.
