      there are millions of apps availanle in android so its good....thousands of apps thre inbada..so its bad!!

      judge with the quality of the apps.....a person hardly uses 15-20 apps ....

      but still..even by quality and variety BADA is lagging...bt its just the begining..and see the available apps are not at all bad..really

                      Any Wave II Owners please let me know if a Screen Guard is needed for this Phone or no and if the SLCD Screen catches Fingerprints easily ?
                      I have put on a Screen Guard but i observed that as this is a Touch Phone, a lot of Fingerprints come up on the Screen Guard very easily. Is it the same with the SLCD Screen ? Should i remove the Screenguard ?

                      Btw, this Forum has gone very Quiet recently...

                                Hey guys,... I have a small doubt regarding the firmware updation... i'm using the latest version of kies, and i once updated it and it completed 100%, but then also when the phone is connected it says 'new firware update is available', but when i tries to update the phone gets automatically disconnected from kies & reconnects by itself. Is it a problem with kies or my phone... i have tried re-installing kies, but the same thing happens again & again.... Please help out friends.....

                                  Guys, I'm planning to buy this phone but still hesitate about the OS. Is bada ok? What about the developers? I mean, android got thousands of free useful software, for it is an open-source OS, right? How about bada? I think maybe galaxy ace could be the answer. It's cheaper and got froyo in it. But it has smaller lcd and ram. Anyone can give me advice on this dilemma?

                                    Bada is more stable than Android ... And the RDS radio works a treat!

                                      Guys, i am also a proud owner of a new Wave II since today evening. The Phone looks and feels stunning. Have not yet got a chance to explore the Phone.

                                      However, i had a couple of Queries :

                                      1) I got Wave II in Metallic Black Color. I thought it comes only in Ebony Gray. Black looks Stunning though.
                                      Can anybody please confirm.

                                      2) I have put a Screen Guard. But i am not sure if i did the right thing. As this is a Touch Phone, Lots of Fingerprints come up immediately after using it for some time. Am thinking to remove it. Does this Phone really needs a Screen Guard ? Is the S-LCD Screen prone to fingerprints ?
