    AnonD-974, 12 Feb 2011hey bro I completely understand your situation but its too ... moreSpecs wise Wave II is superior among the other 2.
    Just a brief review from you will be helpful. One Liners will also do. Like, how is Bada O.S., Is there any Lag while operating the Phone, the Camera Quality, S-LCD Screen Quality and the Battery Life. And, any other Negatives that u observed till now.

    Thanks.

        Guys, after a lot of thinking, I am finally planning to buy the Samsung Wave II this Evening.
        Was very undecided if i should buy this Fone or Galaxy Ace or the soon to be launched Wave 833. But am listening to what my Heart says which says to go get the Samsung Wave II.

        @ bada hook

        Though the Wave 833 sounds promising, it still has a 800 Mhz Processor. So, i think it is a step below Wave II. Only +ve over Wave II is the Amoled Display i guess. I researched a lot on the Amoled and SLCD Screens and though Amoled is superior, SLCD is not at all bad. Atleast for people switching from TFT Screens, like me.
        And, you never know when they will launch Wave 833 in India. Coz, as of now, they just plan to launch Ace in India.

        @ arun,

        Even i am thinking if it will have any effect on the Price. But i dont think it will. It at all it might increase, if they decide to add Amoled Display to it.

        @ sama,

        Bro, Can you post a quick review of the Wave II you have within the next 4-5 Hours if possible. I might buy it this evening. Let me know if there is any Lag, call clarity, battery life and if it is worth the Money.

        @ All,

        Is there anything specific that i should check while purchasing it ? As i heard some Pieces had some Issues.

        Please reply urgently Guys. 5 Hours to go.

                asgme, 10 Feb 2011Where do you find this setting in your Wave II. Tell me, I ... moreits *#8740#

                as per what I have researched CP uart mode lets you use your phone at its full capacity

                while on the other hand AP uart mode is for preventing battery drainage
                obviously the phone does not performs at is full capacity but it saves alot of battery

                S8500 used to come at CP uart mode setup out of box where as my phone's default mode was AP uart

                people say Samsung is doing this because S8530 has Slcd which consumes too much battery..!!!

                    talking about the speaker first its not that good actually I used N73 before this and it cannot match its quality...
                    or i wud say it has an ordinary speaker...


                    now talkin abt the call quality thru the handset(dis is wen u put d phn on ur ear n talk) i wud say i found it better than my N73....there had been no call drops no network problems the voice on both the sides is Crystal clear...!!!

                    also the earphones provided with the phone are very good at least I liked them.....because the earphones provided with N73 were pathetic...

                    I hope it helps...!!!

                                      Is this mobile loudness is good or bad? Please cover the following:

                                      -Ringing of the phone
                                      -When receiving a message
                                      -The Caller loudness (Clear? Quiet? ...Etc)
                                      -Will the caller hear me well?

                                      Thanks. Please answer because these are preventing me from buying this phone.
