Your set is a faulty one or there is some network issue, I reckon. Check the internet settings and other settings in 'Settings' menu. Configure all these network settings properly. If your problem still persists, go to Samsung Service Center soon.

          it seems u havnt really xplored neithr d phone nor d apps store,
          push mail function is vry much thr (i benefit frm its use daily),
          regarding d apps i think evry basic use app that one can think of is already thr in d app store ( though some amazing games r nt free but then this case is same with android as wel as i phone store ) and the app store is expanding everyday...

            sidh, 08 Feb 2011Hi friends ! i got Wave II few days back, its awesome phone... morethe youtube video prblm is due to slow(gprs) net connection combined with the high resolution screen of wave II,
            when i open youtube (normal http site & not mobile youtube site) on the phone through wifi connection then the vids run vry smoothly,
            the 3G launch in India + the new firmware upgrade wil rectify this.

              I have almost finalized on getting the Wave II myself. It's too good to resist. I don't think we should neglect it just because of Bada O.S. I checked out the prices at a couple of stores here in Pune and it's priced at 17,500/-.

              Bro, I would really appreciate if you can explore all aspects of the Phone and post a review within a couple of days. I am planning to buy it this Weekend.

                      but wat helped my decision was the growing no. of apps in samsung app store(its 3,500+ in India) and also it has a secondary camera...which makes it a complete package...!!!

                          Those who want to go for Android OS, have a look at the mobile "Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830". The price is 15,000 INR.

                          Good Luck...

                                I checked my GMAIL settings through Vodafone India and everything was fine. Still, am unable to get alerts and Inbox always shows 0/0. Any take on this?? I can check emails manually though.

                                Also, how does the Samsung Navigator work? Do I have to purchase it in order to route? It takes a while to get my current position.

                                        This will be my first Touchscreen Smartfone. Primarily it will be used for normal Call Operations, occasionally watching Videos and listening to Music, browsing n all...
                                        As of now, i am not sure what all Apps are present for Smartfones. But i feel that as i start using them, i will get addicted to them.
                                        The only thing stopping me from buying the Wave II is the Bada O.S. which i am not sure how it is.
