        I am a proud owner of Samsung Wave II (S8530)
        First of all, I would like to thank GSM ARENA for their detailed reviews about the latest models in the market. It greatly helped me in taking the right decision...
        Now about the phone...
        Pros:
        -much cheaper than its equivalent phones (htc desire, iphone 3gs, nokia n8, galaxy s, nexus s)
        -Excellent, bright, clear and huge display
        -stylish body
        -nice camera
        -superb touch interface
        -logically structured menus and interface
        -slim build
        -nice collection of apps (though the count of apps available is much less than those for android, they seem to suffice all my needs)
        -excellent processor
        -a jazzy pouch comes with the phone itself

        cons:
        -battery backup could have been better
        -sound quality not up to the mark
        -frequently encounter ram issues

        I would strongly recommend this phone to anyone who wants to buy a good touch-phone, but is constrained by budget...

                  After all this discussion. What is your opinion to buy it or not? I want to buy it! But there are many different views.

                      are there any applications that we can download for the document editor, even for the paid upgrade?,

                      hope bada 2.0 comes out soon...

                        Probably the best phone for the money, even phones twice the price are not better than Wave 1 or 2.
                        But the only pb is Bada and its limited number of apps. But i don't care for apps. By the way there are many touch screen java games which are very good too.

                                        I don,t know how much touch difference response is there in iphone and wave-II but there is a great difference in wave-1 and wave-2, simply because OLED have faster response time then LCD. LCD display are capable of 1 ms response time offereing a frame rate of 1000 Hz. On the other hand an OLED have less then 0.01 ms response time enabling it 100000 Hz refersh rate. Now because wave 8500 have Super AMOED which is far superior then any OLED so we can just imagine the difference, simply it could be thousand times better in wave 8500.
