    Just a quick note to say that many reviews of mobiles seem inadequate on the facts. This phone is better than, or equal to, the Wave I. The screen resolution is excellent and I see no difference between the two. I just traded the Wave I and really enjoy the larger screen for watching video movies. I highly recommend this version over the original-but both are good phones.

            I have purchase samsung wave 2 a month ago. This phone looking great. It provides spaces for files, high speed and great operating system, touch screen is well.


            Before purchasing the phone i read all good reviews. I have faced some bad experience like dull camera quality. Photo by this phone is not good enough as per its specification 5 MP camera. It can not catch photo with good quality. how ever video is quite good.

            And most important thing is you can see movie in this phone with good quality sound and clear vision just like watching movie on LCD screen....

                Ruban, 10 Jan 2011Hi can anyone tell me how to assign shortcuts in wave II? ... moreThere is a shortcut bar at the top of the main screen. To access that tap on the middle of the top of the main screen, the bar with shortcuts will be dropped down.

                You can access sound profiles from that and change from your choice. But you can change to the last accessed sound profile from there only.

                  Kt, 10 Jan 2011Hi wave 2 users- has anybody of u tried youtube video play?... moreVery good of course and obviously it depends upon the quality of the video in Youtube.

                  The people who are shouting that Youtube video quality in Wave 8500 is not good are laymen who do not have proper knowledge and shout like a person from Finance background gets into a simple IT issue.

                  While the Youtube opens in a PC browser, it goes to the URL 'http://www.youtube.com', on the other hand while the Youtube opens in a browser in a handheld the URL is 'http://m.youtube.com' (even when you type www.youtube.com and click go, the browser redirects it).

                  It is simply the mobile version of the Youtube site which stores videos of lesser quality and smaller size obviously, to manage better compatibility (screen resolution and download time) in wireless mode.

                  Don't expect a Full HD (1080P) or HD (720P) video in general from the mobile version of the Youtube site and shout annoyingly anymore.

                  Rather try to locate the URL (the address of the website, to be noted) while opening any site from any handheld and you will be able to find the differences not only in Youtube but in most famous websites.

                            when will this handset be available in showrooms in NCR? it's such a pity that all competitors have launched and selling their sets at brisk pace. but samsung is nowhere seen marketing 8530. they may have accepted defeat.
