    Jack, 19 Oct 2010Wave series is on bada loserface. Also, the specifications ... moredude i agree.i quite like this phone and i also have the s8500.the only real changes apart from the size are the screen(which isnt as bad as people think) and the hspda,which isnt a big deal to most normal users.i wouldnt mind having it.samsung could have put a super amoiled screen in.its a marketing thing.wait six months more and yourll see one with an s-amoled screen after everyone has bought this one.i bet there will still be people complaining about it when it comes out too.

          I had Wave since a few months, super great phone. Don't need a bigger, heavier one...especially since Bada 1.2 will come to Wave soon.

              I thought samsung wave 2 wud be 3.5' super amoled,bigger battery,android OS.But what we got is downgraded specs.3G supports only speeds upto 3.5 mbps...I wish wave was available with android.It wud have been unbeatable combination.

                Any people having battery issues might like to try setting their activesync to manual. My phone would go flat overnight but after trying this the phone now lasts for days.

                  Hello guys, is s-lcd different from super clear lcd? If it's the same, i suggest that the specs should be updated, it's confusing when you are using two different terms for the same reference.

                  Y'know, i really don't prefer the wave 1's 3.3 inch screen, why they don't make it 3.5 at least? And now they're making a 3.7inch screen but without the superamoled technology that makes the wave 1 a success!?

                      Could you please clarify what are the differences of Wave I and Wave II ? I am so confused with all these comments. Please try to be as clear as possible. I am wondering if I shall buy Wave I these days or wait to buy Wave II next month. Thanking you in advance.

                          anonymous, 16 Oct 2010can someone tell me what is the difference of this to samsu... morethe 2 main and possible only real differences are that the wave1 has a super amoled display and the hspda is 7.2mpbs where as the wave2 has a sc-lcd screen and an hspda of only 3.6mpbs.if your not into tethering your phone to your pc and you dont mind sc-lcd the wave2 is still a good phone.sc-lcd screens arnt bad and you can check it out on youtube but if you have the wave1 like me its hard to go back to a normal screen after useing super amoled.the other main factor with this phone is its expected price which seems to be way to high for the changed features as you can get the wave1 for practically the same price or even less now that its been in the market a few months.although i like the size of the screen on the wave2.if they drop the price i still might be tempted to try it.as for the new bada os update,the wave1 will get it through kies at the end of november.

                            can someone tell me what is the difference of this to samsung wave I??? coz when I compared the 2 phones, the features are pretty much the same and I think the only difference is that the wave II has a good lcd w/c is not a big factor...

                              I have had this handset for less than a month, i noticed on the first day that the headphones, and ignored it,thinking that if i buy one from the shop it would be okay, but to my surprise, it was not working. i have to charge the battery everyday, at times the phone switches off itself. sometimes I may be making important phone calls it just cuts in the middle of the conversation. I have a worst experience with this phone. face value its very good but

                                not superamoled, no glass resistive. Wave2 switch to super clear LCD. the first brand use super Clear LCD is HTC. superamoled is much better to superclear LCD. because superclear LCD is enhancement of TFT LCD. pleased samsung dont desegrade spec and features, you know wave s8500, Galaxy S is the no.1 hits worldwide. goodluck. samsung fan let see what happened nextyear 2011.
