Samsung S8500 Wave

Does anybody know that Wave has a disadvantage for showing phone numbers in the phone book while a call is ON? When I went to a shop to buy Wave, salesman told me that when try to view a phone number while another call is ON, the current call disconnects & the selected number dials and Samsung has stopped production of Wave until fixing this issue & some other issues. Is that true? I don't know if he was trying to divert me to another phones that he had in stock. Anyway, I just want to go for Wave if this issue does not exist or got resolved.

Yesterday I was reading "the best touch screen phones" and it mentioned Wave II S8530 as one of them. But today I find Wave Wave S8500 instead of that. It there any change of mind, please make it clear?

this model no more available in market. Samsung replaced this model with S8530

Where can get this one? I am looking for one and the dealer in Chennai say that the product has been discontinued as the next version S8530 has come. I am not all that impressed by the new version as much as the older one.

Hi Wave lovers, Here is a bad news for you, Samsung Wave production is stopped all over right now. Wave2 will be released in start of next year. so stop dreaming of your loving phone. even am also disappointed by hearing this. this is true. i mailed to samsung support n got this reply... see the below URL for Wave family: http://wave.samsungmobile.com/

any idea when wave will be avail again?

I am also interested in buying a new phone, did some research and got to know that this is a best one available with such a price but the question is the shortage issue with its screens resolved and now is it readily available in the market ?

I want to buy my first smartphone . I have selected samsung wave and nokia c2. I will mainly use for watching films and internet . can we upgrade bada os if higher version come.

After much deliberation and online research, I finally took the plunge and bought the Samsung Wave a week ago. Its got an amazing camera, records HD (720p) videos perfectly, even in low light, is speedy and has the best screen I've seen on a phone at this price range. Bada OS is just 6 months old so the apps are limited and alright, its no Android or iOS 4 but its still damn good enough. HD videos/movies run smoothly, the music player is good, the browser is not as good as Opera but still good enough. I only found the Widgets placement on the home screen a bit quirky. Call quality is awesome but people you'll call will hear ambient noise from around you. Love the messaging functionality, I tend to write really long SMSs so its perfect for me. WiFi performance was great, so browsing over WiFi was a breeze. Camera records HD videos and takes 5 MP snaps with ease and with good detail and less noise, especially outdoors. Pros - Awesome screen, fast processor, great camera, good for watching/recording HD videos, call clarity and quality, good for music playing, No other phone as good as Wave under Rs 20,000 as of now Cons - Few apps, awful Samsung Kies pc software for managing the phone connected to a pc (Samsung should take a look at Nokia PC Suite, not perfect but so much better!), Browser not as good as Opera.

Hi there, Are there availability issues with Wave? I have checked with two Croma outlets in Delhi, and they say that Samsung is not sending them as there is some issue with Wave's touch. Wave users, please tell if it is something to be concerned about. Thanks Amit

Does it have Google Maps 3.0? I don't think So.

Guys i am planning to buy this Phone hz it.. Can any of the current wave users help me,hz the Music clarity, do it have any problem in performance,please help me here...Thanks Rony

I am planning to buy a phone and I am confused between Experia X10 mini pro and samsung wave. My primary use of the phone would be net surfing and stock trading. Please tell me which phone should i purchase.

I would love to buy this phone but for Bada OS. Can we run Android instead of Bada OS ? Kindly let me know.

err...tich tich ....I fell sorry for Iphone owners :,-( Can someone gift me a wave ,this Diwali ;-)...... Nice phOne BTW ,,,,,,,,,,

awesome phone..i just got an opportunity to lay my hands on this slim looking beast..its really a beast to be unleashed..cool camera with auto focus, built in flash and its 5mp..how cool!!! even better, display is truly an HD..can give iphone a jitters!!

Kindly rate this mobile with the same rang of latest moblile available in the market advise me this phone is the best buy among the latest phones available in the same range.

Samsung is betting big on bada OS. It is conducting worldwide bada OS applications competition with $2,700,000 price amount to be won. This competition is intended to fill the Samsung Apps with lots of applications. Hope that happens...

It is one of the coolest phone i have ever came across. No offence to any one but Its superAMOLED display and touch is best in class even when compared to iPhone. Video recording of 720p is cool feature, even remains crystal clear on a 32" screen. However Camera is good but not awesome. One of the drawback of this phone has been said that its just a feature phone but mind it...Exchange Active Sync makes this phone as smart as possible. On the Application front, yes, it can be a risk coz there are just 300 application in Bada store right now. However the number is increasing at a very big rate as it has doubles in just a matter of 10 days. Don't know about about the long run but at price tag of 16700 INR its a total steal and it will be much cheaper from a week or 2 from now. If you are not a Iphone fanatic buy this one or any android, Ohhh! tht's uber cool OS, i am an avid fan, but its is much economical when compared to any Android with same features. I wanted to test HTC legend too before buying this phone but it was no where to be found in some parts of Delhi, hence, bought this and I'm lovin it :).
