Samsung S8500 Wave - user opinions and reviews

The audio quality was good in bada 1.0, but in Bada 2.0 the audio quality got washed down the drain. :-( Bass is too boosted and I can hear hisses. Maybe it's just me.

Same dilemma here. Guess we can only use one Samsung account. I can't find a way to use a different email.

You need to make anew account with anew e-mail ,but make sure this time (when signing up) to choose the country of the firmware.
