Ok.....Ive had the Samsung Wave 3 for over 5 months now.... What I feel is that its an Awesome "Media" Phone.. i.e. great for Music, watching Movies and Videos, The Screen is unmatched for any phone in this budget , and the HD camera has awesome Video clarity in good light. The Main problem here is that , its not atall a good Networking Phone in the sense ...theres No Whatsapp, no skype, not even a decent Gtalk /Facebook app. So...Ive started using my Brother's 2 yr old LG Optimus One phone for Whatsapp etc.... WIll use the Wave just for Media... Its really sad, if samsung could give Whatsap/skype /Nimbuzz for BADA , then this phone wld be better than most phones out there..

No cover on the miniUSB? Much worse sound quality than the first Wave? Why?

> In reply to RejZoR @ 2012-01-23 08:10 from M}3q - click to readThis is called marketing. Waves are for former feature phone owners, not for technogeeks.
Just suppose you get a Galaxy IV with an attractive AND durable body like Waves' — all metal and Gorilla glass.
You won't buy a new phone again in a year or so - because the old one still looks almost like new, and the OS gets regularly updated (think Cyanogen).
Now this is the last thing Sammy wants, right?
Nothing personal, just business - like in any other trade.

What i don't understand is why does Samsung pack such wonderful hardware specs and features into such rubbishly supported OS ?

And what wonders me the most, why are Wave 1 and 3 inside a metallic case, but higher end Galaxy phones are all made of freakin plastic. If you want a proper metallic phone you have to use stupid Bada, but if you want Android, you're limited to full plastic case. What gives!?

What i'm wondering even more is why doesn't Samsung offer all models with all operating systems? They have bunch of all the same phones on the market so why not release all 3 OS for 1 phone model? So i could chose between Bada, Android and WP7 for my GT-S8500. Great phone bogged down by retarded BadaOS.
Some ppl are trying hard to port Android to it but without specs it's a hard task. Samsung doesn't seem to be willing to help at all.

I bought waveII once & the pathetic experience made me to sell that in three months. don't wanna bet my hard earned on an experiment anymore!! why will I buy others if android & windows is available in the same price.Don't forget the pace of windows in creating apps..& the backbone of Microsoft. I don't think Its easy for Bada to survive.

I really feel so stupid selling my Wave 1 because it is a great phone for buying galaxy s...it is good but not better...bada it's simple,quick,smooth and bada 2.0 it is perfect with TouchWiz 4.....now i will sell galaxy to buy Wave 3...i loved this phone...

I already buy Wave 3, now I can see that all of negative comment for this phone is useless.. I already get the feeling.. I'm not joking, but Wave 3 is simply amazing.. First, it have a body that make anyone want to touch it..
Second, your eyes will enjoy when saw its screen..
Third, it's so damn light for a steel..
Fourth, every body will ask in their heart "what the kind of type that phone??" when you just put to your pocket..

Yeah.. if you buy Bugatti Veyron then take it to your 'normal life street'.. I prefer buy Lancer Evolution X on it..

c'mon man, I'm not talking about superb phone, now it's show time for an only 950 malaysian ringgit phone..
So.. don't argue me with your more expensive phone, coz Wave 3 price isn't that expensive, especially for me...........

The disadvatages of Bada OS begin with no voip support which is an extreme must in a smart phone. I curse myself for being a Wave owner. Actually, samsung is cheating its bada users without giving timely updations, useful apps n afterall, voip. Its just like a cobra without venam or a lion without teeth!!! Its my personal advice that nobody should go for bada phones anymore.
