you seem to be the only person responding to queries posted by others here. I would like to appreciate you for that. As my name suggests, I'm really a noob when it comes to exploring features on my wave. I tried to enable tethering and then mobile AP to supply wi-fi connection to my friend,but the phone doesn't allow me to enable both the options at the same time. I get an "unable to use packet data" error whenever i try to tether my gprs data. Please help. There's no point in enabling mobile AP without enabling tethering.

Anyway, to Blue, I sympathize with you regarding the options...but only in terms of not yet being very intuitive. The Wave is one phone that has more surprises than help menus. It's the only phone wherein I had to really go through the manual...and even that wasn't enough. I use the search bar in this section of gsmarena so much just to figure out how to do stuff. This phone really has capabilities that are seem to be hidden at first. But once you figure it out, you'll be pleasantly surprised and glad you didn't shell out so much for other phones that have less capabilities.
I've used symbian s60, symbian uiq3, iOS, WinMo, and I have to say that, even in its infancy, Bada is more capable (I have yet to own an android phone, but those in the Wave's price range has more issues than the Wave--try a search in their respective forums if you don't believe me).
Re your Wave concerns:
You CAN save contacts to card ("..." >"Save in My Files". You'll find them as .vcf files in the "Others" folder)
No phone is capable though of transferring all of them together to memcard, only to simcard, which the Wave can very well do. BUT bulk transfer IS possible in the Wave through Kies, that's how I transferred 992 contacts from my Nokia E52 in less than a couple of minutes (You'd need to save through Nokia Suite first.) If you already had the contacts in your memcard, you just had to select those and they'd be registered into the Contacts of Wave (My Files>Navigate to folder with the .vcf files ). You can also simply sync Contacts through Outlook, a sync server, or even through friends lists in your SNS account (one of the first phones to do this right out of the box).
Not being hot-swappable> I think this a small price to pay for the other features, I also think of it as an iPhone (which you can't take the memory out of at all) situation, but with a replaceable battery. (That would make iPhone4 ancient then if non-hotswappable is old) :D
Disabling autolock: Settings>General>Touch>Touch panel auto-lock (tap to grey if it's green)
Predictive text: In keyboard, tap and hold language key (globe icon beside spacebar). From there, you can switch to keypad (T9 is on the 0) or to handwriting recognition (in either full screen or writing box, which I find better than any PDA, a first for capacitive screens/non-stylus handwriting! And you don't need to "train" the screen)
If you think Wave customization is limited, check out what Wave owners have been doing to their units through mysamsungwave-dot-com, badaforums-dot-net, etc. Here's a video sample of some of my own homescreens:

(remove spaces)
Also, Wave has the best and most options in terms of an Address Book. Activate and synchronize your SNS (tweeter, facebook, etc) contacts with the Wave and you'll see what I mean.
I know Samsung left a lot of instructions out (GPS seemed like a throwaway feature until I found out about syncing free maps first through the Route66 Sync program that you had to download through the internet yourself. None of the literature from Samsung said anything about this). But I can guarantee you it leaves other, more expensive, smartphones in the dust once you get to know it better. That's what we have forums for. :D
Good luck and don't forget to use the search bar above! =D

I am just loving this phone.Its d best experience dat i had with a phone.
But have some issues. Can nebody suggest smthngs.
1) I think d qwerty keypad shud improve. D reason is symbols which r vv frequently used r not on d front screen. e.g. '.'(full stop) n ','(comma)
2) My sent msgs r automatically getting deleted. I hav made sure dat d option of auto delete is off.
3) I shud be able to chck properties of individual folders as well. A good File Manager is needed.
4) Media browser shud b seperated by Images n Videos. It shud not show them combined.
5) Notifications of Calls n Msgs shud b enhanced.
6) Small icon shud b placed on d top bar when d earphones r plugged in.
7) Highly need a software dat can view n edit Microsoft Office files.(.doc, .xls, .ppt and .pps files)
8) More Applications(I m patient about this)
9) Alphabet search on the right hand side in Contacts shud b available from othr applications also. Like Msgs n Call Logs.
10) N lastly, Where is d Digital Compass in ma phone.
Thanx a lot in advance for ne inputs.

Once it correctly adopted, the gold color pin of the head phone should be entirely invisible. You have to push the headphone little hard. I also had the same problem. But as the phone was new I was also scared to push it hard. But we have to.
