Friends : Please comment on the following points.
1)How is the picture quality. Does the camera has image stabilizer, or the images get blurred if the hands are not completely stable while taking pictures.
2)Is it possible to store contacts on outlook. OR to restore contacts from outlook.
Many thanks in advance...

@Nik.thanx a lot.in my country the price difference between both the phones is only about 4000-5000.so i did not consider price as a factor. Moreover if Bada OS was so popular then Samsung would have included that in their Galaxy S. For me Bada OS is only an experiment done by them,so we are still uncertain about the apps it would support.

Wave users in India those who use MTNL 3G services, please tell me how to change the network settings from 3G to 2G. Another thing, every time I try to use the internet, it shows connection failure. Are there any specific settings for the MTNL internet & 3G services ?

Wave: Super AMOLED capac... more@ Alvy, we take your comparison of Wave & N8 rather sportingly. But you should also remember that the N8 is expected to cost about 25000-26000(INR) whereas the Wave is about 17500(INR) but 70% features of the Wave are comparable/better to/than the N8. Personally my biggest grudge against Nokia is their gross overpricing of their products. Some of them really defy logic.
Bottomline is that Samsung have produced a very good product in the Wave at a super competitive price. Only thing lacking is the bits & pieces in the apps which will be addressed as the appstore grows.
Peace !!

What made you so foolish to compare Wave to N8.
Let me tell you something my dear foolishguys.
Wave can never get close to N8.
Wave has 1ghz and 512ram because of that fat bada woman.
480x800 on 3.3inch screen is good for stupid people.
You are a huge fool to compare 5mp to 12mp.
When will wave get (USB ON THE GO ).
When will wave reach class 33.
Hey! dont fool again. LOOK AT YOUR FACE

(we don't need a lens cover,its scratch resistant)
Wave: Scratch resistant surface.
N8: 16GB internal storage.
Wave: 1.5GB internal storage.390 MB user available storage(poor wave,its card slot is also below the battery)

10 reasons why is Wave better than Nokia!
1. N8 - CPU 680 (A6) vs 1Gz (A8) - NO CHANCE vs Wave!
2. N8 - Symbian vs BADA (speed test) - NO CHANCE vs Wave!
3. N8 - NO LED for VIDEO - NO CHANCE vs Wave!
4. N8 - VIDEO is 25fps vs 30fps (better CPU) - NO CHANCE vs Wave!
5. N8 - old AMOLED vs Super AMOLED (you must see) - NO CHANCE vs Wave!
6. N8 - only 256 mb of RAM vs 512mb - NO CHANCE vs Wave!
7. N8 - 1200 battery vs 1500 - NO CHANCE vs Wave!
8. N8 - NOT have mobile AP - NO CHANCE vs Wave!
9. N8 - 360 x 640 vs 480 x 800 pixels - NO CHANCE vs Wave!
10.N8 is BIGGER and UGLY and wight 135 g vs 118 - NO CHANCE vs Wave!

Plz reply. .Any way, you can purchase on line for the "Picsel Smart Office", a document editor.
You need to register on Samsung apps website and use your credit/debit card.

Anonymous, 30 Sep 20101.Wave or vivas pro?
2.Is it possbl to instl doc editor?
Plz reply. .Simple, Vivaz Pro is plastic and wave is mostly aluminum metal.
To me, only the brand (SE) for Vivaz pro is better than Wave(Samsung).
It's hard not to get the Wave, I'm still an SE fan but I really have enjoyed and satisfied my Wave.
Choose Wave, you will not regret.
