Samsung S8500 Wave - user opinions and reviews

Heating up of phones during charging or heavy use is quite normal. Every electronic device heats up (e.g., laptops and computers which contain at least one built-in fans to reduce expelled heat) when powered on. More so for those devices that have metal battery covers such as Samsung Wave since metal conducts heat more efficiently than plastic battery covers.
Electronic devices heat up because energy absorbing or releasing processes such as charging or discharging (playing games or internet surfing via wifi) are not 100% efficient so part of the energy flow is dissipated in the form of heat.

Well do you guys noticed that a page in the built in browser doesn't reload the page automatically even if you close the browser and re open it. You have to manually click the green refresh icon to reload the page. You can check yours with this page, the Wave forum in Gsmarena and please tell what's going on? This is most weird thing I am having....

Re 20% battery drain after 1 hr of Wifi surfing, rate of battery drain partly depends on signal strength. Also, you can't really assume battery will be drained completely in 5 hrs because power drain is non-linear. You'll notice most phones drain relatively quickly from fully-charged to around 90% but it drains more slowly below 90%. Battery life also depends on how many live applications you are running simultaneously, so it's really pointless to compare battery life without describing how you typically use your phone. (I require more food and thus energy after a rigorous workout, but I'll require less when I'm sedentary.)
