Short and to the point:
Like:
-superb screen with vivid colors, crisp image clearly above the competition (i'm very objective saying this) and that fingerprint proof really works
-great looks with the metal body and slim build, love the usb sliding cover (love that about samsung putting covers on all conection ports)
-camera is very good (more than you need from a phone) and video recording in 720p is quite impressive
-UI (user interface) seems very comprehensive and very pleasant to interact with( i'm a first time samsung user). It keeps things simple and straight forward
-that 1Ghz processor really does its job. Everything just flows without any stutter whatsoever
-love the swipe feature in call list to either ring or send a txt to a contact
Dislike:
-not being able to put on the home screens shortcut to applications only the widgets which is not always what you want
-earphones come only with one size ear tips
-no hot swap for sd card. You have to turn off phone and remove battery in order to acces the sd card.
-samsung app store has only a few apps
Conclusion:
If all you are interested in is a phone with top hardware specs (it beats most of competition on that) and you are not to much bothered about extra apps or ultra customization then this is the phone for you.
First thing you'll notice is how CRYSTAL CLEAR the screen is, absolutely amazing! And you'll be blown away with the quality looking through the viewfinder, taking a pic or recording video. And the scrolling... sheer joy. Don't be fooled by the camera being 'only' 5meg, it wipes the floor with my Samsung G600 and F480 Tocco 5meg cameraphones, the pics look the SAME as on my mate's 8meg Sony Ericsson W995 AND the flash actually works in dark rooms!! It can save a 1 GB java file in about 5 seconds, the thing is so fast! Dropped my keys on the phone and thought i'd scratched the screen - fortunately it's scratchproof GLASS - not a mark on it.
Three other points of note:
1. The easiest removable back cover i've seen.
2. A speaker on the FRONT of the handset(thank you god).
3. I was going to get a Nokia...
I loved my Tocco 'til i got this - the Tocco looks and feels like old tat in comparison. You won't even care the memory card slot's under the battery, the Samsung Wave is THAT impressive!!
This is a great phone. OK, so it's not Android, it's Bada - yada yada yah. But if you're the kind of person that likes having a capable phone with minimal fuss, then the Wave is ideal. This is in my opinion, is a scaled down, clipped back version of the Galaxy S. It boasts the same Super AMOLED screen and a 1Ghz processor, which means the interface navigation is effortless. Same HD video & camera functionality as the Galaxy S (which I also own!) with the addition of a decent flash, which is the one thing that the Galaxy S is sorely missing. It is a beautiful handset, ergonomically designed and is a pleasure to hold and use, with it's slim profile and solid, part metallic construction. Other positives are an amazingly easy to use battery cover release (yes, I hate the fact that you have to prise the battery cover off most phones nowadays!), a loudpeaker that is NOT on the rear of the phone (and thus is audible!) and a better battery life than the Galaxy S. All in all, if you don't want to go all out and spend bucks on it's bigger brother, the Samsung Wave is perfectly suitable. Go get one...
25/01/10 EDIT: Update - Samsung have now stopped manufacturing these handsets, in favour of the Super LCD screens on the Wave 2. I would recommend snapping up one of these jewels now whilst you still can!
