The screen is actually scratch resistant and not prone to scratches as you mentioned.You also forgot to mention about the 720p video recording which is an important feature.
I really like the look of this phone! I currently have a Blackberry but am thinking of switching.
So nice model mobile phone,
Great phone, il buy it soon!
Heard that this model and Galaxy S (Android) is launched in India. Seems to be good ones…
Thanks for the awesome article, so I have been a samsung person for roughly 5 years now, and I lately upgraded from a samsung omnia i910 to the Samsung Wave and thus far I’m loving it! (I do miss some options of my omnia despite the fact that) I’m from Halifax Nova Scotia in Canada, I used to be originaly going to wait it out for the galaxy s to reach on the bell network however determined to shop for the wave instead and save myself $400.
Any phone in touchscreen phones which is better than samsung wave within the same price as samsung wave???…..i like this phone but than i am bit hesitant to buy this because of new BADA OS…….Please suggest……….Thanks in Advance!……..
Great phone …very bad in box headset been using the phone since a month,the phone is great , minor issues like kies lacking features such as calender sync etc, until the headset tht came inbox broke inside the phone itself, i mean the top portion of the 3.5mm plug remained inside when i pulled the plug, the company says its my mistake, I mean samsung phone, samsung headset and the thing breaks in its own connector and is stuck there, very bad connector quality but worse company attitude. i mean if one is buying a 18k handset the accesories should atleast be of good quality,never happend for the years tht i used sony or nokia,tht too cheaper ones.So if you buy the phone be ready to shell out more for a good quality handsfree
