Customer Rating :
Rating: 4.1



Product Description

The Wave is indeed the S8500, the first handset to receive Bluetooth SIG certification for the new Bluetooth 3.0 standard. Bluetooth was left out of the list of leaked specs but we will presume that Bluetooth 2.0 and possibly 3.0 is on board. Besides Bluetooth, the Wave will offer a 3.3 inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display, five megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, 720p video, DivX support, 2GB internal memory with microSD expansion, HSDPA connectivity, Wi-Fi, 1 GHz processor, 3.5mm headphone jack, aluminum body, 1500 mAh battery, and the Bada OS with Touchwiz 3.0.

5.0 out of 5 stars Samsung Wave ....First shot at BADA and a home Run, August 18, 2010

There is so much to be said about this phone, so I will just break it down into different categories, lets begin!:

Screen: The beset in the business, as good as the Retina display, all angles of this phone look good, the brightness is great, I keep the brightness level on 4 out of 10, and I am perfectly fine with that 24/7 be it night time or day time. Sometimes when it is really dark that is too bright (!), so I have to actually set it on 2/10, so just imagine what full brightness looks like, it is just an amazing display. I watched Avatar on this phone and I would argue it looks better then on the TV, and with the great built in sound (both external and headphone sound)this thing blasts. A lot of people complain, that this phone has poor sunlight legibility well I am here to tell you that there has been no problem for me, I live in Orlando, FL and the sun is out all the time and I can read it better then any other phone I have had before this, so no complaints here...

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice Phone with Beautiful Display, July 28, 2010

I bought my Samsung S8500 Wave here in Germany - it's the international version so it should be the same one as offered here. It's my first Samsung phone and I am thrilled with it! You can Google the S8500 and find numerous detailed reviews - so I just want to mention some highlights.

Pros: Stunning display - easily much nicer than the display on my *Phone 3GS. Thin and reasonably light but it has a very solid build - the back cover is a solid piece of metal - I assume aluminum. It has great ergonomics for the phone function - easy to dial, use contacts and the speaker sounds great. I was concerned about Samsung's Bada OS - but it is very smooth - easily as smooth as on the 3GS. The battery is replaceable and it seems to have a little longer battery life than the 3GS. The display has some sort of coating which resists fingerprints - I have had no problems with fingerprints on mine. I also really like the fact that you can have up to six home screens. And - it has... Read more

Running on the Roger's gsm network in Toronto, Canada.

This turned out to be a really great phone. To be honest I originally figured I'd end up getting an Android phone. Now I'm going to stick with this phone, just because it's that much of a tightly designed operating system that is almost always right and correct out-of-the-box, and because the hardware is so nice.

There are only a couple of things that aren't perfect, like lack of voice dialing for example. And there are not as many apps for the Bada operating system as there are for Android or iPhone.

But everything else works so well that I'm just going to get along with these few issues. I have all the apps I need at least so far. Except for Angry Birds Samsung are you listening!

Actually there are a lot of very good games available, and many popular iPhone games do make it to Bada - eg Earthworm Jim, Buka, Plants Vs Zombies, Flight Control (Airport) and Asphalt 5. And, the Bada... Read more
