Samsung Wave - I like It

[andrwclark]

In terms of build quality the Samsung Wave feels pretty rock solid. It is beautifully smooth and sits well in the hand. My only criticism is that it is quite tall.
Overall I was pretty impressed with the browser. Another decent effort Samsung. The Samsung Wave has an instant messaging tab in it's menu and pressing this opens up Palringo.

Overall I really liked the Samsung Wave but I must admit that it was the Super AMOLED screen that did it for me. The whole BADA experience was quite good. Nothing revolutionary.

He man, Im from Amsterdam and i have a question. This Samsung Wave model is being released over here and my carrier offered me some kind of deal. Either get this one for an extra 150 euros or pick one of the older models (link) for free. Wel im not really familiar with phones in general, but since you tested it... And I heard somewhere that this screentype helps improve battery life? Ive been looking for some advice and whether or not I should take the deal... Thanks in advance man!

if you can afford the deal then go for it otherwise using something free (older models) is still a better bet.

Wish you a great day

I'd love to know how it compares with the Samsung Fascinate that I'm looking to buy...
