I have no complaints to the connection quality, ringtones sound loudly, while the vibro is not always felt. The location of the loudspeaker at the top creates advantages in the pocket, but at times there is a downside: if you put it upside down the sound will be faded. The same happens when you hold it in your hands as you often block the loudspeaker by chance. It irritates only when you play games.
Our readers would like to know about the drawbacks of the model, because phones cannot be ideal. This handset is not an exception, especially because it opens a new series. I have to mention that many defects will be eliminated while the series expands and new software will help as well.
What will I change in this handset? Of course we should mention the browser, which is not stable at the moment. It is the weakest point here. Taking into account the fact of quick updates I think in summer we will get a better product. We will discuss it again when we have a commercial version of the model. There is no auto complete option for the address bar and the scaling of columns with a double click is not always correct (both bugs were promised to be fixed). But in comparison with other OS this browser is not worse by any means. It lacks certain details and is a bit unstable because of Flash. We will see whether Samsung gets rid of Flash or tries to make sure the browser works well with it.
I have no complaints about the camera. I like the pictures and the video recording quality is excellent. With such a resolution you can even show the end product on TV screen at home (you will have to buy a cable additionally).
I like the mix of interfaces - TouchWiz 2, Android and iPhone. It is not a hotchpotch, but a comfortable, logical and easy to use menu. Samsung also added its own options like an adaptable menu. As Samsung is not geared to one OS only you can download contacts directly to the phone from social networks or Gmail. Nokia models require mandatory synchronization with OVI (prove me wrong if you can do otherwise easily).
Push services including mail are nice as well, though they increase the power consumption. The phone works in this case longer than Android handsets or S60, anyway.
This is the first phone with Bluetooth 3.0 and WiFi b/g/n, Super AMOLED screen, graphics processor and mDNIe technology. It is also equipped with a sound processor with the metal case and the screen protection glass into the bargain. Internal memory is accompanied by memory cards. Social Hub integrates all social networks activities. I can continue for a long time. Even a temporary absence of apps for Bada does not hide the truth about the sheer power of this solution. The model is a serious player in its segment and is surely one of the best models for the second part of 2010.
I should expressly mention that after Super AMOLED screen it is uncomfortable to use anything else. You always want to increase the brightness. In the camera mode you see the colors on the screen the way they are shown in real life. When I compared it with Nokia N97 Mini I understood that its screen is not a rival for Samsung. Nokia has no technologies to compete in this respect. People argue a lot about this type of screen, but you should have a personal experience before expressing your opinions. I had a similar story at the dawn of PDA emergence when I bought Palm Professional and carried it around without paying much attention to the device. I played some games, used contacts, but when the screen failed for good in a year I understood the amount of time a day saved by the model. It just worked without much accolade. The same applies to Super AMOLED as it just shows the true colors of the world. Some people prefer black and white, but I think it is silly not to use a screen, because it is bright, sharp and reproduces colors so well. Finally, the screen supports multitouch, has good reaction while pressing without mistakes.
Do rivals treat Wave seriously? More than that. For example, Nokia decided to fight by lowering the price of Nokia N8 to €370 for September. At the beginning Wave will cost around €420-450 in Europe. Can we compare them? Not at all. These are different models and while Nokia again tries to offer a smartphone for a small group of S60 followers, and attracts additional customers with a 12 MP camera, Samsung targets mass audiences with the emphasis on the interface, user friendliness, good materials and long operation time. Two different approaches have different results.
In general we have one of the best touchscreen models on the market, which will rule the segment for half a year. You should obviously pay attention to the model, which Samsung plans to sell in huge numbers and preliminary orders from the partners show their belief in this handset. In terms of hardware no other company will be able to offer anything similar in the next 6 months. The quality of Wave is already good enough for a stable model with numerous attractive features. I have been using it as my main phone recently and I have no complaints whatsoever.
