hi vineet bajaj, somebody said that we cannot change the themes in this mobile, how far is it true. I am interested to buy this phone. please answer me
hi Sreenivasareddys, ibought it 3 month ago….
but i can change … you should go to SAMSUNG APPS in your selfphone and get a theme and install that.
samsung wave price in vijay sales ahmedabad is Rs. 17990/- but, on other website it is available at Rs. 15990/-
why price difference is high?
were can we download themes?………….
I cannot find WOW HD on my Wave s8500's sound options. Your review said it is included but its definitely not on mine. Any ideas? Can it be downloaded?
how do i swicth ,y alert sound when tiping a messsage throw mxit .it makes every time a tick sound for every letter
Go to sound setting and disable the system sound or reduce it's volume.
My opinion is the wave hardware configuration is good. But you cannot use it in full fledge because of it software you need to pay route 66 for GPS and no other software can be deployed into bada os. You have to wait for a long timeeeeeee… I waited for 6 months and sold out the mobile and now I am using HTC desire it's bit low quality display than samsung wave. However it's rocking with other hardware and software functionality….
I just love samsung wave models…..
