My Opinion: A LOT!
Appearance:
+ High-quality materials ("Brushed Aluminium" look looks great.)
+ Unibody (The Aufschiebefunktion the housing works perfectly and makes a very valent solid impression.)
+ Very well made (or similar No column can be seen.)
+ Design I really like (Based on the old Wave Hero series and is still something nice and new.)
o No mechanical shutter release more (I personally like this button, but ok here you have to get used just as Wave 1> 3 Umsteiger. Impractical only that some apps have also used the camera button. Hopefully this will be adjusted quickly.)
o speakers now on the back (can disrupt something, if you want to use the Wave as a jukebox. It must now stop lying on the front page, while playing music. Quality is similar to Wave1, for 4 people barbecue completely ok.)
o jack now down (I liked it better up, and here's why: When I used my Wave S8500 as an MP3 player, it is always put in a bag / mobile phone sock and when I briefly wanted to change the song or the volume was it is possible the cell phone pull just a bit out of my pocket, because you already could reach the volume rocker, and the small MP3 menu at the top of the screen for about 2 cm. Now it has it just completely out of the sock, what the whole thing just a little fummliger does.)
- "Answer a call" and "Reject call" now running buttons as touch-sensitive keys. (I'm sorry, I find these buttons terrible. It looks pretty and fits well with the design, but is easy to use technically a disaster. I have stayed several times, ended Apps unintentionally by pressing the right button. Since I have to first get used to it now better care and that's a shame.)
- USB connector on the bottom without a protective cover (. Too bad, can penetrate dirt was perhaps poorly feasible to incorporate what in the Design Wave So always nice in the pocket..)
- In ancient times Wave is gone my camera broken glass. A replacement cover gabsfür measly 15 euros from America incl. New glass and could be easily replaced. This is now no longer, because the glass is no longer used in the housing and on opening the unibody enclosure that slips dangerously close to the glass along. I hope it does not wear out and sometimes causing scratches on it. I once observed in a mobile phone from another manufacturer something similar. There was ne protective cover for pushing front of the camera and after some time she has left on the glass ugly scratches.)
Interior:
+ Bada 2.0 looks visually very good. (Matter of taste)
+ Power (the hardware with 1.4GHz processor and 512MB RAM SC make the Wave 3 to a real machine. Page Building, multitasking, opening programs, the menu back and wipe her, everything is super smooth.)
++ The browser (which we just have to go through poor bada users. Only the activation of the address bar by pressing this small semi-transparent icons on the bottom right of the screen, then the completely screwed-up solution, as the address bar jumped in the face at every touch. And Now: Excellent You could insinuate here was copied in the competition, but I always say: Better well copied, made as bad self)
. ++ GPS (The second big bada limp I want to use my S8500 as Navi, people, I tell you, it was not reasonably possible envious glances quick Satfix at competitive devices and frustration while navigating were commonplace today:.. Super Super !! ! GPS works perfectly so far with me. Satfix in the building! to 10! seconds, also very accurate. Really a pleasure !!!)
+ 4x4 icons in the menu (beautifully uncluttered, homescreens saves in contrast to the previous 3x3 optics)
+ There are a lot of new features to discover (small items such as:. If you wanted to delete an earlier e-mail you had long hold your finger on it and it opened a sub-menu where you could select "Delete" scandalous !, I thought that function no longer there must the emails you open it one by one and delete short time later the Enlightenment:.? One wipes once left or right and appear 4 icons for editing which:. "Reply", "Forward", "Spam check" and "Delete". Schick Schick!)
+ Very reasonable price
+ Folder function (works out as promised. My menu is simple tidy gorgeous. I was finally able to, for example, all the preinstalled programs that I do not use, such as Yahoo Messenger, WL Messenger, Route 66 Navi, etc. to a folder, I have called "garbage" and now they are out of the way. Then a folder for games and programs, and everything will fit on a 4x4 page. Really good!)
+ Camera (usual good quality and many options. Image and video quality similar to the result from Wave1. Typical noise in the dark. I was seriously ever asked for images that I have made with the Wave1 if I have ne SLR camera. ^^ )
+ Clear and comprehensive settings menu
+ Calendar, gallery, music player function well and do their job with distinction (I am very satisfied)
+ ExchangeActiveSync with hotmail account and balance with calendar function properly (I'm so far only not behind increased how appointments that were entered on the Wave can directly be transferred to the Hotmail calendar, but I hope that's just a matter of attitude - >)
+ Wi-Fi tethering yet (super convenient, I use very often, when I'm traveling with my laptop.)
o no Flash (Youtube videos you can watch, now even via Wi-Fi connection in good quality, but bada waived probably completely on Flash support and is based on HTML5. To me that's honestly not a problem because I flash on the phone just do not need.)
o Battery life (For me, the battery barely holds a day to have to say of course that I very often use the cell phone. It is clear, too new, because one wants to play, I guess you could under normal use loosely create the 2 days .>) - For me, this term will probably level off in the coming days.
o Sorry, there are not many apps converted to bada 2.0. I think that will change soon but when has appeared for the other Hero-Waves also bada 2.0.
o Live field (Yes is just available, but use I do it not because you are only a few pre-defined, for me useless widgets and a handful can store contacts.)
- Palringo is unfortunately no longer available. (Or I do not find the spare function -..> Did the program really like for ICQ used the moment I find no way ICQ to bring the phone up and running, except on the mobile version of eBuddy, but you can really only as a last resort . designate)
- Where's the music recognition go? (Too bad the function I really liked the old bada had also worked very well Vllt I also just have not found -...>)
- Unfortunately, I had been a total failure (battery out and back in, we went again only) and 3 unwanted reboots that surfaced / browser for various actions in the menu. I hope this is just a bug of firmware and will soon be resolved.
- Personal data of certain functions (I once flew over the terms and conditions and privacy policy and gravel with high ChatON held fingers on Samsung: "be ye not mischief with my data!".)
Conclusion: From the ugly caterpillar a nice big 4 "become butterfly in Samsung has well learned and brought a real top model with the Wave 3 Bada 2.0 is a great OS Who does not need the giant Appvielfalt and in the medium price sector... a very good looking phone is sure so happy with the S8600 as I do. I would really like given the 5 star, however, bother me, especially the sense keys and some above trifles. Therefore 4.49 star ^^
PS: Some things, of course, after a few days use not yet be assessed precisely. That's why I'm a little late filing within the next days. Questions you can of course like to ask in the comments.
