Samsung Wave S8500 Smartphone (1 Ghz, 2GB internal memory, Super AMOLED display, touchscreen, bada OS) ebony-gray (Wireless Phone Accessory)

Customer Review

I had a year ago, the Samsung Wave to a mobile phone contract to be ordered (however, branding-free) and was initially quite impressed.
The processing is chic, the display gives a good picture from and the menu design is relatively easy to use and intuitive. The processor works quickly and smoothly, no problems with it. In addition, the battery lasts a long time, could even get on a good 2 days trying with some surfing. So far so good.

The problems that had some with the firmware update, I can not even confirm. It is possible that Samsung wants to eradicate the errors with updates - stupid when installing the update itself without major problems is simply not possible.

Furthermore, the Wave has restarted several times (once every few weeks) easily without warning - whether just directly in use or in your pocket. This is annoying because for example, was gone in the first case, a straight anfangene SMS and in the latter case, some calls were not received because it has not yet entered after you restart the PIN.

Incidentally, the question arises: What would you use his Smartphone? For phone calls, send texts and go via WLAN to the Internet, it is perfectly adequate.
It becomes critical when 3G and GPS reception. The places is really very weak compared to other devices and makes surfing the everyday rather a torture than a relief.

Sought Useful Apps? With Bada perfect nil. Something Useful such as WhatsApp does not exist on the current state and will probably not developed only once. The selection is limited to the greater part of stupid minigames or other meaningless stuff. Bada is so in my eyes a development into the blind alley.
Very great for the amusement of the preloaded Facebook app. Something thay I've already not seen ...

Now I lay personal just on the added value by Apps great value - what else I have bought a smartphone? Considering the still weak 3G connection, I just do not have 2 important properties to be happy.

Again an overview of the plus and minus:

+ Great look
+ Good workmanship
+ Faster processor
+ Battery life

- Crashes
- Updates not or hardly possible for gravel
- Laughable app selection
- Weak 3G and GPS reception

Ultimately, the question is on what you value. If you want to as I have a complete package with versatile application possibilities, is the Wave definitely at the wrong address - especially since there are basically a better alternative for everyone.
