Super AMOLED Touchsceen!
Welcome to the future with Super AMOLED screen technology! The Samsung Wave features a stunning 3.3 inch AMOLED On-cell touchscreen display. AMOLED On-cell technology is a new type of AMOLED display that is extremely thin and nearer to the surface resulting in the sharpest and brightest screen ever seen on a mobile phone. Colours are bright and vivid, even in daylight, and images are sharp and crisp. Not just a joy to look at, the capacitive touchscreen on the Wave is responsive and reacts instantly to your on screen commands.
HD Video Capture
With the Samsung Wave you can capture the action in brilliant high definition with 720p HD video recording. Let the camera roll with one press of the camera key and capture all the action in perfect clarity. When you're finished, upload your masterpiece to YouTube or Picasa and share your work with the world!
Bada OS
The S8500 Wave runs Samsung's new Bada operating system. Bada allows users to customise the home screen with interactive shortcuts such as live web feeds as well as the ability to download apps from the dedicated app store. Choose from a wide range of apps from top gaming titles to social networking apps.
Samsung Hub
Samsung Hub is designed to keep you in touch and up to date. Samsung Hub on the Samsung Wave pulls live updates from your favourite social networking sites including Facebook and Twitter and allows easy photo and video uploads. Status and photo updates fro Facebook are updated in your contacts list and messaging from multiple channels (Email, instant messenger) are compiled into one feed.
High-Speed Processor!
The Samsung Wave features an impressive 1GHz processor allowing for an amazingly fast response time and high-speed multimedia functions whilst at the same time conserving battery power. The 1GHz application processor also delivers a responsive touchscreen experience and can handle running multiple applications.
5.0 Megapixel Camera
Including a built in 5.0 megapixel camera with auto focus and an LED flash. the Samsung S8500 on Orange takes quality pictures that you will want to share with your friends. Store them in your phone, email them to friends or upload them to your blog.
HSDPA
HSDPA offers a similar benefit to a 3G network that GPRS offered to the GSM networks. It offers a higher speed data transfer with a compatible handset. HSDPA is often referred to as Mobile Broadband.
Wi-Fi
With Wi-Fi you can use your Samsung phone on Orange to connect to a local wireless network (W-LAN) to connect to the internet. This offers a cheap (sometimes free) method of connecting to the net to download emails, files, or check on your favourite website.
GPS
With built in GPS you can use the Samsung Wave to locate your position, plan your journey, and as a general Sat Nav device, when used in conjunction with compatible mapping software.
A-GPS
A-GPS is a network service that can locate your position to within 100 metres by using a clever technique called triangulation. By sending a signal to three cell masts, A-GPS will work out your location by the location of the cells and your distance from them. When combined with a GPS enabled mobile phone, the addition of A-GPS enables a faster GPS satellite lock.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth 2.0 is the next generation of Bluetooth connectivity. With Bluetooth 2.0 one of the biggest advantages is the possibility of listening to music with a compatible wireless headset in stereo. Less wires, less mess, more noise.
Music Player
With a built in music player, you can carry your tunes with you, in your pocket, and listen to them when you want. Most digital formats are recognised on the phone, including MP3 and AAC.
Web Browser
With a built in Web Browser you can access internet sites directly from your handset. Check the latest scores, look up train times, get a weather report, or find the answer to the question in the pub quiz. With the inbuilt web browser you have the power of the internet with you, wherever you are.
The Samsung Wave uses new Super AMOLED touchscreen technology resulting in the brightest and sharpest display ever seen on a mobile phone. Running Samsung's new Bada operating system, the S8500 Wave can be customised with new apps from the Bada app store and pulls live updates from your favourite social networking sites. Use the 3.3 inch display as your viewfinder for the 5.0 Megapixel camera and record and play back HD Video on the phone. The Wave also boasts HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity for lightening quick web browsing and a built in GPS receiver.

LN - Nottingham-28/07/2010 I have had the Samsung Wave just under a week, I was really torn between this phone and another and I'm so glad I got this phone. Unlike other smartphones the battery life is great, I've only charged it once since I bought it. The internet, apps and messaging are all simple and easy to use and once you get the hang of Widgets the phone is pretty nifty! Looks great, just a nice size and lovely screen. Camera quality seems good, can't tell the difference from my previous C905 which had an 8MP (this is 5mp) and call quality also seems good so far! I would highly recommend this phone, it is my first smartphone and a good introduction to the concept and the touchscreen too. Touchscreen isn't too sensitive which is a bonus, obviously you can get fingerprints on the screen, but it is easy to clean with a soft cloth. Enjoy if you buy!! :-)
