Ive never been all that in love with touch driven Symbian, regardless of the handset.
Im still finding functions missing in my Satio that was present in the N95 8gb phone i came from.
Clearly, Symbian 3 and 4 will be much more touch orientated and provide a better experience.

Love ARDefender on the Wave... great augmented reality game, easy to play, fun and works well too. Anyone else tried it?

Wave is very very far behind SE Vivas 
Thats your opinion... I have a wave for 3 days now and i still cant find anything better on vivaz/satio.
And things like user friendlyness, screen, audio quality wave gives 2-0 to those SE phones. (actually the screen is 5-0  )
Even the camara on wave is quite good like on satio (outdoors)
Some things and settings are a bit confusing at first time, but after a few days you get used to and dont want to go back to symbian crap |

I played with the Wave a live one & it felt nicer than the Galaxy. The build quality is stunning & the look & feel
Phone?? What phone?? |

Agreed, wave build quality is superb. Would be great if it had android. Bada isn't too bad, sort of a bridge between smart phone and feature phone.

yes wave build quality is great... and very solid.
galaxy S is a good looking phone but you may get the feeling that if you drop it the phone will broke into many pieces! lol |

Most phones which are mainly built of metal rather than plastics like the Galaxy feel much more solid and well built.
Thats why im looking forward to the N8.

Another one with a Wave since last Saturday 
After being a Die Hard Fan of  and /// since 1997, i bought the Samsung Wave and it's really a great phone from Samsung.
Just hope that have a model like this one on the near future

Dont you find Bada really limited or annoying with its options as opposed to Symbian ?
The other day i used my girlfriends and it wouldnt let me cancel a download from Samsung Apps. 20mb the file was, but every time i hit the icon, it just paused the download and then if i hit it again it restarted it.
It was only until the next day, after feeling pretty bad about using up 20mb of my girlfriends unlimited (T-Mobile 150mb unlimited - yeah right) bandwith, which probably resulted in her being charged, for an app which failed to run too, did i notice instead if you hit the edit button in the top left corner of the menu screen you can cancel it from there.
Not very intuitive if you ask me !

No i donīt, and it's just the opposite. I had the Satio for a while and i just prefer the Wave and it's UI

You're right to cancel a download the only option is hit the edit button and cancel it.

I was going deep into the phones settings, even though they're not very deep at all, trying to figure out how to stop the download. Rather silly i think to edit the menu icons in order to cancel a download.
The two just arent linked in my mind. Its like, selecting a new ringtone and going into display options. Silly.
Regarding the point of settings, i do find the Wave's settings really shallow. You go into settings to find things like display, connectivity etc, as you would expect, but where on a Symbian handset you'd find lots of options, menus and submenus, on the Bada phone you get a single screen with very little to pick from.
I remember one setting, for downloading i was expecting to see lots of options where to save files to, what connection to use, that kind of thing, to find only one option, which if i remember right was "download via wifi priority". Is that it !? is that all the options i get to choose from ? yes or no ? Limited indeed !
