What you find *Shallow*, others might find user friendly mate. =) I have used symbian almost all my life and know the menu-submenu system that it follows, what you miss is that the same menu sub-menu path gets a lot of criticism that Symbian receives as a touch driven OS, not to mention the inexplicable lag and frequent crashes/freezes that it gets for an OS that is considered to be the most *mature*. And what was the download that gave you that option btw ?
And from where does the styling Indicate that it is more for the ladies ? Metal means *for ladies* ?

How is it that by going into a menu such as connectivity, to find you only have one option user friendly ?
I call the vast options of Symbian more user friendly. For example, when i connect to the internet on my phone, i have it set to always ask which connection id like to use, wifi, 3G or another source.
On the Bada equiped Wave theres no such option. You're forced to use 3G, which is expensive unless you have a decent data plan. How do you use wifi ? i cant even figure it out other than how to turn it on or off ! not very user friendly at all
Steve Litchfield described the Wave perfectly when he said its someones "my first smartphone". In other words, its like the kiddy version of a true smartphone.
Regarding the styling, a diamond shaped camera glass and menu button ? the fact that half the apps for it on Samsung Apps are for calculating when your period is due ? umm, hello !!
Oh and not to mention the way the default font in all menu's and text boxes is a groovy girly type. My girlfriends model also came preloaded with pictures of baby animals and flowers !
Lastly, i dont get any frequent freezes or crashes with my Satio at all. Stable ? totally !

 you're not wrong there I do change phones alot but sometimes it's been problems & somtimes it's I don't like them. But I would not go as far as saying I change everytime you log on This iphone is a keeper by the way & you can mark these words. Longest I ever kept a mobile is nearly 12 months but when I do really like something I do stick with it & I love this iphone

I think what annoys me the most about the Wave is the battery. Now my girlfriend only really uses it for calls and texts. She only texts moderately and makes about 4 to 5 ten minute calls per day. Every single day her battery dies and i find charging it via my car charger when shes with me often very necessary. To say the Wave has a 1500mAh battery which is 50% bigger in capacity than my Satio's my phone lasts much longer with more use. Strange to say the least. I assume the super amoled screen of the Wave is a battery muncher.

My wife gets 2 days easily from her wave with moderate use. I have reflashed it a couple of times, and it is now running BADA1.2, which is alot faster in operation than 1.0.2, and definitely seems more battery friendly. Also get Samsungs version of SWYPE on it too, which is pretty good.

Not a BADA thing, my Galaxy S does the same. More a Samsung thing I'd say.

Me too also my battery last for 1 day only  moderate use, running the default firmware of Wave.
I think it can be fixed by firmware upgrade.
@ john m:
Thanks for the info, i will try also that new firmware,hope that battery issue will be fixed.

I assume this 1.2 update can be done via Samsung Kies to the current Wave without hacking or modding in any way ? Id like to update her Wave if possible.

Some LG models also do that thing where you cannot use certain functions when battery is low. It's time at least Samsung changed this & I allso noticed that the screen goes darker when battery is low. Samsung Kies software is terrible
