Like i said, i saw no options in my girlfriends Wave. Either its because its running old firmware or simply because its an earlier version of Bada.

after a very long time of not being here, here i am again!
i have been a loyal SE user for the longest time but just recently (yesterday) got myself a Wave GT-S5253 unit primarily because of its touted features and of course, the price. i toyed around with it last night until the wee hours of this morning and my final conclusion is that its living up to its much-publicized hype (at least here in my country).
it looks like a second-rate iPhone alright but i don't mind. its the features that i am after in the end, not necessarily the brand. it runs the latest phone OS from Samsung: the bada, which as everyone knows is a relatively new system. for everyone's information, bada is not like a Windows that smartphones runs. bada is a proprietary OS for Samsung just like Symbian for Nokia, etc. one can only expect things by what it can currently offers. bada, like i said is relatively new, thus, there are a few apps available for phones running it. we can only expect for more apps in the near future (i hope).
so far, so good. it does fine and gives me the things i basically wanted in a new phone. it being a touch phone is a given but having wifi b/g/n is a sure plus (specially from where i am)... browsing around its features is very simple as the menu is quite basic (which is plus to me)... so far, the only thing that doesn't impress me that much is its camera. but the camera thing is not much of importance of me since i have a stand alone unit to do that job for. of course, pundits will say the today's high-end phone should have that feature, phone these days being an all-in-one device for most people. i had that thing in mind when i was using those SE phones. but the Wave camera could have already added that AF feature. its the only thing lacking for me to consider this unit as an all-rounder.
so far, so good... i am loving this unit. the last Samsung i had was the D600 which is still working fine but already passed on to my younger brother. Samsung builds it units quite well as proven by that great slider (almost 6 years already and still kicking ass!)... this new Wave phone i guess is pretty much well built, too. the case texture is just a bit too slippery (as my wife has observed)... i am also planning to find and get a suitable protective case to at least protect that gorgeous screen.
reading from the previous comments for this unit thus far gives me an impression that most owners are wanting more from what the unit can offer. i just can't help but throw the question of why they didn't somehow did a little research about the unit before buying it. i did and i knew beforehand what to expect. and for the price that i got it, i guess i am pretty much satisfied. had i wanted a unit that offers more features, i would have gotten another unit!... peace to all... this is just my 2-cents.
i guess the only thing that will really make this unit that exciting for me is a firmware upgrade which eventually will spell out some really cool (hopefully) features and other really useful apps. i just hope that these FW upgrades will be coming out soon for new fans of this Samsung bada phones... new FWs = better features and of course, better performance...

no, mate. i didn't mean you and i don't mean to offend anyone here... i think you're feedback about this phone is actually much appreciated by similar users and owners for that matter which is much like what i also wanted to elicit from readers with the feedback i also give about this phone
the only thing this phone lack based on my personal preference is an auto-focus camera!
aside from that, the phone is already awesome for me.

i know that the Wave 8500 has the AF feature but mine which is the GT-S5253 doesn't have
but i am still thankful for wifey for this gift, notwithstanding the non-AF camera

I find my girlfriend's Wave AF very hard to use, there seems to be no click between no press and full press on the shutter key. Therefore you either dont take a picture as you try to judge the half press, or take a picture without focusing more often than not.
