This review is from: Samsung S8500 Wave Unlocked GSM Phone with 5 MP Camera, Touch Screen, Wi-Fi, gps navigation and Micro SD Memory Extention--International Version with No U.S. Warranty (Black)There is so much to be said about this phone, so I will just break it down into different categories, lets begin!:Screen: The beset in the business, as good as the Retina display, all angles of this phone look good, the brightness is great, I keep the brightness level on 4 out of 10, and I am perfectly fine with that 24/7 be it night time or day time. Sometimes when it is really dark that is too bright (!), so I have to actually set it on 2/10, so just imagine what full brightness looks like, it is just an amazing display. I watched Avatar on this phone and I would argue it looks better then on the TV, and with the great built in sound (both external and headphone sound)this thing blasts. A lot of people complain, that this phone has poor sunlight legibility well I am here to tell you that there has been no problem for me, I live in Orlando, FL and the sun is out all the time and I can read it better then any other phone I have had before this, so no complaints here.Build: They did not skip anything with materials here, the FEEL is just great, you think it would be too thin but it feel just perfect, I had an N900 before this phone which was a brick, and this is a breath of fresh air. I have the all black model and it is very sleek, much better looking then the burgundy looking color that is shown in most videos on this phone. The back of this phone uses what appears to be a brushed aluminum look, but when you take the battery cover off, it is a solid piece of metal with no gaps anywhere, great job Samsung! Also this is one of the newer phones these days, which have a little door that blocks the charging port from getting dust/damaged.Multimedia: As stated I watched Avatar on this thing and it blew my mind. One thing I REALLY like about this phone, is that you do not have to down convert these videos, just put the video on your memory card, and the video player will automatically adjust the resolution which is very neat. The music player is also spectacular, this phone uses Samsung DNSE technology and the music really sounds great, better then my Gen 1 Iphone (actually MUCH better). When you hold the phone horizontal it shows CD's, what you do is you can scroll through the CD's and what is neat is the album art is on top of these CD's, so it feels like you are actually going through a CD collection. There are cool ways to browse albums as well, there is a circular alphabet dial that you touch and it takes you alphabetically to whatever letter you are looking for, once you let go it takes you straight to that letter to browse the albums. Also when you are listening to a song, one swipe across the screen (to the right) takes you to the next track and the swipe to the left takes you to the previous track.Internet Browser: The Browser is great, and shows flash! It has a control similar to the iphone, basically pinch zooming to go in and out. Also accelerometer mode work in the browser as well as the full on screen QWERTY. Not to mention scaling all of the sites perfect for viewing. There really isn't much to say here, other then the browser experience is amazing and that it is as good as anything out there from any other brand. Camera/Video: The Camera on this phone is one of the best 5MP shooters available on the market. It is VERY fast to shoot, compared to the many other 5MP camera phones I have owned, including the N900 and N97. It also has the new touted "Touch Focus" feature that is becoming a big thing these days, basically touch an area on the screen, the focus area will go align there, then when you hold down the snapshot key, it will focus exactly where you touch, I have tried this thoroughly and it is NO gimmick it actually works and works damn well. I took some pictures of a tree and made sure it focused up top, and sure enough the focus ended up there. There is also face and smile detection, the face detection worked just fine, the smile detection I have not tested that as of yet. Now for the video recording it is better then Iphone 4, there I said it. Don't believe me? Go on Youtube and compare it yourself, at the time of this writing t...
