Hey Hi,
The Samsung S8500 Wave is a very good phone.I would like to get an invitation for launch party of the same.You can call me on 9821881850 for more details.
Thank you for the superior article, so I have been a samsung consumer for roughly 5 years now, and I lately upgraded from a samsung omnia i910 to the Samsung Wave and up to now I’m loving it! (I do leave out some features of my omnia regardless that) I’m from Halifax Nova Scotia in Canada, I used to be originaly going to attend it out for the galaxy s to arrive on the bell community but decided to shop for the wave as an alternative and shop myself $400.
