The Samsung Wave 2 Pro is obviously, the bigger brother of the Wave 2. Although at first glance, these two Smartphones may look exactly alike, the primary difference between the two is that the Wave 2 Pro offers a built-in QWERTY keyboard which slides out from the side. Other than this, the two are almost exactly alike – fairly priced Smartphones that deliver the functions that you need.
Good Business
As the name implies, the Samsung Wave 2 Pro is a Smartphone that caters to the more professional users. Testament to this fact is the full QWERTY keyboard on the device which is an absence in its younger brother. The addition of this key feature means that it will be easier for users to compose longer messages using the device. This makes it more email-friendly as it allows users to bring their work with them while they’re on the go.
The QWERTY pad slides out from the side of the device and you’ll have to rely on the accelerometer censor to facilitate the auto-rotate function on the Smartphone so that you can use it on landscape mode.
Adding Some Fun in Functional
The Samsung Wave 2 Pro isn’t all about serious business. It also sports a number of features that makes the device enjoyable as well. For starters, there’s a very user friendly multimedia player on board the device which is compatible with most file formats of today.
If you get tired of listening to your stored tunes then you can very easily switch on the FM radio. If you hear a song that you like, you can make use of the FM recording feature of the Samsung Wave 2 Pro and add this new tune to your growing playlist.
This Smartphone is also equipped with a 3.15 MP camera which you can use to capture candid moments wherever you go.


The new
The Monte’s media player supports all of the leading video and music formats and comes complete with a stereo FM radio with RDS. It also features a 3.5mm jack where the user can plug their own headphones into the device and a YouTube application for easy viewing in addition to being able to stream video content from various other online sources. The useful 227MB of storage space is handy for saving your music, though you may want to upgrade to 16 GB using a microSD card (highly recommend if you’re into a lot of stored media). The phone also has an integral 3.2 megapixel camera with several useful features, although unfortunately, it does not feature a flash and this minor oversight will certainly limit those photo-ops to daylight hours. It does, however, come with face and smile detection, and can also record QVGA video. There is also a great secondary camera on the front of the device which can be used for video calling – a great feature for those who enjoy utilising this 3G feature.
Due to the fact that the Monte is hardwired for social networking it is a joy to seamlessly upload pictures and videos to your main online sites in order to rapidly share them with friends and family. The phone’s integral apps afford quick access to such sites as Twitter and Facebook. Your social networking information can also be conveniently synchronised and attached to the contacts in your phone address book, too, saving tedious manual work and time.

Unique features never fail to make anything stand out.
Rumors are saying that the Samsung i5700 Galaxy Lite which has been announced since last September will be using a different name when it finally launches next year. The news came out around the same time Samsung said they will no longer be having the November 2009 release of the device. Pretty bad marketing tactics for Samsung as two major competitors of the device have also started to take their share of the spotlight.
