Samsung Wave smartphone

A few answers for you folks:

It uses Samsung's funky looking Kies system for syncing. It's an icon-based interface that you can set to sync your contacts and media content automatically, or drag and drop when it suits. This should be provided on disc with the handset, though it wasn't on my test sample.

Bada is Linux-based.

Yes, you can multi-task, and you can replace the battery if you need to.

@ Anonymous Coward - The screen is WQVGA, 432x240 pixels, with 262,144 colours. There's no support for AVI / DivX / Xvid video. I'll get back to you on the higher resolution playback.

@ RTFM – the fact that I had to input http://, even via the URL predictive text function, caused the shock. I could learn to live with it, but still...

@ Ian Davies – the K800i isn't a Sony Ericsson Walkman handset (they're the ones with 'W' in the name). The music players in other Sony Ericsson handsets aren't so good.
