My friend got his wave yesterday, full HD video recording. It looked so nice. They are really making me start to reconsider my options. I really want a bb as I want to give my old phone to the gf and we would be able to bb msger each other and all my friends.

Just saw this on MoneyWeb: ".......Uys added in the same tweet as the iPhone 4 announcement that the Samsung Galaxy S has just arrived in SA, and a few hours later, he noted that the Blackberry Torch should be in SA in October."

I will still consider this phone if it is cheaper per month than the samsung wave. Say by R20/month

Anything later than October and people will start moving to the iphone and the galaxy s..... RIM better move it!
