Design and TouchWiz 3.0

The Wave's design is solid but not a huge departure from Samsung's other touch-screen phones. It has an aluminum unibody and measures 4.6 inches tall by 2 inches wide by 0.4 inch thick. It's thinner than the Samsung Omnia II and feels nice in the hand.

Below the display, there are Talk and End keys and a Main Menu button. The rest of the time you'll be using the 3.3-inch Super AMOLED touch screen, which we'll get back to a couple of slides later.

The Wave utilizes the new TouchWiz 3.0 user interface, which Samsung promises to be more intuitive and customizable. You get 10 home screens and there are new widgets, including one called Buddies Now, which lets you see text messages from your most frequently contacted friends.
