Oversized 3.7” SUPER Clear LCD
Bigger is better. Wave II’s oversized 3.7” SUPER Clear LCD display makes enjoying on-the-go games, videos and photos more fun than ever. And with SUPER Clear LCD, you can enjoy much brighter and less reflective display compared to general TFT LCD.
Improved Input Method
Wave II comes with advance features like t9 Trace input, which lets you input data simply by gliding your finger in a continuous motion over the letters of a word instead of punching in individual keys. With t9 Trace you can input data much faster than the conventional method.
