Blue Wave updates

Samsung has released firmware updates in a series called Blue Wave updates. These are created in order to add value to the player after it has been released. Samsung claims that the updates are created based on customer feedback, and that they are the company's way of expressing their care for their customers. The first Blue Wave was released in December 2007, and included support for

phone connectivity and Bluetooth file transfer. A second Blue Wave update was released in late January 2008 which included FM radio recording/playback, improved touch sensitivity, as well as three games as an additional download. This firmware update, however, was recalled from Samsung's download website soon after its release, due to numerous bug reports. A bug-fix update was released two weeks after. A beta of the third Blue Wave (v3.15) was released on March 31, 2008. Improvements over the previous version included a calculator, more UCIs, a full-screen album art view, and the ability to play games while listening to music. Fans were disappointed of the little amount of new features this "Beyond Imagination" firmware update contained. The final version of the third Blue Wave (v4.13) was released on April 22, 2008. This version was only for bug fixes and did not offer new features. On May 29, 2008, the first 4th Blue wave beta (v5.05) was released in Korea along with a new program (EmoDio) to replace Samsung Media Studio. This firmware update has been the biggest update for the P2 so far, containing password protection, subway maps of major cities, two new games, a touch-screen-only hold option, text viewing of TTS files using Emodio, voice recording, and 3 customizable user DNSes. A second beta (v5.08) of the 4th Blue Wave was released on June 30, 2008. It only fixed bugs and did not add any new noticeable features. After a few days, on July 7, 2008, it was quietly renamed a final release. Fans were truly disappointed and much discussion arose concerning further Blue Waves for the P2. The final 4th Blue Wave (V5.10) was released on September 10, 2008. It also fixed bug problems such as noise problems, page scroll error, track playback error on specific conditions, and playback noise.

Still, other European countries offer RDS as the default. It is also possible to change from MTP to UMS and vice versa, and it is also possible to change the firmware's region.
