Samsung S8500 Wave leaks again, reveals dazzling specs

13 February, 2010
That first Bada-running handset by Samsung is certainly impatient to go public. After we saw it advertised on billboards yesterday, it now made a live appearance and revealed a large part of its specs sheet...

      And the fact that you can't use the ENTER key.

          1)Nobody but Samsung fanboys are excited about this phone, which will probably be buggy.
          2)Nobody will read something as large as what you wrote if doesn't even have space between paragraphs, correct punctuation or grammar.

                All I really want was wait for the ELSE Intuition or X10. But this one is very tempting. Will Compare it with X10 and ELSE before making the buying decision.

                Hope the BADA plateform is not too immature.

                  it looks just like a tocco ultra they need to stop making touch screen phones as samsung cannot keep up with the quality of the software to maintain quality of the phone

First of all, their phones have the worst designs ever! I mean, fashion emergency much! Their designs looks nasty as hell!! It's waaay fckd up and weight like crazy as hell!! Second, that HUGE "SAMSUNG" logo of theirs is really hell annoying and just really butt ugly!! Gross! Third, their UI is so cheap looking and has the corniest and childish look ever!! It's BORING they don't even have those flashy animations that looks sleek or whatever! BORING! I'm actually not surprised why their no samsung phones in the "most popular" section. I guess no one can stand that ugliness of their phones!

                          Wow! I feel sorry for you. You're probably one of those people who doesn't know what "fashion" and "style" is, huh?

                            C'mon Samsung give us this with Android and you would have a winner.
                            I'm a little gun shy after the Jet. Nice phone but miss the ability to download apps.

                              Nokia's and SE's are really boring. From the first entry level phone to high end phones UI and OS es are almost same(Except SE's WM). But Samsung really rocks. Many variety. And this time BADA. Hope BADA should be the cheapest smartphone touch platform for such type of users who frequently like to change their handsets and obviously moods.

                                    please Read, very imp- 1) for all those complaining about 5megapixels- please, please its not the MP count that matters for a good pic!! its also the sensor grade, lens and, very imp, imaging software- samsung excels in all of this, if u dont think so, go try the cams f innov8 n pixon12- they were the best for there times 2) the bada OS comes into a world full of powerful competitors and the top managmnt at samsung are no fools to release their own thing, if it wasnt atleast as good, in their eyes though... n oh, when symbian dcidd 2 go touch, everyone screamed that it wont have any apps to compare with winMo, same thing with the iphone Os, when android came, what an uproar about the no. of apps that symbian had!!!... When a good/famous OS is released naturally devs will go make apps for makin profits... and please, please take a note of the tie ups that bada has as far as apps development are concerned, do not comment without knowing them! 3) AMOLED display, n almost sure gues- it will have wvga resolution... i cant believe people are still complaining! :P 4) no xenon flash? small screen? pity,.. its just 10.9mm thick! n its not huge, either... what did u expect?? they packed in this much- now thats cool, im only hoping it comes with a reasonable sized battery 5) now heres what i feel you should be worrying about, wel, a bit atleast for now- availability of regular software updates, screen size( im trying to stretch the list), sturdiness of the phone (i told you!... gues aluminium n tempered glass will take care of that though), pricing (will make or destroy the phone!), 2gigs internal? (what are they thinking of?)... 6) Heres the good stuff- snappy processor (its ARM based and, hopefully, the hummingbird), should be BRILLIANT display, compact and beautiful form n blah, blah... ...,. i really liked this phone! but u already know that!!

                                        How long will Bada takes to have as many apps available as Symbian. Symbian may not be very polished but it sure has lots and lots of apps (free and err...cracked) to keep the user entertained.
