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...

        lennard, 13 Feb 2010Samsung is going down... They were slowing down this year..... morepoor camera!
        i am SE fan and i can tell you that when i saw innov8 and omnia hd pictures i said wow
        after SE SAMSUNG make the best multimedia phones for young people
        only thing that samsung should do now is upgrade their design
        and HTC make the best office phones not nokia
        nokia is for old people with horrible design
        even apple is far better than nokia

                You know, the phone actually sounds nice but the design is a small improvement of samsung. It still doesn't have that sleek and stylish look in it. It still looks like it's for old people trying to be cool. Plus that Bada OS user interface looks so budgetphone-ish to me. It's not flashy and doesn't have any modern sleek eye-candy in it that's really eye-catching. It's soo... samsung-ish. Me no likey!

                    Wow this phone is so cool. Great specs and great looks. I don't care whether the camera is worse than the SE Vivaz but this is definitely my next phone. I only hope bada os will have a greater range of applications than the current touchwiz ui.

                      Lavkesh Arora, 13 Feb 2010Samsung are good at only one thing and that is specificatio... moreI agree 100% that all Samsung software is not optimised, buggy, and slow. Considering most Samsung touchscreens have 600mhz-800mhz processors yet the software is still so bad is shocking!

                      Samsung say the new Bada is as 'open' as Android for developers and that it will be on most Samsung phones even the budget ones. If that's true then personally I welcome it as having the OS on most phones will attract developers. Most important:

                      1. Very Good UI, Kinetic Scrolling, Fast performance, and perhaps multi-touch.
                      2. Applications and Games for Bada from developers.
                      3. Good GPS software which doesn't cost £70 every year to subscribe! Take the good example Nokia are setting and now Garmin with their Android devices. =)

                          Samsung are good at only one thing and that is specifications. They haven't got a faintest idea as to how to make a good cellphone and the accompanying software. The software is poorly optimized so much so that even with all those specs its barely able to load a webpage!
                          The reliability isnt even close to Nokia. Kind of expected when you have a new phone coming out every 3 days!

                                  cute. although I doubt whether the "tempered glass " thing is true.. It's still gonna scratch like crazy probably. Although I hate that the phone isn't released at it was supposed to, a midrange/entry-level affordable smartphone.

                                        Wave looks nice, but I don't like the look of the Bada OS interface
