Public Bada SDK for common developers isn't available yet... Since January programmer's are waiting for the public version of SDK... So I think Samsung isn't betting in all developing community. There is a contest for developers but apparently only the Samsung partners had access to de first versions of SDK, so the damn contest will be fair and square? Expansys.com is announcing the phone for 30 of April.

            This device hardware says okay but, it's like "fish in seen" no extra software for it, or waiting months and searching any moment on internet for any news for software for it..., i made grayed out withing a month for sure, i made forget for my girlfriend i em having, instead all the love i will expose to and about this device, and that would be to dangerous for me, it will destroy my way of life for sure..., i will not bay it even for 10€ as it is... no thanks, i would rather keep my n5800xm, and wait for next better release, because there is a lot of software already on internet and ovi to choose.
            I guess he guys who is talking wild about device like this are most MHz-mania and jealousies of their ovn friend trying to reach maximum in MHz, MP's or other new hardware to get advantage on friends, but that is never solution..., but it maters on good software and good companion you are associated to...
            I would rather fall in love with girl than a fish-phone...!

              Samsung with new os? NO THANKS!!!!! Their support is CRAP. I will NEVER buy a Samsung again after my last phone. It's pointless having a high spec phone if the software is slow and full of bugs and glitches, such a waste of great hardware.

                            People actually buy samsung phones?! Seriously? But their designs are hideous and ugly. I never get why people would even buy one.

                                      Even If this thing is more powerful than some gamegear out there. Still, nothing beats stand-alone handheld gaming device.

                                      Your first concern will be the batterylife that would be suck.

                                        it more likely to be 3 times more powerful than 3%.. its 33M poligons vs 89m poligons..
