    Samsung has already launch a fantastic phone with Bada and we have seen other 4 phones cheaper than Wave with Bada too. And it's the No1 year for Bada OS! What Nokia made for Maemo in Maemo's No1 year? Only 1 device! The N900! And basically N900 isn't even a true phone. Tooooooooo heavy and fat. And now, in 2010, the No1 year of Meego Nokia hasn't yet launched any phone with this OS! So, I think that Samsung count its new OS much more than Nokia does with its own new OS... :)
    Also, HTC in No1 year of its new Brew system, made only one phone too.
    Finally, if Samsung launch at least one more Bada phone, after the Wave, Bada will become the best-supported new OS out there! :)

      Spyroscesarsc, 08 Jun 2010We can't compare X10 mini with i5500! X10 mini is a cheaper... moreAnd the samsung comes with Android 2.1. The xperia mini only has android 1.6 its not even certain the xperia will get froyo goodness I've been looking for a little phone like this to give android a try. the price is right and it seems this corby will be getting a couple of android upgrades witch is awesome that we agree on.

        I think this is the cheapest android phone....
        Will surely buy it once it comes out.
        Although eagerly waiting for i5800 and Wildfire to launch in India.....

                          For the price range it's in I have no major issues EXCEPT FOR; Why the flipping eff did they enlarge the d-pad that way AND wasted space in the process with the 2 huge DIAL and END keys? Can't those just be aligned into the usual droid keys?Samsung seriously need to learn industrial design from square 1.
