                              I would choose Samsung Wave over HTC Desire, because Samsung has a good and long experience in making phones, just like Nokia, but Nokia makes bad phones because of Symbian OS.

                                I found the bada app store on bada website,for now it has 55 apps and all of them are free. There are some really good apps,including a game called Modern Combat: Sandstorm made by Gameloft featuring HD graphics. It looks really nice! Here's the link if anyone wants to check out those apps: http://www.samsungapps.com/topApps/topAppsGate.as

                                  the review at GSMarea not even clarifying if this phone has document reader/editor? also not showing in initial introduction the main Advantages/disadvantages. Does this phone also lack of Graphic Equilizers like Andriod OS?
