can anyone confirm if what this guy said is true

"things to know about Bada OS Samsung Bada only allows one
3rd party (not built-in) program
to run at the time, does not allow
customization of launcher, input
methods, and does not have
copy/paste"

    For this phone PC Studio is changed with Samsung "Kies" software . Let's hope it will be better than the crappy PC Studio.

      Downloaded the video sample from the review: 17 Mb for only 9 seconds of video. That is about 2 Mb per second meaning a classic 4 Gb memory card will takes only 1/2 hour of video.

        Jaco, 06 Apr 2010http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobi... moreThat wasn't the tech65 video the other poster was talking about. Plus, those articles just state they plan to have 1000 apps by the end of the year... of course its completely obvious there will be apps after its launch. I'm looking for where it says there will be 100 applications AT LAUNCH DATE.

            Seems great with big size battery and hd video. But no dedicated speaker (so low louspeaker ?) and the great uncertainty about bada applications. Don't understand the need for another OS, Android seems getting better and better. Wait and see, but anything is better than Symbian anyway

              I mean the video did talk about applications at the end (about SDK and the profits/credit) but they never said anything about how many applications will be available when this launches

                cooza, 04 Apr 2010i saw a you-tube video that said the at launch the bada os ... moreWhere in the video did it say the Bada webstore will have 100 apps at its launch? I watched all 3 parts of that video by tech65 and he never said anything about applications that you mention. :(

                Does anyone have an updated release date on this phone? Is it still early May? Wonderful phone with a very fair price!

                      here in spain this phone is exactly the same price as the vivaz.429 euros sim free.i dont think the vivaz stands a chance against the wave.

                        DNSe (Digital Natural Sound Engine) - it has good audio quality, i have samsung s5230 with DNSe its sounds good. I think that in wave will be much better.

                          GeeZ! I am going to buy this phone. The price is going to be cheap. I think Samsung is selling cheap due to their new os bada, to let people try and like it.

                          Um...nothing can beat its specs at the moment in that price range. Hopefully, not like a loser Omnia.

                          Hope it has Stereo speakers. Anyway, I gonna use headphones for musics.

                          Web browsing experience should be at least similar/better to iPhone, otherwise, what a pity!

                          Wow.. it has a big battery too. It should last a while. Not like a crappy iPhone.

                          iPhone has been the best so far for me except, poor battery life, dial pad doesn't recognize any contacts, no templates texts, no video call camera... oh... I can't list them all....many many...

                          But it's fast, sexy (not really, he he), web browser is the best, solid, best screen yet ( well, let's see Wave beats it), and it's for user=id10t, like me. :D

                          OMG..! I don't know when Apple stop milking cash from it's Customers!
