The specs of this phone is surely awesome! But i guess wave II's design is much better than this, 1.wave 3 lacks a shutter key
2.wave 3's speaker is located at the back which will surely be block when the phone is in down position while listening to music.
3.the unique diamond shape of the camera and LED flash is gone.
4.a capacitive button is a NO NO for me.
5.samsung did not manage to make the phone smaller than wave II regardless of the .3 inch difference in screen size.
i'm glad i'm a wave 2 user and will get bada 2.0 soon! Cheers! :)

used the wave2... was gladly impressed with the baby but this upgrade isnt very pleasing, no major upgrade but i expect that it may come in the mid level segment (around 350$), if the price is nice... guess it should b a good seller....

people forget that when a company launches a smartphone... it has to cover many grounds of pricing and also not to diminish other products of the catalouge as well....wave 3 is very cleverly disguised phone which should not hinder the sales of galaxy SII...by giving similar hardware with lower price tag... hence no dual core but 1.4ghz vs 1.2, 4" Led screen etc etc..... good strategy to keep the price low and still attract customers who could not afford the galaxy SII.

no amount of ram stated, what is final is that it uses snapdragon. 1.4ghz processor, 768mb ram, full flash support in the browser will be good enough to beat other mid-range android phones. dual-core fanboys better keep their mouths shut for now

got a Wave 1 and itz good but will move on to Galaxy sII lte cause of the availability of apps. BADA is nice but lack of updates and apps is really shitty. plus no skype not acceptable so this phone looks good on paper but the reality is that u will still be lacking apps and updates in the future

not satisfied with the performance that GSMArena has givn in its preview... it looks kindda slow when starting an application! plus Samsung is only making gr8 hardware for Bada with no significant increase in apps, wave series makes me feel like linux on pc, very less FPS type games to exploit awesome hardware :(

Wave series definitely offer good things at fairer price. And their flagship devices are real eye-candy. But limited app in its store, leaves u with a poor taste. I own wave ii, m blown over by its aesthetic beauty, video playback capabilities, but thats it, full stop. Go to samsung app, n 9 out of 10 visits, u wud regret wondering whether u shud have opted for sum other OS.

How about free gps navigation, office document editor, email attachment unzip and text to voice features in Wave 3? Bare micro usb port, missing cam key and backside placed loudspeaker makes us sad! But overall nice UI of Bada 2 really eyecatching. Welcome Bada 2.
