Bada 2.0 update seeding to the Samsung S8500 Wave

By GSMArena, published 27-01-2012

The Bada 2.0 update certainly took its time to arrive, but it's finally seeding to S8500 Wave smartphones. So if you have resisted the temptation to flash it by yourselves from one of the leaked ROMs, you time has come. The release isn't officially announced by Samsung just yet and there is no information about its rollout schedule, but we suspect it will go global quite quickly. Bada is not...

IFA 2011: Hands on: Samsung Wave 3 review

By TechRadar, published 09-02-2011

Ever since the first Wave handset debuted at Mobile World Congress in 2010 with Samsung's own Bada OS, it's been somewhat of a muted alternative to Samsung's never ending army of Android phones. And at IFA 2011, Samsung has launched the Wave 3 – a new spin on the metallically cased Wave line that features the latest 2.0 version of the Bada operating system alongside a 4-inch Super AMOLED display. Before you scoff, it must be said that Bada is a fine mobile operating system. We've used it on and off since launch. It's quite Android-like in operation but its weakness is the app ecosystem that sets Android and iOS apart from the rest. While there are plenty of Bada apps available, many of them are totally rubbish. Yep, we guess you could say the same about the Android Market, but it is a lo...

Samsung Wave 525 ? entry level smartphone [review + video]

By Thinkdigit, published 16-02-2011

Samsung impressed everyone with the kind of hardware they packed into the original Wave (GT S8500) at an affordable price point. The curious were tempted enough to go for the phone even with at the risk of braving a brand new (and yet unproven) operating system called bada. The Wave 525 continues the same 'Wave' line of phones and is positioned as the most entry level offering in that line. Without going into the semantics too much, I would definitely place this phone beyond a feature phone and [...] Read the entire article

Review: Samsung Wave II GT-S8530

By TechRadar, published 02-10-2011

The Samsung Wave II follows up an earlier device of the same name, the original Samsung Wave. The first Wave launched a new operating system on the world, Bada, and we saw it again in the Wave 723.Sitting underneath a familiar TouchWiz user interface, Bada gives Samsung the opportunity to have its own app store. Samsung is clearly hedging its bets, because it's also very friendly with Android as we've seen in handsets like the Galaxy S and the Google-branded Nexus S, and with Windows Phone 7 as we've seen in the Omnia 7. There's plenty going on in terms of specifications in the Wave II. Headlining things along with a very slightly revised version of Bada is the Super Clear LCD 3.7-inch screen. These aside we've got a 1GHz processor, Wi-Fi, HSDPA, GPS and five-megapixel camera with 720p vid...
