I forgot to add that yesterday, during our meeting with Globe and Samsung, I was also able to play with another handset which features the new Bada OS — the Samsung S8500 Wave.
Again, sorry for not being able to take photos but I wasn’t allowed to take one.
But let me share with you some of my thoughts after tinkering around with it.
- The phone is pretty solid and has a bit of heft due to that metal construction. It’s slim and sleek with a brushed-metal finish.
- This full touch screen phone has some pretty impressive specs like the Galaxy S — 1GHz, 3G/HSDPA, WiFi 802.11n, GPS, Bluetooth 3.0, FM radio, 2GB & 8GB internal plus 32GB via microSD, 5MP AF camera with 720p video recording.
- The Bada OS, Samsung open platform looks nice and reminds me of TouchWiz UI but a much more refined one (update: the UI is actually TouchWiz UI 3.0). The 5 panels resembles that of the Android UI and LG’s S-Class UI.
- The Samsung Wave will be released soon and will have a price in the range of Php20,000 and above.
Samsung reps told me their efforts in the high-end and smartphone line will be two-thirds more on Android and the rest with the Bada OS. You will see more of the Bada OS in mid to low-end handsets.
haha! my o2xdaII can play dvd files, as in the dvd (VOB) files. hows that? it is just 450mhz. why pdf? pocketpc has pocket office. buy windows mobile fones, smoother like the iphone, it is more PC on your pocket.
btw, i have a samsung smartphone.
I got my samsung wave s8500 for about 2-months now & ’till now there were no issues about it. It’s one hell of a smarphone. i’ve been a nokia user for the last 5 years & nothing comparable to this great smarphone. This is really amazing. i love this phone very much. try it, you’ll sure gonna love it as well. its highly recommended.
yes Bada of Samsung wave is new but its very user friendly. samsung aps is growing rapidly & ’till now everything is free.The OS is superfast, wifi is great, evrything is great actually. This phone will never let you down, its a mini computer in ur pocket. i already forgot my laptop from the time i got this phone, 2-months back.One thing you love about this phone which you cannot find in other smarphones even the iphone is its beatiful screen & not to mention its speed.This phone really rocks.try it.
i want this phone so badly ! =D i will ask my parents and then get my braces :D
Do you use a decent visitor statistics plugin? Maybe you can suggest a specific one? Thank you! :)
Does your site have a contact page? I’m having trouble locating it but, I’d like to shoot you an email. I’ve got some suggestions for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great site and I look forward to seeing it develop over time.
