woah... thats what u think bro! bada was not a flop! S8500 had the same specs as the Galaxy S but only half inch smaller screen! it had everything one can imagine! and even by today's standard, it had the best in-class specs and performance!
1 MILLION Wave units were sold within 4 weeks of its launch!

absolutely true!
Bada was awesome! the key to perfect hardware and software is when both components are made by a single party...in this case Sammy made the phone and the OS on it...it was pretty much flawless at its time when it was released.
There were no lags on it whatsoever...unlike Android at that time and man the first Wave was to me sweeter than the first Galaxy S. It had premium design, all metal chassis, Amoled screen and felt great to the touch

Had a Wave 2, bada phone, good hardware, claustrophobic os. It wasn't all that bad, unless you wanted apps. Basically, it was semi-dumb phone.

I doubt the Motorola X will do anything to Samsung's position, Motorola have downsized and exited a number of large markets, and simply dont have the production power to go up against S.Korea's darling, just cant happen.
What Samsung are doing is insuring their future in mobile, making sure that if one platform goes down they are already on a few others including their own, thats all.

theres sumthing abt this moto X which we shudnt put aside..
i dont like all moto android but this moto X is certainly coming with bigger things and the fact that it is partnered w/ google itself..
this myt be d track of 2013 moto X > s4/htc one/G2 > XZ
note3 will be d one who can make any unique flavor to android if ever.. (as note2 became the most unique android flavor for 2012, FOR ME)

Samsung should also promote Ubuntu. We need an alternative to Android. Not everyone looks at 7 billion apps before buying.

Somewhere in Sweden, a man named Peter is crying... He will miss you Bada. I won't.
