Good morning there.
See you've been wainting for med ; )
It seems the meaning of this is pretty straight forward...
Next, Samsung likely will be ditching Android

They could really develop bada if they do. With there hardware it could be really good.

42. PeterIfromsweden posted on 12 Sep 2011, 03:11 1 1

If i'm not misstaken bada is already based on linux.

54. remixfa posted on 12 Sep 2011, 06:52 2 2

nope it isnt... which is why the article specifically states that an american version of Bada based on linux is a rumor, and it will be seperate from the EU version of Bada.

Sounds like sammy is trying to make a real android competitor, not a feature phone OS.. lol :)

55. PeterIfromsweden posted on 12 Sep 2011, 07:32 2 1

for the 100th time, bada is not a feature phone OS, and you know that !!!

And bada is in fact based on linux, PA doesn't know And i'm 99.9 % sure that bada is based on linux, go check on wikipedia.

Peter you won me over, I thought it was a feature phone OS but I looked into it as you told me to do & it is a smartphone OS. Also this is just a rumor, until Samsung says no more WP7 then I will still believe Samsung will make WP7 handsets. & another thing, Samsung will never ditch Android. The best phone in the world right now is the Samsung Galaxy S II & the phone that will dethrone it will be the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Samsung is on top right now, they CLEARLY make the best phones in the world, & those phones are Android phones!

Thanks for checking it up : )
When it comes to android, i don't think Samsung will ditch it right away. I believe that Sasmung will gradually increase the amount of bada phones, and slowly decrease the amount of Android phones, so that in maybe 2 years, Samsung will only be selling bada phones (and maybe a few android phones on the side).

Straight from Wiki: "Bada, as Samsung defines it, is not an operating system itself, but a platform with a kernel configurable architecture, which allows using either a proprietary real-time operating system (RTOS) kernel, or the Linux kernel."

So, no, it's not based on Linux, but it can use a Linux kernel, which is what Samsung is rumored to be planning for a bigger US push.

They have the best hardware spec wise just terrible software.

10. MrSix (unregistered) posted on 11 Sep 2011, 21:39 2 0

Actually the Omnia 7 is built like a tank, shame we never got it in the US, I'd pay a little more for one over a Focus.

35. PeterIfromsweden posted on 12 Sep 2011, 02:09 1 4

The omnia 7 had a very good build quality (the build quality reminded me very much of the wave phones. Both made of metal and glass).
In fact, since i was so unhappy with my Omnia ( not with the hardware, only the software, WP7) i did some durability tests before i threw it in the garbage bin.

And believe me it was durable !

I could wash it under running tap water, i could hammer it with a knife without it breaking. Only after i smashed the phone in the floor, and gave it a very powerfull hit with the sharpest point of the knife did the screen break. But the phone still worked : )

So i dunked it in water for 10 seconds, then the Omnia 7 went dead, and straight in the garbage bin.

62. PeterIfromsweden posted on 12 Sep 2011, 08:14 0 2

So, why does a durable omnia 7 deserve thumbs down ? : P

The best thing about Samsung phones are the screens. they got some of the most clearest screens ever but outside of that they phones feel cheap in the hand

how is the sgs2 behind the curve? what the am i missing something

20. fancy (unregistered) posted on 11 Sep 2011, 22:36 1 1

i agree that SGS II is just another high end device and no longer THE high end device. i don't expect it to has as big an impact/market share as the original Galaxy.

28. AKm007 posted on 12 Sep 2011, 00:07 1 2

Dude! What phone can beat the galaxy S2 right now? Even the prime is not expected to be able to. Motorola's droid bionic came with such hype and is still not comparable to it. I guess you don't know s**t about smartphones eh? And the SGS2 is their flagship. Even the SGS got all the major updates. I doubt this one will be left in the dust.

HTC has a phone (Vigor) coming out next month with Dual Core 1.5gHz (which is the new standard if you didn't know and it sounds like you don't) processors along with all the high end bells and whistles and we all know the iPhone 5 will be lights out for SGII! When Sprint gets the iPhone 5 that's where a good chunk of samsung business is headed, I know I am. Sorry sammy, your sh*t! Samsung will be selling you the idea of the new monster SGIII!. Sounds like sammy has developed it's on sheep and your one! sSheep is the new iSheep! Loser
