The upcoming Bada 2.0 flagship Samsung Wave 3

According to Samsung Hub, at the Bada Developer Day event held in India, Samsung said that its next Bada flavored flagship model, the Samsung Wave 3, will launch next month. At the event, the South Korean manufacturer did not say precisely which market would be the first to receive the device (most likely a European country), nor did it comment on pricing. The manufacturer did say that the Wave 3 (model S8600) would launch in India in November.

As we reported, the specs on the Bada 2.0 powered Samsung Wave 3 are top-notch for the most part. The event in India didn't really add anything new to the specs list except to let us know that Samsung won't be monkeying around with the screen on this device; the 4 inch display will be made of Gorilla Glass.

At the same time, Samsung executive Dipesh Shah put the kibosh on those hoping for a Bada powered tablet. The Shah of Samsung said that the OS was designed for affordable smartphones, not for tablets.

Looks like a nice phone, but i can't help but look at it like its trying to be like android. Don't shoot me for this, just making a speculation. I'm sure its great.

It's basically like eclair with touchwiz. No lte no dual cores but neither does wp7 or blackberry. The only other OS is ios because iPhone got dual cores but still no lte

It does looks similar to Samsungs Android phones, since they both use touchwiz (i think). But bada doesn't look anything like stock Android.

Bada is a cheap Android. No offense peter. Just accept it. They would probably sell it to south korea government for their own OS.

in Sweden.

Well Mr. Peter if you are really from Sweden buy only Nokia Phones to avoid European recession.

What??? Something about Wave and Bada...and no peter??

5. toaster posted on 18 Sep 2011, 20:55 8

Cmon, it's 3-4 am where Peter is :P
Also, looks like TW4, but I guess that can be expected.

I don't see a difference between this bada and android.

8. HTCiscool posted on 18 Sep 2011, 21:35 2

I would have actually considered buying this if it weren't for Bada. The hardwear is excellent. it has a 4-inch bloody Amoled screen. All the other android manufacturers are too cheap to put Amoled screens into their products. Call me insane, but the best display I've ever seen on a smartphone (not counting sharpness) would have to be the Amoled Clearblack on the Nokia E7. (YES I have seen the Galaxy Sll screen.) If nothing else at least Nokia can produce good hardwear and good screens. But back to the topic, where is Peter?

Why does bada make you not buy this phone ?
bada has more functions than even IOS and WP7 has so i don't see your point.

you realize this is a rebranded and slightly over clocked GalaxyS-1 right? lol you can find them anywhere for cheap, and bada free.

64. Joshing4fun posted on 19 Sep 2011, 13:39

Agreed. But the hardware is prettier!

Looks like Peter is disappointed that Nada I mean Bada is not the greatest thing since sliced bread and his beloved OS doesn't support tablets, Bada is not that advanced after all

28. PeterIfromsweden posted on 19 Sep 2011, 05:05 1

bada is advanced. the reason they said it was not coming on tablets is either:
1. they know that Windows 8 will dominate the tablet market, therefore they see no reason with coming with a bada tablet.
2. they are working on a bada tablet, but only the top management knows about this.

1... hahaha, although possible, it is not likely
2... how in the world would you know anything about that?
