Samsung bada OS Review

bada rockzz im really impressed

Great review.please review samsung wave.pleaseeeee

i think u need a physiatrist

I have samsung WaveI 8500 BADA OS hang frequently whenever asking to servicing its a very poor network when you locate the service center they always asked please leave your phone and come after two three days even its need only formatting And never take AMC pack sold by the dealer they charge more than 1000 rupees and take the all risk cover and assure to give standby phone as yours but refused on the time of service please note do not take this type of coverage

what should i buy wave II or galaxy ace ???

how is wave 533 overall sir ,on scale of 10 how much would u rate it, since i m considering to buy one...plz lemme know

Well..I've bought the new Samsung wave 2 (s8530) after a lot of googling..n i should tell u that i was really impressed when i took it out of the box..it looked rock-solid with a big solid stylish build and a neat metal body...I've been using it for a week no n I'm yet to a face a tiny problem with it..it works like a dream..really impressed with its overall performance..gr8 work Samsung..' Bada ' is here to stay n knock others out-cold.

wave does have google maps under widgets even my wave 533 has it

bada os has no future.... it is as clear as a daylight.... samsung starrted rolling out android handset like galaxy3.... they wasted their money and resources on this crap...its either andriod or windows mobile7 the winner.....do u ever think htc motorola or nokia or any other smart phone makers will install bada os in their sets.....

Nice review - thanks. Is it possible on this or an Android to have customizable 'profiles', like Nokia phones have? So that say in a meeting, only certain numbers would ring and messages could be on silent etc?

I recently purchased Wave mobile phone. In contacts only names are displayed. How to get the display of both name and number. Due to lack of this provision, during a call if you want to get details of a particular contact and you go to that name thro contacts and tap, then immediately it goes dailing that contact. It is becoming difficult to give the number of a particular contact to the caller during the call. Is there any solution or the software of Wave is just this. If that is so then it is a very big inconvenience and how to go about it. Regards, Babu

disappointed with Samsung Wave. Battery Life, Phone reboot (abrupt), Guyz don't buy this phone!

'bada' Reboot! 'bada' isn't stable. I was listening to Music on Wave and launched browser within few seconds phone rebooted. For no apparent reason. Indicating 'bada' isn't ready (yet)

Samsung Wave has iPhone 4 like issue. Signal attenuation and even total loss (sometime, someplace) when you grip the antenna portion. I am using Samsung Wave for a week and half now. Be careful what you choose!

Just 12 hours of battery life that too from full charge to 0! with 'normal' use Ex. 1 hour music, 10-15 minute of browsing, couple of tweets last but not least no phone calls! This 'performance' from 1500 mAh Li-ion battery unexpected (in fact shocking). My Motorola Rokr E6 1000 mAh Li-ion battery use to last 1.5 days after really heavy use Music, browsing couple of short calls.

Y'day, I bought Samsung Wave S8500 (an impulsive purchase I must say cause My Motorola Rokr E6 is still rocking as ever ok Rokr E6 is not 3G 3MP camera, 2GB Card no spec phone as compared to S8500 but it Rocks!). Coming back to down sides of Samsung Wave S8500 first of all its damn tough to make touch screens usably intuitive (getting to options, menus in 3 or less than 3 steps that navigation guyz) I would rate S8500 2 out of 5! I am yet to see GPS, A-GPS working little disappointed with that. Browser is not good for non mobile websites (this I have seen with HTC Legend as well, But of course Motorola Milestone score in this) I am a heavy Internet user browsing, Social networking etc. so this was big let down for me! Worst Twitter client that is bundled with S8500 don't allow me to log-in not sure why But I installed Snaptu and uTweetMe which works fine but Samsung phone have these 8 button (for navigation within app) menu seating (bottom side of screen) always on 3rd party apps its ok but those button's needn't be these big! Voice Now the Up side. Music I love the equalizers in S9500, & that SRS 5.1 stuff is a pure gimmick doesn't have any effect Cool thing about music player is when I copy the Music to Memory card it automatically recognize the Albums and Tracks and list it no Syncing/Refreshing needed! On my Rockr I have to refresh the Real player to Index the Music!. Video playback is good in landscape mode. Another aspect which I want to touch upon is "pause" feature in "Voice Recording" allows you to pause the recoding it is very useful feature which I didn't find in any other phone which I came across so far. Stop that spam! Now-a-days is spam SMS, calls is big issue S8500 address this by including functionality to block SMS and calls from specified/blacklisted numbers (yet to test this feature completely) but its cool. I use "Mcleaner" a 3rd party free app on my Motorola Rokr E6 which is feature rich. All in all its a good phone to have. Now waiting for more Apps to come, I am also planning to get my hands "dirty" in Apps development for Bada!

i bought wave just a week back....and its a beauty. love it so much. as for the article...got some good tips here which even i was not aware of (ok...i too have not read the manual completely) 1 thing abt this article...it says wave does not have google maps..but i found it in under widgets>>google (maps and gmail).

Very well reviewed Mr Naik. very informative. please continue with such reviews.

very nicely done prasad. you are good and u wrote unbiased..rohan is not good at writing on such subjects..

Very well done review, would like to have this same standard in all your articles. There are so many spelling mistakes though. I suggest you to put at least one or more screenshots for every feature you mention. About bada, if v1.0 is this then i guess the future versions will kill all other OS, Samsung has that potential. Its my personal opinion though.

I don't know too much about Bada, but I absolutely love the Wave. I'm seriously contemplating on replacing my aging Nokia 5320 with this beaut. The device per se has absolutely no drawbacks IMO- I see the nascent stage of the OS as the only limiter. PS- The bundled games look gr8!

Android can also be used as smartphone for masses.. there is no real reason why companies should launch their own OS again and again...Already Blackberry and Palm OS sound meaningless.God help them with app.support.

played wid wave for 2 days super fone thoroghly enjoyed i have small hands so texting was never an issue its one heck of a device and at 18k it kills seriously superb work sammy
