Samsung Wave - S8500

Samsung S8500 Wave

Samsung has began seeding bada 2.0 for owners of the original Samsung S8500 Wave. The update is now available in some parts of the world, and the rollout will continue in stages. This means that not everyone will receive the update today! The best thing you can do is to use Samsung Kies on your PC to see if the update is already available in your region. Enjoy!

Live Image Gallery: Samsung Wave vs Wave II

| April 18, 2011 06:50 UTC | 0 comments |

Samsung Wave vs Samsung Wave II

Ever wondered how the Samsung Wave II differs from the original Samsung Wave?

The most noticeable change is the screen. On the original Wave we have a 3.3-inch Super AMOLED screen, while the Wave II again comes with a bigger 3.7-inch Super Clear LCD screen. The newer Wave II has bada 1.2 pre-installed, while the older comes with bada 1.0 (bada 1.0.2). Other than that, I can’t really see a difference in them!

European Samsung Wave Devices Will Receive Bada 1.2 In Early 2011

| December 28, 2010 11:45 UTC | 0 comments |

Samsung Wave - S8500

Samsung posted two interesting tweets last week. They give us an idea on when to expect Bada 1.2 for European SIM-free Waves (S8500).

The first tweet looks this:

bada 1.2 Firmware update will be available early next year for European SIM free Wave first

And the second one:
Support for the rest of the world will follow during 1Q of 2011 with different update dates depending on the country and operator
So, Europe will first see the official bada 1.2 update on their Waves, and the rest of the world will follow sometime during 1Q2011.

Samsung Wave 723

Samsung is doing a pretty good promotion for new Wave buyers – they’re offering free games! The first Wave device (S8500) is unfortunately not supported. The offer includes the following Wave devices, Wave 525, 533, 575 and 723.

If you have one of the devices mentioned earlier, you’ll be able to obtain a free copy of the following software: FIFA 10, Tetris Refresh, Spore Creatures, Assassin’s Creed II, DioDict French/English dictionary and Princess Magic Therapy e-book and SSkin theme series.

Please act as soon as possible, because FIFA 10, Tetris Refresh and Spore Creatures will be offered to 250,000 quickest downloaders, and Assassin’s Creed for 300,000 first downloaders. The rest of the apps are available for a limited time, which means that we don’t know when it will end :)

Offer: Lifetime Navigation for Samsung Wave with Route 66

| July 31, 2010 15:30 UTC | 0 comments | source

Route 66 for WaveSamsung has a long relationship with Route 66, a navigation software used in some of their phones. Now you can get lifetime navigation for your Samsung Wave, or S8500, that runs on Samsung’s bada OS.

For 29.99€, you will get lifetime navigation in one country, for 39.99€ you’ll get Eastern or Western Europe, and for 49.99€ you’ll get lifetime navigation in Europe.

Of course this isn’t the same as what Nokia is currently offering with its FREE Lifetime maps for some Nokia phones, but it certainly is worth it if you use your phone as a navigator.

The offer is valid till the end of this year, and can be bought by following this link.

1 Million Samsung Waves Sold Worldwide

| July 13, 2010 08:14 UTC | 0 comments | source

Samsung Wave - S8500

The first phone to run Samsung’s own bada operating system, the Samsung Wave S8500, has globally sold 1 million units. Justin Hong, project lead and architect of bada, announced this on his twitter feed.

It took under one month for the Samsung Wave to achieve this, pretty impressive if you ask me. Didn’t expect the Wave to sell this good.

Check Justin Hong’s twitter post here (google translated version).
