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!

Bada 1.2 update will not be applied to WQVGA devices – Most bada devices left out?

| June 8, 2011 08:06 UTC | 0 comments | source

Many Samsung bada fans are in for a disappointment now. Samsung just used their @samsungbada twitter account to confirm that bada 1.2 will not be coming to devices with a WQVGA screen. Currently nearly every bada device out there are running this screen resolution, including the Wave 525, 533, 575, 578 and 723. What does that leave left? Only the Wave and Wave II will receive bada 1.2? Does this mean that these devices will not be updated to bada 2.0 either? Bada 2.0 is expected to be released in September.

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!

Two Samsung bada OS 2.0 devices coming later this year

| April 11, 2011 14:44 UTC | 0 comments | source

Samsung bada 2.0 roadmap

Samsung France held a press conference late last week where they announced that the first Samsung device running bada 2.0 will be released sometime in September. The bada OS 2.0 will be released in July, so existing Wave devices could see the update hit their phones after this.

They didn’t have a name for this new device yet, but they shed some light on what specs the device will have.

Specs for the still unnamed Samsung bada 2.0 device:

  • 3.65-inch touch-sensitive display
  • 7.2 Mbps HSDPA radio
  • 5-megapixel rear-facing camera with a VGA front-facing one
  • Support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0 and NFC

    • A second bada 2.0 device will follow sometime in November. Specs for the second device:

    A second bada 2.0 smartphone is expected to follow in November, but it will be more of a mid-end device with a relatively modest 3.14-inch QVGA display and a 3-megapixel camera

    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.

    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.

    Samsung Wave II S8530

    Samsung today announced the successor to the original Wave, the Wave II (S8530). They previously announced the Wave 2, but the Wave II is the real successor of the Wave.

    The bada OS has also gotten a few new features, like for instance T9 input method Trace. This is much like a bada version of Swype.

    The Wave II should be available in November for a price of 429 €.

    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.
