At least for their Russian market, I guess...]]>Apr 5th 2010 6:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/Apr 5th 2010 7:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/Apr 5th 2010 7:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/Well, better specs.....it has bigger screen and no camera flash, that´s all if you pick de 8Gb version.

Correct me if I´m wrong.

And I prefer the aluminium body of the wave (for me that´s a plus).]]>Apr 5th 2010 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/Apr 5th 2010 10:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/

Its got everything i need, good camera, HD video recording. Slim with super amoled and anti smudge tech which is awesome.
100 apps to boot and hopefully a 1000 at the end of the year.

a very good price of 336 pounds for the 8gb version. ]]>Apr 5th 2010 7:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/
1) What Samsung would be like with their app approval process (I don't want another Apple situation)
2) What Samsung devices would ship within a reasonable period.

The answer to both of these questions made a very easy decision with going Android, which will obviously start with more apps and freedom than Bada. I think more app development is also probable, though since Samsung is targeting 10M international sales of the Wave (seems like a stretch, but hey) actually Bada and the Wave might be able to compete in apps. ]]>Apr 5th 2010 8:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/
I'll just keep an eye on the Galaxy S (Pro) even though I wish they added HDMI out and a flash for the camera at the last minute. Oh...and that they release it to all European countries in a timely fashion. The first Galaxy took ages to hit some markets (eg. Sweden & Switzerland). The HTC Evo has a lot of (justified) hype as Sprint has Wimax in the US but most countries will got the LTE route so it's irrelevant there.]]>Apr 5th 2010 7:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/
android is free? lol..

they are investigating for the long-term profits tho i dont know if they are doing it right with bada..]]>Apr 5th 2010 7:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/Apr 5th 2010 7:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/maybe because some people don't want a phone with spydroid on it?
just guessing...]]>Apr 5th 2010 7:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/
1.) You build more brand-loyalty if you can get consumers into your ecosystem (ala-Apple).
2.) You can differentiate your product more than you can within Android. Yes, Android allows skinning, but people are still buying into Android OS and their apps. Plus, skinning puts you behind Android's software development cycle, you have to react and then fine tune you're product to meet their OS. With having the underlying OS controlled by you, you face a much smaller issue here.
3.) You get more revenue by having your own app store.
4.) You have control your destiny. Who knows what Google might do in the future with Android? Perhaps mandated hardware specs to prevent segregation? Think of the worst case scenario for Samsung...

I think their strategy relies on many things and it will be a difficult road for them. However, if they can pull it off, they stand to have a more solid footing in the industry over the next 3-5 years. So, while their is a free OS out there, this one, if done right will stand to pay for itself many times over.]]>Apr 5th 2010 8:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/
I see it as 2 main reasons.

1.) You build more brand-loyalty if you can get consumers into your ecosystem (ala-Apple).
2.) You can differentiate your product more than you can within Android. Yes, Android allows skinning, but people are still buying into Android OS and their apps.

Brand-loyalty doesn't require a whole new OS. That's why the Android skin will look like Bada and if they wanted it on more products, eg. on TVs, they won't put Bada but something more lightweight that will a similar look.

I just think it would have better to write their own excellent proprietary modules/apps on Android than to start from scratch and do everything all mediocre from A to Z. Now they have to keep up-to-date their Android devices and ALL of the Bada code. I hope it works out for them.]]>Apr 5th 2010 9:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/
Well, I think they have realized that money is not in the hw but in the sw (look at apple...and nokia, they are perfect examples of one and the other).

That´s why they are trying to make their own app market and OS, if it works the´ll make more money from there than from the phones sales.]]>Apr 5th 2010 9:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/The 800x480 on the Omnia 2 coupled with a built-in divx player is just great!
Sammy has been making some great phones lately.

Hopefully they'll keep that magic going. :)]]>Apr 5th 2010 7:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/Apr 5th 2010 7:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/
Sucks to be you, foolish consumer.
Do a little research on the things you buy before you blame the manufacturer for your mistakes.

No company makes 100% good stuff, duh.]]>Apr 5th 2010 7:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/Samsung hung their customers out to dry on this POS. Terrific hardware, NO SUPPORT, no updates, and no apps like they promised. Then they release Bada, and while the Jet has more than enough power to run it, "Sorry, you'll need to drop another $550 on another handset"
The sickening part is this phone isn't even a year old yet.]]>Apr 5th 2010 7:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/Apr 5th 2010 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/Apr 5th 2010 8:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/Apr 5th 2010 8:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/
The current samsung's Os were based on symbian. Have you seen how smooth their own bada os is running? Runs as smooth as the iphone OS.

The time Omnia 2 was released it was one of the best phones (definitely not now thanks to HTC HD2).
I guess they concentrate too much on korean market and fail to get the vibe on other markets.]]>Apr 5th 2010 12:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/Apr 5th 2010 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/Apr 5th 2010 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/05/samsung-bada-handsets-of-the-future-revealed-in-presentation-sli/Android is Stupid.

The Bada Plattform is an extension to an OS, like Touch-Wiz, so we're gonna see bada apps on Samsung's Android Devices too, not only on their proprietary OS Phones...
Something like AIR but only for Samsung Phones...]]>Apr 6th 2010 6:21AM
