Perhaps the Galaxy S will have this in an update down the track...]]>Jul 2nd 2010 7:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/I do agree that we don't really need a new phone os but if they do it's got alot of competition with apple & android ]]>Jul 2nd 2010 7:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/
So are you saying that 90% of the world which uses Windows are all Fan Boys then?

iPhone changed the market space, Android is trying to take it back, everyone else is a follower or a failure. Bada has a great foundation, but it wont survive unless the developers follow, and there is no money in it so they wont, and i like run on sentences.]]>Jul 2nd 2010 8:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/
Why do you assume that you know what I am thinking? I did not claim to be a fan boy of any sort. Way to take my comment out of context! I have tried every type of phone there is, and have used every mobile OS there is. Did I pledge any allegiance to Apple or Google NO! They both make great products but no one here was speaking a bout them to begin with. Looks like the one here without brains here is you!]]>Jul 2nd 2010 8:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/Jul 2nd 2010 8:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/Jul 2nd 2010 8:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/Ha ha, how sweet would a phone be if it turned into a terminator!]]>Jul 2nd 2010 10:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/Canada you write something meaningful instead of this bullshit?]]>Jul 2nd 2010 11:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/Jul 3rd 2010 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/Please just die you idiot

Well, considering that it´s one month old and that the phone is being outsold here in Europe I think you´ll change your opinion sooner than later.

By the way it´s THE BEST multimedia phone out there, period. ;-)]]>Jul 3rd 2010 6:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/Jul 2nd 2010 7:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/Jul 2nd 2010 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/Either way, I wasn't impressed by it.

Also, I'm guessing their Galaxy S line-up skin is from Bada?]]>Jul 2nd 2010 8:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/Jul 2nd 2010 8:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/Of course, looks are nothing without brains.

That's what you think...

I believe differently. And more importantly its about WHAT SELLS. You android fanboys seem to not understand what SELLS phones. What people truly want.

And that is what will defeat you in the end]]>Jul 2nd 2010 9:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/Jul 2nd 2010 9:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/Yes, that is what I think. That's my opinion. Many other people have this opinion as well. Apparently your opinion is that you don't care how well it works so as long as it's glossy and shiny.

"And that is what will defeat you in the end" What? Now I need to be defeated? Hur! I couldn't care less about what sells. All I care about is that the phone I buy does what I want it to do, which my phone does perfectly well.

I don't need to toss around numbers and sale stats to make myself feel better about my purchase. The only people that should be doing that are those in charge of running the companies churning these out.

Keep lumping people into groups and calling them terrible names, BrookLynns"Finest," I'm sure you'll end up again with another banned account. ;)]]>Jul 2nd 2010 10:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/"I don't need to toss around numbers and sale stats to make myself feel better about my purchase"

Apple iOS is based on UNIX which Linux is also based on ---> which Bada is based on.

Its relatively easy for Linux developers to move over to the Bada platform.

What people dont realize is that Samsung is in the process of putting Bada into their millions of TVs, set top boxes and other home theater hardware applications. Think of the potential from a mobile developer point of view the new potential market this brings.

Bada is targeted for the feature phone user who wants a bit more versaility and power but not the price of a real full blown smartphone architectures like Android, iOS and others.

Remember, Samsung sold 220 million features phones/smartphone last year, it is the worlds #2 in cell phone sales. They have the network relationships (just look at how they will launch Galaxy S on ALL 4 major carriers in the US), marketing power ( biggest electronics company in the world), and the know-how ( their R&D department has over 10,000 engineers who have PhD's).

Also they practically make everything that goes into their devices, from the memory chips, display, core processors, the hard drives, motherboards and others.

If you look at their business history, any market that they decide to go in, within 2-3 years, they are at or near the top in market share.

So I would say dont underestimate Samsung when it comes to fulfilling their goals. They will get there no matter what.

Oh and Bada was in development for 6 years. ]]>Jul 3rd 2010 12:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/
So how would you compare Bada to MeeGo?]]>Jul 3rd 2010 1:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/They knew in 2004 that they would want a TS OS?
Anyway, for the rest of what you say I totally agree. I hated every Samsung phone I've tried so far but I've heard so much good about the Wave that I ordered one.]]>Jul 3rd 2010 2:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/Jul 3rd 2010 3:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/Jul 3rd 2010 3:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/skyhook-hones-in-on-another-partner-samsungs-wave-to-geo-locat/The software that's installed on it is okayish. As about apps I fear that the old style C++ with 2 phased constructors and without exception handling isn't going to attract a lot of developers.
