Samsung has a new smartphone out: it’s fast, it’s good looking, but most importantly, it sports an entirely new mobile OS developed by Samsung, called bada (yes, in lowercase).
The device itself, called Samsung Wave or S8500, is well equipped. Besides a 1GHz CPU, it has a 3.3 inch, 800×480 pixel AMOLED screen, a 5 megapixel camera, 2 or 8 GB of storage space (expandable via microSD memory cards), and aGPS. When it comes to connectivity, it supports WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0 and 3G. Finally, it’s great at chewing multimedia content, with support for MP3, WMV, DivX and XviD.
However, judging from first impressions, the OS itself (while sporting some important features such as multi-tasking and multi-touch) is still buggy and prone to crashes. The jury is still out for this one, hopefully Samsung will be able to iron out the bugs before the device hits the market.
