Samsung Wave 578 ready for release in India

Remember the announcement of the Samsung Wave 578 a few months back at MWC? Well today, It seems that Samsung is ready to release it in India complete with NFC, rapid connectivity, smarter functionality, and priced to competitive. The screen on the Wave 578 is set at 3.2 inches and is a TFT display. This is decent for a low to mid range device. On top of that, you also get a 3.2 megapixel camera and front looking at VGA camera, bluetooth 3.0, quick type keyboard , 100MB of internal storage with support for up to 16GB memory with MicroSD card, and it is running on bada 1.1 (which is a little disappointing).

Aside from the launch in India, the Samsung Wave 578 is due to launch on Orange, or France Telecom, in France sometime this month. Still no word yet on pricing.

Samsung Wave 725 specs leak out, bada 2.0 running!

Its been awhile since Samsung has said anything about bada but if you remember, back in April, 3 bada powered devices leaked out onto the internet and one of them did not have a name. Well thanks to the bada 2.0 SDK by bada world, the name of said device is the Samsung Wave 725 and the specs are pretty nice indeed!

Some of the major specs include a 3.65″ HVGA screen (320×480 pixels), 5-mp shooter, VGA front facing camera for video calling, NFC, WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0 and….wait for it….bada 2.0 installed! With 2.0 being installed on the device, it will bring much needed features like multitasking, a better UI, smoother interface, better security, and so much more!

There is also a lot of talk about the Samsung Wave 725 being the first bada-powered device to be released in the United States as well as overseas. According to Samung, bada has been doing very well overseas so hopefully America will embrace it.

Samsung plans to release this phone to the world in December.. September of this year (2011).

Images of bada 2.0.1 leaked!

It seems like the first images of what appears to be bada 2.0.1 are making the rounds on the internet. We cannot promise these images are 100% accurate…whatever it is seems to be running on a Wave II S8530! If this indeed is bada 2.0, I like what I see…the interface seems cleaner, more customizable, and more like a fresh start for the OS!
