What IS new in Bada 2.0 ?

[Charmand G]

Hi, guys/girls!

Since I see a lot of complaints about Bada 2.0, I just wanna ask if there are any improvements from Bada 1.2?
Is there any differences, new options, new features?

This is regarding the official Bada 2.0. Please let me know if this kind of thread already exists.

I'm not considering the new appearance as an "improvement", because it's better to have more icons, but the overall quality of the icons is worse (unsophisticated, simpler, with less transitions).

The folder function is a true plus though. Browser is improved too. App availability is not strictly system related, it's just a decision, so it doesn't count really.

Some say the GPS performance is better. For me 1.2 was always perfect (lock in 4-30 secs), so dunno.

We'll see the true reactions when the newness/coolness factors wear out, so people can compare the two systems more objectively.

Appearance wise samsung has done a good job but its a copy of andorid and ios. But worst part, they have forgotten to cover the basics of phone software. The list is big but i will mention few.
Sound profile settings
Vcard as normal sms

right now its more of a theme phone instead of smart phone

right now it's more of an idiot phone instead of a smart phone or is just an phone with nice graphics and the BEST colour display! But as fas as i remember colour displays were in fashion 8 years ago... The fashion now is SMART PHONES and BADA phones are everything but smart!

LOL I guess Samsung's BADA development tm is focusing on adding sh***ty bugs instead of adding improvements and I must say they truly excel on that part. Kudos to them they really exceeded my expectation. After all this time waiting new Bada finally realesed with amazing crappy bugs and problems added!
