The Wave (also known as the Wave S8500) will be one of the first handsets shipped with Bluetooth 3.0.

It should be noted that Bada is not a smartphone operating system according to Samsung representatives at MWC, as the manufacturer is treating Bada as an evolution of its own internal embedded operating system with modern features.

Samsung Plans to Sell 10 Million Units?!

With a lot of expectations already in line for their prized handset, Samsung is setting the bar really high and giving off that optimistic feel in achieving sales of approximately 10 million units for the Samsung Wave. Official pricing has not been announced but it’s rumored to be somewhere around $610. Supplementing the expected worldwide sales, Samsung is targeting roughly around 1,000 Bada apps that should be available by the end of the year. With a goal on 10 million units, that’s a pretty high expectation being given to this handset already – but it’s not to say that it’s impossible. If Samsung can muster enough demand for the Samsung Wave, its target goal may not be too far fetched considering that it’ll be available in over 50 countries by May.
