Samsung Announces 3 NEW Wave Smartphones!

Samsung has announced 3 new bada smartphones all running bada 2.0 ahead of the IFA show this week. First is the Samsung Wave 3 which is a very nicely spec’d phone with a 1.4 GHz processor and a SAMOLED display!! The Samsung M and Y Wave phones come in as mid-range and low-end devices but still have decent specs.

All three devices are going to be on display at IFA this week.

  • 4-inch Super AMOLED display
  • 1.4GHz processor
  • 5-megapixel rear-facing camera with LED flash
  • Front-facing VGA camera

  • HSDPA at 14.4Mbps
  • HSUPA at 5.76Mbps
  • 1,500 mAh battery

  • Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n

Samsung Wave M Specs

App of the Week is back! Taking Requests Now!

It has been awhile since I wrote an App of the Week article and to be honest, I felt like the feature was getting stale and needed some rethinking on my part. Since it is one of the most popular features here at badaforums, I thought it would be nice to re-start the feature and kind of give it a streamlined look and to have it be based off of user requests.

From now on, the App of the Week feature will post on Mondays and will stay up till the following Sunday. Also, the App of the Week will not only be limited to reviews but also previews of new apps coming up for bada.

The articles will be broken down into four sections: developer or company information, design, user experience (or features if it is a preview of an app), and final impressions. Each article will have screenshots, app information, and a link to download it and find out additional information.

The next cool thing I will be doing with “App of the Week” is that it will be based off of user requests. What app would you like to see reviewed? Are you a developer who wants to gain some exposure for your app? Or have you heard of a really cool app that is being developed and want someone to preview it? Send us a request for app of the week and we might pick it!

All you have to do is send a request via the contact page OR reply to the thread in the forums. The only information we require is you give us the name of the app and a link to the download page. We will do the rest! Thanks so much and we look forward to seeing your requests!

Introducing the Samsung Wave Ringtone Section

Who likes ringtones? We here at badaforums love ringtones (well except for this horrible excuse for a ringtone) and a few days ago, we launched the Samsung Wave ringtone section in our forums. This is a great place for anyone with a Wave (or any phone even) to upload and download different ringtones! Users can get creative and make some cool beats and are welcome to share them. Users can also upload songs and other cool ringtones that they have to share with everyone else however, we ask you to keep tones to a 60 second minimum and to read the rules before uploading. All files must be mp3 as well. We hope you enjoy the new section and I cant wait to hear some of the cool tones you all have!
