Should you buy Wave or Wave 2 or Wave 2 pro? Still haven’t decided? Well, this post will explain Wave 2 and Wave 2 pro and their difference and help you choose your favorite.
              Wave 2,code name S5250, Wave 2 pro, code name S5330, have more similarities than differences. To make things fun lets first discuss about the similarities. The fist similarity is the social capabilities of the phone. Both Wave 2 and Wave 2 pro comes with Samsung’s Social Hub. Hence all your contact details, social networks and email services are synchronized. For the facebook and twitter fans, the phones come preloaded with those applications ( which phone isn’t nowadays!). The second most important features of these two phones is constant connectivity. Wave 2 and Wave 2 pro comes with…
…fast WiFi facility and with Google latitude and Geo-tagging features. It is now easier to find your friends and to update your status. The third feature is something that is must have in phones nowadays. It is non other than entertainment. The bada platform in Wave 2 and Wave 2 pro helps to access to an abundance of applications from Samsung Apps. There are wide range of applications ranging from gaming, navigation, social networking, e-book, health and lifestyle. You can either download the apps directly to your phone (By the way, did I mention that the internet speed in these phones are excellent even without 3G!) or you can transfer to your phone through PC with Samsung Kies. The cons of these two phones when compared to Samsung Wave is that these phones are 2G and display is far inferior to Super AMOLED display. But they will be cheaper ( not yet released).

Wave 2 pro just has an additional sliding QWERTY keypad when compared with Wave 2. Its that simple. With Wave 2 pro you can easily type in your message to friends easily. So that it. So buy Wave 2 pro if you require a QWERTY keypad to type in details. Or buy Wave 2 if you are willing to type in using the touch screen. Any way rest guaranteed these two phones that will be released in August 2010 will mark history in the bada phones.
          So have you made the decision? Are going to buy Wave 2 or Wave 2 pro? Or have you already bought Wave? Tell me your opinion.
