We are proud to announced that Mobile Choice has given the award for best social networking handset to the Samsung Wave! It is no secret that our generation is going to be known for social networking. There are all kinds of sites that let you connect with friends, find people who share your interests, and let you meet up with different people at different places.  The cool thing though is that mobile phones have envolved into “social networking hubs” if you will. They let users access Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, and more on the go and sometimes even interact with GPS that will let you know where a friend is currently at. There are many devices that incorporate social networking into the platform but there is only one that does it best.

The Wave lets you sync contacts with just about anything including Facebook, Twitter, Windows Live, Gmail, Microsoft Exchange and more! Speaking of contacts, I like to call the Wave’s contact list a “contact list on steroids” because it literally pulls all the information from your friends on Facebook and puts them into one place. It will also show a history of communication for that person so you can easily keep up with the conversation. The contact list will even sync with there photos so that you can view them directly on the phone. If that wasn’t enough for you, you can sync your calendar with Facebook so you wont miss someones birthday or concert. You can also send invites to your friends directly from the app. So with all the syncing and integration with social networking and the Bada OS paired together with a very sleek phone and amazing SAMOLED display, the Wave is a clear cut winner for the Mobile Choice award for social networking!

On top of coming in 1st in social networking, the Samsung Wave also came in as a runner up for “best camera phone” only to lose to the Nokia N8 with its 12-megapixel camera with Xenon flash!
