Samsung S8600 Wave 3 Released

Today Samsung announced that its new bada flagship, the S8600 Wave 3 is hitting the shelves around the world. The smartphone, which was announced at the end of August is making its market debut just in time for the holiday shopping spree.

Samsung didn’t quote the price of the Wave 3, but a quick search around online shops did the trick. The Samsung S8600 Wave 3 is currently going for about €280 after taxes in Europe, which seems like quite a decent bargain considering the package you are getting.

The Samsung S8600 Wave 3 is built around a 4″ Super AMOLED of WVGA resolution and runs bada OS 2.0 on a 1.4GHz Scorpion processor. A 5-megapixels auto-focus camera with LED flash and 720p video recording @30fps should cater for your photography needs, while a VGA front-facing snapper enables video-chatting.

Throw away your depression medication! Now all the old Wave owners can expect a bada 2.0 firmware upgrade soon!

Radio Ball 3D Review

Radio Ball 3D is one of the most addicting games I’ve ever played on the bada OS platform. The bada Developer Challenge finalist is a fun, radioactive, fast-paced and accelerometer driven 3D game. You control a uranium ball driven by radioactive waste which rushes through a tunnel. Go as far as you can, collect power-ups, do combos and avoid or destroy obstacles. And oh yeah… this game’s music kicks ass!

Tablets and Dual Core- BADA on backfoot?

BADA,Two Big concerns but is that of a bother now?

Keith O’Brien,Head of Content,Samsung Mobile said that BADA on large screen is not on agenda now. Interesting comment from him considering Tablets are getting popular and is on quite on demand. But the matter of fact is that BADA was not designed to run on large screens at least as far as its architecture goes. Its similar to what happened with Android. The OS was designed for mobile phones, Precisely as a feature phone OS. While much of BADA fan section is awaiting for a tablet. It is important to know that BADA has still not evolved into smartphone OS and the sales of the Tablet loaded with BADA OS would get only a lukewarm response and that is what Samsung is trying to avoid this situation, With the introduction of KAL-El, The Tablet market will experiece a huge leap forward and with BADA 3.0 in development, May be Samsung can look into this market as well. But much of it will depend on how well BADA 2.0 fares in the market.

Dual Core Processors:

Well when dual core processors phones were launched, {Especially after the announcement of Galaxy SII} The online forums had this kind of question. “Will a BADA phone come with a dual core processor?” The buzz seems to have gone down after the launch of WAVE 3. Many fans were disappointed to see the phone not powered by dual core, Instead it came with a 1.4 Ghz processor, which according to many is more then enough for BADA. The only other major smart phone OS which runs on similar configuration is the Windows Phone 7. But it has been confirmed that Windows Phone 7 will be running in a dual core processor soon.

So I guess, Its time for Samsung to start looking into these demands seriosuly now, Especially after Keith O’Brien admitted that next year BADA will be seen in many new phones and to be precise in 17% of the Sammy’s devices in UK. And they are now looking at this OS as a major asset.

Sounds Exciting!!! Isn’t it..?
