10/7: Badaforums has been growing bigger and bigger over the last few months and with more and more devices coming out, we thought it would be a good idea to open up a place where users can interact with each other and buy, sell, or trade items.

10/6: With all the leaked information regarding firmware version 1.2, we here at Badaforums decided to create a contest called “Guess the Date” which will give users to chance to try and guess the date when an OFFICIAL release of Bada 1.2 will be available on the Wave S8500.
