Samsung are certainly hoping the Wave is the future, but is the smartphone buying public ready to embrace yet another new operating system? We think the answer is yes, but perhaps not for the reasons you expect. The Samsung Wave, also known as the GT-S8500 was introduced with a huge fanfare – dancers, a light show and TV presenter Jake Humphrey did the job – at this years Mobile World Congress and it’s the first Samsung mobile to feature their newest operating system, Bada.
You may remember Bada from late 2009, when Samsung unveiled it as their in-house OS, stating their intention had been to build a smartphone system for everybody, and what better way to get us excited about such a thing than debuting it on a brand-new powerhouse phone like the Wave.
Categorising the Wave as simply Samsung’s range-topper would be to label it as just another powerful mobile phone, but this is a lot more than that. Think of it as Samsung’s Nexus One. It shares many features with Google’s phone, it has a stylish but slightly faceless design and runs the company’s own operating system. It’s designed around the current hardware pinnacle, while representing a departure from the manufacturers previous output. What separates the two is who the phones are aimed at. The geeky crowd look dewy-eyed upon a Nexus One, but with the Wave, Samsung intend the average mobile user to be enchanted by a handset with smartphone power and feature phone accessibility.
A Brave New World?
Power.
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chipset may feel like the only 1GHz option on the block, as it seems to inhabit almost every new superphone introduced onto the market recently, but Samsung have chosen to use the ARM Cortex A8 1GHz chipset instead. Introduced with the codename Hummingbird during the middle of 2009, the Wave is the first phone to include the highly energy efficient chip.
Samsung have yet to confirm the RAM and ROM figures for the Wave, but the phone will have a 2GB or 8GB version along with microSD card memory expansion.
Bada itself won’t really be seen, as Samsung have opted to use TouchWiz 3.0 as the Wave’s user interface. The Android-style icons, multiple homescreens, applications and widgets will be familiar to all smartphone users, along with anyone who has previously used a TouchWiz-enabled mobile phone. Now do you see why Samsung have great expectations for the Wave? Just think of the number of people using a Jet or F480 Tocco who are ready for the next level!
The whole system feels super-fast and highly responsive to your touch, with screens zipping by and applications opening instantly. This really will dispel any mistaken notion that smartphones are slower than their feature phone cousins.
Style.
Is the Wave a great looking phone? Well, that’s for you to decide, but there is no denying it’s instantly recognisable as a Samsung phone, with an all-in-one metallic shell covered with subtle curves and the now-familiar diamond shaped Home button flanked by call and end keys.
Dominating the front panel is the 3.3″ Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen. Even if you’ve only seen video of it in action, its pin-sharp level of detail, stunning contrast and deep black levels are all clearly visible. Samsung have been at the forefront of OLED screen technology for a while and the Wave’s 480×800 pixel resolution item confirms this.
What Else Can It Do?
- Connectivity. Naturally, the Wave is a 3G phone with GPRS and EDGE data connections along with HSDPA and HSUPA. Wi-Fi is also built-in.
- Bluetooth 3.0. The Wave will be one of the first to feature the latest version of Bluetooth with its super-fast transfer speeds.
- GPS. Assisted GPS is built-in, as is a digital compass and Samsung Mobile Navigator software.
- Media Player. With such a strong processor onboard, it should come as no surprise that the Wave is great for video, however it may surprise you to hear that the phone is perfectly happy with 720p HD video playback! The phone supports DivX/XviD out of the box, along with the regular MPEG4, WMV, H.263 and H.264 file formats.
- Two Keyboard Options. Select either a landscape or portrait virtual QWERTY keyboard or revert to a standard alphanumeric items. Again, another great way to help smartphone newcomers adapt. Handwriting recognition is also onboard.
- 5 Megapixel Camera. Joining the 5 megapixel camera is face and smile recognition, blink detection, geo-tagging, autofocus and an LED flash. On the video side, the camera will shoot at 30fps and 720p.
- Music Player. The Wave uses Samsung’s DNSe technology along with an equaliser to adapt the sound to your preferences. A 3.5mm jack socket will let you use your own headphones and the phone also has an FM RDS radio.
- Widgets. This being based around TouchWiz, there are plenty of standard widgets and even more to download later.
- Samsung Apps. Potentially, that which makes or breaks Bada as a true Android/iPhone alternative. Many top names are already producing applications for Samsung, and they are likely to also be working on Bada versions. The powerful processor and gorgeous screen make the Wave perfect for many of the high quality games iPhone owners enjoy, so we can’t wait to see what they have on offer at launch.
- Samsung Kies. This is the new sync software which the Wave will use. A very clear and simple to use system should see everyone happily syncing new apps, music and video with the Wave. The phone will also support apps being downloaded directly onto the handset.
Any Downsides?
- The Unknown. For a new OS to be a success, it must first be embraced. Only time will tell if the Wave, and therefore Bada, captures the public’s imagination.
- Applications. Without a healthy app store, a smartphone today simply won’t make it.
- Style. As a piece of technology, the Wave is really superb, as an exercise in design, it’s possibly a little too subtle.
Summary.
The Samsung Wave is perfectly placed to exploit the current interest in smartphones by attracting their legions of feature phone users over with the minimum of upgrade fuss. If you’re already using a smartphone, Samsung’s inclusion of all the must-have features, a super-quick processor, a stunning AMOLED screen and the promise of a packed app store, means that you’ll likely to be joining the queue for a GT-S8500 Wave too!

I agree that it would be better if it were running Android.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think Bada has enough clout to develop really good apps?
May I point out that the ARM Cortex-A8 is the Core component of the processor… This is fairly common to the generation of processors such as the Hummingbird and A4 processors.

Very nice! I need a new phone, my 2 year old put mine in the washing machine and switched it on. I now have a very clean, but completely broken, phone!
I love the fact that it feels like a quality phone and has HD video recording, a 1GHz Samsung-own Hummingbird processor, a super-slim chassis, the latest Super AMOLED screen and multi-touch support. This is a quality phone and I’m a Samsung phone fan anyway.
My son would be sooooooooo envious – he laughs at mine at the moment!
This seems to do everything except walk the dog! I definitely need a phone like this
Looks like a great phone to use.
ooh, what a snazzy number! yes please.
fab phone. need a new one…
A well specified mobile-’phone. Samsung’s screen should be good. If the Operating Sytem is as good as it reads, then this ‘phone is a winner.
Very informative article. Makes me want the Samsung Wave even more.
This phone looks amazing – it can do everything! Me please! x
This is such an awesome phone, its so sleek and modern, it sounds like it does everything, and what cool apps. I really would love one please

A smartphone with groove!
I would love to win the ‘phone – it looks great!
It’s stunning. Samsung products are always well designed, they look and feel good and work well – it seems like the Wave is no exception. I’m impressed by the fact it actually runs fast. I’ve been put off owning a smartphone a bit by stories of the iphone and others being ridiculously slow. I think it might finally be time to upgrade.
i need a new mobile, my old one is crap, and almost everything doesnt work on it.
The Samsung Wave looks great, i would like to win one.;)
Hello future my old friend.
Now, where’s my shopping list gone…. note to self – add Samsung Wave.
looks good buts its a samsung so will it be as good as other phones
Just when I thought things couldn’t get any better Samsung have pulled another one out of the hat.
Looks a super phone – I would really like to use this and show my family that I am clever
If I saw a Samsung Wave I’d offer to (Bluetooth) handshake
. Looks like another winner from Samsung.
Defo need a new phone (mine has, like, 30 mins of charge)… This looks amazing…
I always always buy samsung phones because they are so easy to use and so reliable LOVE them
Samsung, gis a wave!
Samsung Samsung gis a wave!
This phone has unbelievable teckers!!
what a cool phone
Looks cool, packed with features – if its as dependable as my Dad’s old Samsung its got to be a winner!
My Daughter changes her phone every 18 months, my Hubby gets her old one and I get his, so I have never had a phone that isn’t at least 3 years old. I love the look of this one and would love, just once, to have a brand new phone better than either of theirs
Would love to win this, the spec looks absolutely amazing.
Looks fabulous, nice and compact too!
that is one awesome phone
looks and functions wise supreme may have to save up if i doont win one 
Oh my loving Samsung Wave!
You are tinkling in my eyes!
You have a unique style and design!
Who could have produced such an imagination?
A glimpse of the Wave on the website!
Luring hundreds to post at eyesight!
It’s all because,
Samsung Wave provides the best features of a Smartphone!
With a finger touch,
Wave connecting to the World!
Dear consumers of the Samsung wave,
Say thank you for the two keyboard options!
With the Wave GPS at your finger tip,
You’ll never loose your grip on any trip!
Samsung Apps will enhance your life
The music player will make you feel alive!
All going to wave good bye to their smart-less phones!
It’s time to embrace and surf on the Samsung Wave!
Oh Samsung slim beauty Wave!
I am very obsessed with you!
I long to hold you close to my ears, but
I can’t afford you, outcome the tears!
Yet, I pray to win a Samsung Wave!
Oh Samsung Wave! Please come to me!
Come ashore and speak to me!
My heart is beating with awe and excitement…
Many thanks to the Admin and good luck to all!!
OMG, can the next Samsung model brush my teeth as well?? That’s about the only thing this one doesn’t do! I want it now!
sounds absolutely great and with an AMOLED screen… wow
Lovely phone, would love to win this, but I think my sons would nick it first for all the apps.
Such a pretty phone, sleek yet innovative, the kind of mobile phone I would proudly take with me wherever I may be
Thats a damn sexy phone
Samsung Weave A Veritable Exquisiteness
Looks good, would love one of those!
one word – lush!
“too subtle”
I find it difficult to wholeheartedly agree with your comment
Excellent specs..we’ll have to wait and see if Samsung can ‘wave’ goodbye to all other smartphone manufacturers…
THIS LOOK FAB. I WOULD LOVE TO WIN THIS
A phone to die for samsung have always produced some of the best phones.
Hey guys
I’ve been following this phone for a while and cant wait to get my hands on it. Its priced very cheap when considering the specs but i think this is due to the fact samsung have added their own “new” os bada. From the video’s and reviews ive seen online the new os seem’s to be the best out there as it has all the best features of the other os’s and the added some extra in a nice package. As i’ve said earlier the specs are truely amazing however you look at it for the next two years+ noone can say the spec sheet looks old as most of the stuff on this phone have never been seen before on a mobile device (such as the wifi n, bluetooth 3 and super amoled screen ect). Then comes the design which I really like as its not too big and has abit more character then the other touch screen phones which just look like bricks and to top it all off the body is made from a single piece metal casing…….. I think slick is the word im looking for here. Anyway hope loads of people buy this phone as the more people own it the more apps ther’ll be
now what would be sweet is if the wave was like its name and was waterproof,,,then i would let it have my babys
Good article, very informative and comprehensive, the phone sounds like an amazing piece of technology.
Hope its as good as it looks!
So slick I love it !
I’m in AWE: A Wave of Emotion!
Looks like a really good phone!
Goodluck to everyone who is entering.
Im waiting all for this. This is a worthy contender
I have the Jet at the moment, and the Wave would be the IDEAL replacement! It seems fantastic!
I’m so gonna ‘ride the wave’
All hail the king, and wave goodbye to pretenders
Very futuristic indeed. I think it is awesome. This phone will sure pep up the competition between high end mobiles
Have a Nexus at the moment, but this certainly has a interesting spec set. I think the proof will be in the apps.
Looks great! @soggykipper
What you can do on this phone is totally amazing, I couln’t compare my old(but still using) phone to the one in the competition
Fantastic features, Great looking phone, I have the perfect dress to go with it!
Very impressive stylish phone
I’m currently an i8910HD owner, and have always bought Samsung phones. The Wave caught my eye from last years MWC, what an awesome spec phone…much like the i8910HD was and in some cases still is.
This is my problem though, after Samsungs total disregard for the i8910HD pretty much only months after it’s release, I’m now wondering will Samsung off ANY after sales support in the form of firmware/software updates. My experience with the i8910HD has left a bitter taste, I really hope Samsung with the Wave and Bada will be able to restore my confidence in them and their product.
fine, awesome ,well supported , rich featured, one from samsung.
Such a stylish looking phone! Who wouldn’t want one?!
Very nice phone! I’d love one of those
Id like to wave hello to one of those little beauties!
Looks awesome!
very nice can i win please lol
I can’t wait to get my hands on this phone
Very nice phone, good job Samsung. I hope, that the Bada appstore will be good too. The Super AMOLED screen is very impressive!
Nice looking phone – but will it be up to the competition?
I’ll let you know….
I love the look of this phone.
i need this in my life
I think the wave is looking like a great alternative to the i-phone.
Awesome looking phone!
The must have iphone
It’s such a lovely phone – I’d love to win one
Looks like a really great phone!
I think i am in love..its a work of art *dreams of winning it* Thanks for chance!
There’s something about a Samsung Wave
Something about it that I crave.
With a music player, camera and lots lots more
I’d be the first at the mobile shop, knocking down the door.
To own this piece of technology would be a dream come true.
There couldn’t be anything better except for maybe two!
awesome phone…looks great..
WOW! This looks great, I’ve already got a Samsung Omnia i900 and this looks like its even better than my current phone, and its excellent
The mobile phone has finally grown up. Helloooo Daddy.
This phone finally persuades me that I really ought to have a mobile.
There’s just one word… Stunning!!!
Gimme :p
Would certainly be an improvement on my current phone. Nokia 3210 (Had since 1999, is that a record? lol)
I need to have one, the wave looks awesome, beats the pants of my current samsung fone
Superb phone. Super AMOLED really is impressive.
I want one!
great phone for great guys!
You asked Samsung, The Wave one gives you the answer…
Great phones for great people!!!
Looks good, I’m a Samsung fan anyway but I hope they get it in funky bright colours too.

Dear Team dail-a-phone,
I took about 20 mins to read the full article. THIS PHONE IS JUST SIMPLY AMAZING!!!! . Hands/Hats off to dial a phone and Samsung. Both are working as (x+y) 〖^2〗=x〖^2〗+y〖^2〗+2xy . Means, buy one get one free offer. And the divine words “Categorising the Wave as simply Samsung’s range-topper would be to label it as just another powerful mobile phone, but this is a lot more than that. ” built a passion for me for the Samsung Wave. Samsung is going to make good money from this phone. (Remember That!)
Regards,
Abhishek Verma
Exceptional phone with simply brilliant screen makes your life much more colourful and cheerful.
please….let it be mine
Really good alternative to the iPhone!
Yes please, it looks super
This looks to be a fab phone! Love the idea of the geotagging on the 5mp camera – very nifty!
Nice bit of kit!
OMG! it looks gorgeous!
I love Samsung phones.. The screens are amazing..
They are the best manufactuer of screens..
They make screens for Sony TV’s for gods sake
Just shows how rubbish Sony stuff really is when they cant make their own!.
I would soooo love this phone..
This product looks fantastic, I’m so excited to own one!
Looks good – get me in the draw.
I love the look of this phone – so much better than the iphone!
The Samsung Wave is a smartphone that looks smart!

If i win this FAB. phone, you will be the first person i will call !
I would love to win this. Please enter me in the draw.
I too would love to win this phone as I can’t afford a HTC Desire!
great phone i want it, “stamps feet” i want it NOW!!
Looks as though this could be a future purchase. I currently own the samsung jet and have to say I am impressed with that!
pretty sweet phone, fingers crossed
Looks great quality phone
I have had my Samsung u600 for about 3-4 years now and it’s served it’s purposr wonderfully. I’ve dropeed it on the floor numerous times and even dropped it in the bath once and it survived! However it is nearing the end of it’s life – it no longer plays videos, photos turn out dark yellow in colour and the backlight doesn’t work unless I hold it half open. Therefore I’ve been thinking about purchasing a new phone.
There are so many on the market now with so many new features that it is quite daunting! I thought that maybe an iPhone or a HTC may be good, but they all sound so complicated to use.
This new Samsung Wave sounds like it would be perfect for me. It is made by a company that I trust and sounds like it wouldn’t be too complicated for me to use being a smartphone newbie.
The video and camera capabilities are just what I need, and seeing as I’m about to get my first car, the GPS features would be very handy and would save me from purchasing a seperate sat-nav system.
All-in-all, I think that this phone will be a big hit, and I will be first in line when it hits the shops
Crossing my fingers.
That looks pretty sweet….
Amazing phone! Can’t wait to get my hands on one! One of the must have summer gadgets!
Nice phone by Samsung, Future Wave
I need this phone ohso badly to make all my friends sick as chips
Samsung have always been a leader and proved it yet again with this gorgeous new phone. Well done and keep it up.x

Would make a great replacement for any lucky owner

Would love a shiny new Samsung – mine is a bit jaded

The Samsung Wave is all the rage,

The phone looks good, the phone looks smart
the phone really is, a work of art.
It’s highly responsive to your touch,
I really couldn’t ask for anything much
more than this
and to own one would be absolute bliss.
My boyfriend bought a Nokia smartphone from dialaphone but unfortunately I’m still left with my Sony Ericson from 2004! I would love to show him up with this one, teehee!
This looks like a really cool phone.

I Have been a Samsung Convert for years now and think they are the best phones on the market. would love to win this because otherwise have to wait till the price drops to the bottom of the sea (wave pun!! ok very bad one) to afford one
They’ll have to try very hard to catch up with HTC but this looks like it might do it.
Another great phone to dream of owning…18 month contracts are such a pain in the bum…roll on 2012!
This phone looks beautiful. I’m looking forward to giving it a try.
Looks good, I’m looking at all the new smart phones trying to decide what to get when my contract expires.
Already had a play on this at the Gadget Show live. Love the fact that when you’re using the keypad in texts it vibrates like a proper keyboard would. The little things count!
would love to win looks amazing
would love to win
It looks so cool!Does it clean your house too?
This phone does look impressive and a great way to replace my current Samsung
This is a really amazing phone .. technology and style at its best. The features this phone offers is really mind boggling.

This phone looks good and easy to use. My current phone has some serious usability issues so this is one of my main niggles and I think this would solve the problem! I reeeally want one!!
looks like a very stylish phone, has an excellent spec possibly the best samsung to date.
A supuberly designed phone for the modern person – the amount of applications on a single phone is amazing. You’ll never get bored with this phone.
Well you’ve got samsung reliability and a phone that looks awsome what more do you need
Looks amazing…

I am on a case of this one since it was firstly announced – looks great! love it!
looks like a wonderful and astylish and a very reliable and a smooth phone . It has all features which a phone should have. Hope i should get this phone soon in my hands
thank you
The Samsung Wave: It’s stylish, sophisticated and offers superior features and benefits. The Wave leads the way in Smartphones & beats the i Phone hands down!
I haven’t seen many adverts on this phone yet – but I’m sure I will. It looks like a real contender. I might have to get myself one!
A lovely stylish phone.
I want one.
Looks like an absolutely great phone! Finally some competition for the iphone stranglehold!
I love my Samsung at last the future is bright!!!!!!!!!
I’m currenrtly using the tocco lite but this looks loads better
Awesome phone, definitely the best Samsung have produced to date!
amazing… love the styling, i’ve been shopping around for a new phone for a few weeks now and have been torn between sticking with blackberry or changing my brand…think i’m gonna have to change my brand now…sorry bb!!
This phone does look impressive but can it sway me from Blackberry. Only one way to find out … I need to win one!
i would absolutely love this, apart from the obvious pun ‘what better phone to ’surf’ the web on than a ‘wave’ lol, joking aside, i dont even have a mobile phone, i have 2 cups and a bit of string lol.looks gorgeous though xx
WOW!!!!! This is a definate must have!
Better than an iPhone
I used to be a nokia gal but since I got my Genio I’ve converted to samsung! I’d love this new phone tho!
Looks awesome, if it’s half as good as the Nexus One then Samsung is on to a winner.
- proof of the pudding will be in the eating I guess,- I’d like to compare the amoled listed on this to the iphone touch screen myself…
Gotta have it! Im in the dark ages with an old Motorola V3. This would so give me loads of street cred. Love it. This is better than the iphone.
Very desirable – I want!
I really want one of these!!
Lack of apps will be a problem, but everything else looks good. I’m ready to ride the wave!
OMG cant wait for this phone!!!
The Samsung Wave is going to make the other company;s think,
I currently own a Samsung Soul, which when it launched just over 18 months ago I believe was an amazing phone in my opinion! I still love it & love the Samsung phones, so this one is definitely on my list of new phones to check out!!
I would love to say hello to the world with this tech..with this wave and endless apps i would rideing high
Looks like yet another contender in the smartphone battlefield
I don’t have anything like this but it looks good.
fingers and legs crosed and hope and pray for a win this would make my day what a cracking phone to show off with
Does anybody actually read these comments.
Yes its a nice phone and would be wonderful to win but do people have to kiss ass to try and win one.
lets be honest with our opinions and not creep.
Samsung seriously need to bring out a big style competitor to the Nokia’s and iPhones of the mobile world.
Is this it well who knows. Give me a try and i will let you know.
what a fantastic piece of kit
Great looking phone! would love to win one!!!
It’s a good looking phone & the screen is fantastic. In theory it could be one of the greats – here’s hoping Samsung give it decent firmware support
The specs on this are really nice. My contract is up for renewal but there are no handsets I like. This one would be a most worthy replacement for my dusty Xperia X1!
Looks great – on the shortlist for my next phone. A natural successor to my Tocco Ultra!
hey watched few youtube videos on this mobile, sounds really amazing! would love a samsung mobile:)
WHAT PEOPLE WILL SAY TO WIN A PHONE,LET THE PHONE SPEAK FOR ITS-SELF.
I’ve had my beloved Samsung phone for years but I’d love to go surfing on this Wave! It’s beautiful.
Will this be replacing the Mexican Wave at footie games?
Has a nice solid look to it.
Off shore and pumping surfs up!!!!
Looks better than an iFail
Cracking phone, what a lovely piece ok kit!
I already have the Nexus one,I would like to get my hands on one of these to see how they could possibly replace Android. Like to check the screen out too.
I’ve been watching this unfold ever since I saw the photos comparing the iPhones screen to the Waves, and I gotta say, I want one!
The Samsung Wave looks and sounds like a fantastic phone that will be brilliant if they do have all the apps that they say there is going to be, I would be proud to own one x
Gosh, what doesn’t this phone do?! Would love to win one of these and try out all the apps etc. Fingers crossed!
This bit of the article is SO funny: “Just think of the number of people using a Jet or F480 Tocco who are ready for the next level!”
We Jet users are still waiting on Samsung enabling us to update our firmware and fixing the multiple bugs the phone has, let alone worrying about the next level. I would think if most of us want the next level, it wont be from Samsung, given their appalling history of not supporting the Jet. A case of once bitten, twice shy.
Samsung should have put Android on the Wave, then it would have been a world beater.
Loving the Samsung Wave in a big way!!! Quality teckers, and about time Samsung joined the smartphone race with a worthy contender
I was watching the MWC coverage – really hope to get my hands on this soon! I think it might just out do the iphone!
