samsung bada os new phones

R

hey guys need help regarding the new bada os phones.........
no proper reviews yet but they r already available at a gr8 price
samsung s5250..plz provide a good review of the phone
Samsung S5250 Wave525 - Full phone specifications
the phone is available for rs.7700

I don't think this phone is announced in India yet. And if it is available for under 8k, it will be truly VFM. Do remember that it doesn't have 3G support.

R

its available on stores in delhi...just found it on a shop near my house for rs.7800 with a 2gb mem card........3g doesnt matter much....3g services will arrive nxt year at high prices....m already using a SE C510 with mtnl 3g and its no gud yet....i want a cheap wifi phone with cap. touch...........
just dont noe abt bada much yet ne info on dat.......

S

It is not availbale here in Kerala...

BTW,Bada is not an OS.It is just a platform..

R

its called a mobile operating system check wiki.............btw how does it matter...can some1 plz comment on how is bada?????????

Bada OS is based on Linux kernel, its a new mobile OS in the market. So, good application for this OS is very less. Unlike Android which has more than 70,000+ apps. But it'll change in the future.

bada is for samsung what windows mobile 7 is for microsoft

they both trying their best investing billions of dollers in promotion and development

even ios and android started with very few applications... :lol:

R

tnx guys but i already noe this stuff.......can some1 who has used the phone plz review it......y arnt ne of the mobile sites like gsmarena or even digit or samsung site itself doesnt do it.....i just want to noe whether the touch and the ui is smooth and usable......
really want to buy android (x8) but is out of budget will go for it nxt year

Bada has very less chances of picking up considering the saturation of market and ever-growing inclination towards Android. Wave buyers said Bada store will pick up, but they have been saying that since months now. Practically, Bada scenario hasn't changed much even today. Go for Wave ONLY if you want a good Multimedia phone, else there are very good Android phones, costing much less than Wave (Galaxy 3) or slightly more than Wave (Legend).

R

we r talking about wave 2 here which is very much less than the galaxy 3 (12k)

I know, but I was replying in context with 2 posts above mine. Moreover, you said you'd rather go for Android, so my post compared Android phones with the only Bada OS phone that's in circulation, Wave. Wave II isn't really available everywhere as of now.

As a multimedia phone wave is much better then galaxy 3

but if u follow ever growing fan following of android(like IOS :wink:

) then u can have galaxy 3 which comes in ur budget but have much poor screen then wave

What is bada | Samsung bada
See yourself. It is not an OS.
It is just a platform.

Even in wiki, read the architecture part.
There are already several phones powered with bada. Galaxy series hava bada underneath.

I just want to correct you. (As i had a long experience in taking a seminar on that..

)
All the sites say that it is an OS.

Anyway it doesnt matter for you.. So leave it..
Actually the wave and Wave 2 are so good phones. Having a great spec in the 20k region.
Actually i wish to have the Galaxy S :-D

.But dont have the budget so cut down my dreams to Wave series. The 10k wave is also having a good spec.

The wave is the first phone to feature superAMOLED and Bluetooth 3.0

* If you need furthur clarification regarding the OS n platform concept,See here

Bro u r saying that samsungs implements other OS on BADA platform...is it so??

But how can it be possible...an android OS will be implemented as plain vanilla android if samsungs touchwiz UI is not installed...where does this platform come from?

if every one of the mobile company implements plain android it will look exactly same I suppose :grin:

sorry didnt read that thread...will surely read it afterwards

S

it is like the .net frame work in windows.

The Windows XP is like Android
You can have both XP and .net in the same sytem right ?

And for running .net applications,u need to have the .net framework irrespective of XP Vista or Windows 7 or Linux or whatever.
It is the same concept here..

For executing applications developed in bada SDK(like Visual studio for .net applications), you need to have bada frame work installed in the phone. All the upcoming samsung mobiles will have this bada platform preintalled. So whichever application you write in bada SDK,will work if bada is there..,irrespective of the OS(Android or Windows 6.5 or 7 or whatever...)

Such a beautiful idea... So nice... Hats off Samsung...
If other companies agree to use bada platform,then we will have a uniform platform set for developer.. Which will be the dream for every developer.

If you want further details,you may go through that link i provided. It explains everything...

Which 'better' phones are you talking about in the range of 12k?

R

i would prefer the se x8 for 13k..............
galaxy spica has a way better display(high resolution) and almost the same features

I am very sorry bro...I got carried away with the name of samsung wave..but u r talking abt wave 2 :???:

U can also have galaxy 5 which cost nearly 8k and have android and 3g :smile:

R

hmmmm i dnt lyk the galaxy 5 much........smaller screen 2mp cam......ya this phone is just temp.....will buy a new android phone next year wen my class 12th ends in april......will hve higher budget then and will look for better androids den
even wont be using many apps till den so bada doesnt matter ......

the major difference in galaxy 5 and wave 2 is 3g...if u need 3g then go or galaxy 5 ...remaining all specs seems similar

if want high resolution screen and 3g u can also consider nokia touch screens

R

nokia touch screens r mostly resistive in this price range.....and i dont prefer nokia fones at all.......and as i said i dont think i will use 3g the data plans r very costly.(m already using 1 mtnl 3g on my c510 and thats supposed to b the cheapest of 3gs)wifi is better wen it comes to connectivity.........m thinking of getting a router for my house so wont be much trouble ........ cap. touch is what m really looking for otherwise multimedia features m pretty happy with my old phone

R

hey guys!!!!!!!changed my mind n finally bought the galaxy 3..couldnt resist the android temption.......awesome features as far as i hve used......
