PREVIEW: Samsung S8500 Wave

So the main features of this phone are; EDGE class 10, HSDPA 7.2 Mbps and HSUPA 2 Mbps, Form factor:Touchscreen bar, Dimensions:10.9 mm thin, Display:3.3" 16M-color Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with 480 x 800 pixels resolution, scratch-resistant glass surface, Platform: Bada OS, CPU: 1 GHz processor, Memory: 2GB internal memory, microSD card slot, Camera: 5-megapixels auto-focus camera, 720p video recording, Connectivity: Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n with WPS support, Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP, standard microUSB port, GPS receiver with A-GPS, 3.5mm audio jack, Misc: Accelerometer for screen auto rotate, proximity sensor for screen auto-turn-off, ambient light sensor, FM radio with RDS, DivX/XviD support, multi-touch input and pinch-zooming gestures, Battery: 1500 mAh battery.

The phone comes with a 720p video recording and 1 GHz CPU which probably are the best features of the phone but of course they do raise the cost of the device due to which the phone becomes hugely un-accessible to some people. This is a disadvantage for the phone as smartphones exist in such shapes and numbers today that even a single wrong step can go against their sales.

But having said that, Samsung’s strong point is that this still is the first Bada phone and so will hold a certain charm of its own for the potential users.
