Samsung lumbers on with bada, its own supposedly smartphone operating system, against all the odds, and what we’ve got here on show at IFA this week is the platform’s new flagship: the Samsung Wave 3. See if it’s as swell as it looks here in our hands on gallery.
Samsung Wave II owners who can’t wait to try the new version of the Bada OS will no longer have to – a build of the new & improved Bada 2.0 has been leaked and can be downloaded by the curious (and brave – it might brick your phone).
