The Wave is the first handset that’s loaded with Samsung’s new Bada OS. The quest of the Bada (meaning Ocean in Korean) platform is to provide faster and cheaper smartphones to the mobile community. Technically Bada has been around for awhile, it’s the name for Samsung’s proprietary OS that runs most of their smartphones. Of course now it’s gotten a bit more sophisticated. So here’s a closer look at the S8500 Bada powered handset, better known as the Samsung Wave.
One big issue I had with this handset was that I was I was unable to use any other 3.5mm jack equipped handsfree or earphones with this device except for the bundled set. I tried with two handsfree kits from other devices and three pairs of earphones but it didn’t work. I either got static or ended up with just one spear providing audio. The silver lining is that the bundled kit is very comfortable and sounds great. This could however be considered issues with just this test piece. The menus have an Adaptive option that allocates the most used or recently used options at the top of the list. It can be shut off if you want. The virtual keypad is also very much like Androids. Multitouch is an added bonus. You can access all running apps by holding down the menu key. Watching videos on the Wave was a great experience. It supports DivX and XviDcodecs with AVI files up to 720p and playback is smooth. You can also use the 5.1 channel surround sound option for videos. Colors look exceptionally good at any viewing angle. A few other video settings include adjustable color tones, brightness control and a mosaic search option to play the file from selected points. A resume function is built-in. |
