Samsung Wave brings Bada to Europe today, everyone else told to wait

Samsung's Wave (otherwise known as the 8500) may not be coming to Vodafone UK until June 1st, but it's available somewhere in Europe starting today. According to a new release from the outfit (seen in full after the break), today marks the first day in which its first Bada-equipped smartphone is available in Europe, with Germany, France and the UK mentioned in particular. We're also told that the "complete Bada SDK 1.0.0 will be available for download shortly," and while pricing details weren't discussed, the Wave should ride to Southeast Asia, China, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America in short order.

Google Wave Available To Public

Google Wave has now opened its doors to the public via Google Labs, this time last year I would have sold my wife to get an invite and then when I did get one, what a let down.

I dont think it was Wave's fault, it just wasn't what I needed in my day to day life.

Wave is open now to the public at http://wave.google.com and to Apps users in the next few hours or possibly tomorrow.

Enjoy !!

Hands-on with the Samsung Galaxy S

Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 looks very similar to the Samsung Beam. It utilizes a large 4-inch WVGA Super AMOLED screen, a 1GHz processor and the Android 2.1 operating system.

The camera is 5MP with option for 720p HD video recording at 30 frames per second. Other goodies include 3G, Wi-Fi, A-GPS, HD video playback, as well as playback for many other formats like FLAC, and MKV.

Samsung Galaxy S and Wave 'coming soon' to Vodafone UK

Vodafone has updated its Coming Soon page to show a selection of new handsets, which is highlighted by Samsung's pair of Super AMOLED beasts, the Wave and Galaxy S. 


The Wave brings the new Bada sensibility to British shores, while the Galaxy S will be pretty much the most advanced Android handset the UK has yet seen. It runs version 2.1 with Samsung's own skin on top, but it's the hardware behind it that'll be pushing Brits to upgrade.
