Undaunted by the same pressures that faced the First ELSE, Samsung pushed through with the development, production and launch of the Bada operating system –the proprietary OS for the Korean phone maker.

The device was first seen at the MWC last February, while we were quite astounded by the amazing quality of the super AMOLED touch screen display there is no doubt that the handset was overshadowed by the release of the Samsung i9000 Galaxy S (which shared similar hardware specs, has the Android OS and has a much larger super AMOLED display).

Samsung’s intention with the Bada OS was to introduce the smart phone to all markets. The Korean phone maker believes that every person should own a smart phone and that the Bada OS is the perfect, match for a device targeted for everyone. It’s a pretty big call to make, but Samsung has most of the elements down.

The user interface is a little plain, despite having the TouchWiz UI already activated, the Bada sticks pretty much to clean cut basics. It pretty much betrays the power of the high end Wave, but it makes the platform a great fit for slower, lower end devices.

Still, the Wave is good enough to hold its own; good enough, in fact, to sell over a million units easily. According to Samsung they were able to reach the mark just a little after the first month of sales –and for a new OS in an industry already dominated by the Android and the Apple iOS, it is quite a feat that the Wave was able to achieve.

For those who still have not purchased the Samsung Wave handset, the device is already available in various offers and tariffs.

Small wonder since it runs on the much sought-after Android operating system, has a 5 megapixel camera, generous amount of storage and a big capacitive touchscreen.

Powerful OS, UI and CPU

The i9000 is a robust mobile phone packed with the power of the Android v2.1 operating system and a fast ARM Cortex A8 1GHz processor. The TouchWiz 3.0 User Interface provides several home screens which are highly-responsive to finger gestures and easy to navigate.

Display and user interface

Accepting one of the many Samsung Galaxy S deals provides the user a high-end display. It comes with a 4-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen run by a mobile Digital Natural Imagine engine (mDNIe), the same technology used in Samsung’s LCD and LED televisions. The touchscreen can display up to 16 million colours and includes impressive features such as an accelerometer, proximity sensor, multi-touch input system and touch-sensitive controls. It also comes with Swype text input which enables intuitive typing on the virtual QWERTY keyboard.

Pocket-friendly entertainment centre

Despite its large screen, the Samsung Galaxy S weighs a mere 118 gm and just 9.9 mm thin, making it a pleasure to hold and pocket-friendly as well. It comes in either 8 GB or 16 GB model, both of which are upgradeable up to 32 GB should the need for more storage space arise.

The i9000 is equipped with a 5 megapixel digital camera which can also function as a video cam which can record at 30 frames per second. The camera also has autofocus, touch focus, face and smile detector as well as geo-tagging features. The Samsung Galaxy S also ships with a versatile media player which can play various music and video file formats with stunning clarity.
