The Samsung Wave : A Short Guide

The cell phone market is awash with great smartphones at the moment, and the new Samsung Wave is a great addition to it. With its large 3.3″ inch screen, 1GHz processor, 8GB of internal storage and world-roaming 3.5G, it is certainly a top-tier phone. Looks wise, it is slim and professional, perfect for the on the go businessman or businesswoman. The show-stopper is Super AMOLED screen, taking the class-leading AMOLED screen used on Samsung’s range in 2009 even further, with clearly richer and more vibrant colors. The panel itself displays 800 x 480 pixels, which makes it ideal for surfing the web or watching videos. This new design reflects less light and, therefore, handles better outdoors. Samsung achieved this by removing layers of the touchscreen technology and effectively placing the OLED display directly under the surface layer of glass. The end result is a screen that no other manufacturer can match at this time.

You will have few, if any, complaints about the Samsung Wave’s user interface, as it is clean and responsive. You can really feel the benefits of the having the phone run off a 1GHz processor. It would have been nice to see Samsung try to have been a little bit more inventive though, as they have clearly borrowed heavily from Google’s Android operating system. Still, at least they have a copied a good, proven operating system, rather than a bad one. The Samsung Wave is particularly good for people who find themselves sending and receiving a lot of messages, whether they be SMSs, emails or Tweets. The user interface makes it quick and easy to check for and send out new messages, as you can look after all of your accounts from a single messaging feature. The calendar features are also worth highlighting, as Samsung have clearly made efforts to make them a cut above what you would expect. You can link up your calendar with your social networking accounts, and it is easy for your friends and contacts to know what you will be doing when (that is, if you want them to know).

So, if you are in the market for a new smartphone, then the Samsung Wave should definitely be one that you give consideration to. It is professional, sleek and reliable, if not a game changer. With this new release, Samsung have shown that they are in the smartphone market for the long term, and you can expect this to be the first of many great phones to based on their new Bada operating system.
