Of course, majority of mobile phone users still base their decision on whether to buy a particular model or not on its appearance. Even with its functionalities, no one would buy the iPhone if it looked ugly or un-hip. The great thing about this mobile phone is that it blends classical elegance with a trendy design that you'll surely love.

It comes in shiny, metallic black, and the body is made of aluminum. It looks amazing especially considering its wide 3.3 inch touch screen display. That's right - this smart phone boasts of a 16 million colour capacitive Active-matrix OLED display that has a brilliant resolution of 800 x 480 pixels.

The screen display is covered by tempered glass to prevent scratching. This kind of a screen display is not something you'll find everyday in a smart phone. It measures 118 x 56 x 10.9 mm and weighs only 110 grams, making it easy to carry around in your pocket or purse.

What Makes It Run?

As mentioned earlier, this smart phone will run on the Bada OS. Bada is actually the Korean word for ocean, so expect more ocean-related handset names in addition to the Wave in the coming months. According to Samsung, more handset models running on the Bada will be out by the second half of 2010, though their release will probably depend on the reception given to the Wave.

The Bada was first announced sometime in November last year by the South Korean electronics giant Samsung. It was developed with mobile gaming as a top priority, which gamers would surely love. After all, the Bada was developed with the help of popular gaming developers Capcom and EA. Samsung is hoping that in a few months, the Bada will overtake Google's Android and knock it off the top spot.

What Are the Features in this Phone?

The Samsung S8500 Wave comes with a powerful 1 GHz processor and 2 GB of internal memory, which is easily expandable via a microSD memory card up to an additional 16 GB. It features the latest version of Samsung's trademark user interface called the TouchWiz 3.0, giving the phone a vibrant, young feel.

You'll love the fact that this mobile phone comes with the Piscel File Viewer, which is perhaps one of the most useful Applications that you can find in smart phones today.

After all, this Application not only allows you to open Adobe PDF, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint and Microsoft Word files, it also provides you with additional functionalities such as high quality screen update, faster zooming and panning, multiple page views and continuous page scrolling.
