Totally rewamped and full multitasking (at last)

Nothing else to say except - Bada Rox :D

It looks like......Gingerbread.......on the Galaxy SII....yet with the font from the Memoir....

Re: Bada 2.0.1
 

Cant they think up better names?

Re: Bada 2.0.1
 

Samsung use the same UI on all phones. The difference with Bada vs Android is that Bada is much faster and smoother and instead of 2 days battery life you have 2 weeks (a month standby, but of course dependent on use).

Re: Bada 2.0.1
 

It looks better then android to me but where did you get those battery life numbers from, they seem far fetched?

Re: Bada 2.0.1
 

I have had my Wave for half a year now, and the numbers are ballpark from experience, but you can also read them in the specs. But they are very dependent on use, the Wave has a 1 GHz processor, and at full throttle it drains battery like the best of them. The difference is that Bada use a real OS, not a bloated *UX meant for servers. The point is, Bada is not extremely good on battery life, Android/Maemo etc is extremely bad, to the point of lunacy.

However, 2.0 comes with full multitasking, so I would expect battery life to be somewhat less, but not much and more dependent on use cases.

Re: Bada 2.0.1
 

From GSMArena:

Battery Standard battery, Li-Ion 1500 mAh
Stand-by Up to 600 h (2G) / Up to 550 h (3G)
Talk time Up to 15 h (2G) / Up to 7 h (3G)
Music play Up to 35 h

My experience is that standby on 3g is a bit less.

Re: Bada 2.0.1
 

Thats all nice and dandy, but i doubt i'd get more then 24 hours of battery life with my usage pattern on any smartphone on the market atm and you are throwing out numbers like 2 weeks? Seems like a wild exaggeration to me.

Re: Bada 2.0.1
 

The omia HD also had very good battery life. 3 days is pretty easy with some calls, a couple hours browsing every day, notes and calendar,
And the phone has about the same specs as the N900.

Re: Bada 2.0.1
 

Yeah, and had Symbian :)

Re: Bada 2.0.1
 

this may be a competitor to iCrap, but its got nuthin on Maemo/Meego

Re: Bada 2.0.1
 

The way Nokia is going in the latest press releases I think it is safe to say that more Maemo/Meego devices is not going to happen. It is over, the end is here.

Bada is an alternative, it is THE alternative to Android/iOS/WP, at least the only alternative with a future. Bada is one thing, it is all Samsung at the moment, but the core OS is unstoppable in the long run, just as WP is.

Re: Bada 2.0.1
 

So OP is the person who was trolling tags with stupid bada rox tag? Good to know

Re: Bada 2.0.1
 

Bada is not used in high end devices it is designed to compete with Symbian

Re: Bada 2.0.1
 

One problem remains. Still nothing out there to replace my ancient N900

Re: Bada 2.0.1
 

yea - iCrap and Bada are out there in the market on phones that are sold.

Maemo/Meego are both dead.

So yea, you cant compare them.

Re: Bada 2.0.1
 

That sentence is too lame to comment. Bada is based on Nucleus RTOS. It is a platform on that OS that gives Bada devices smartphone capabilities (third party apps) and with the Samsung UI touch wiz or whatever UI they chose.

Nucleus RTOS has been around for ages, and is used on all Samsung dumbphones as well as lots of others and GPS and all sort of gadgets and embedded systems.

Bada is a Samsung thing, Nucleus is available for everyone.

Re: Bada 2.0.1
 

Thank you kind sir for your deep and thorough knowledge.... Lol are you crazy or something? Who talked about RTOS or Nucleus or whatever else is there????? Never thought I would see a Samsung/Bada fanboy... :eek:

Samsung is using Bada to compete with Symbian aka low/mid range market , all of their high end phones run Android.....end of story

Re: Bada 2.0.1
 

LOL Erriccson just done got himself owned haha.

Bada <> Symbian

Re: Bada 2.0.1
 

Bada means Sea/Ocean in Korean. Not bad considering it is very easy to remember and pronounce even by non-Koreans. :p

Re: Bada 2.0.1
 

hmmm, to me bada always sounded like they were going for 'badass os' but chickened out in the end.
