You are one very confused/confusing guy... your username is ericsson (Sony Ericsson?), you love bada (Samsung), yet you love posting at TMO (used to be Nokia)...:confused:
:D

Re: Bada 2.0 rox
 

AFAIK BADA is a really BAD cause its most closed crap Linux OS more close than android.

personally My list is:

Maemo/Meego
webos
android

Re: Bada 2.0 rox
 

TMO more & more becoming a place for competitor toddlers. Btw, Bada is not running Linux kernel (though it could) IIRC, but Nucleus instead.
Samsung fanbois... ts ts. Is there a talk.bada.org somewhere? Go and play there.

Re: Bada 2.0 rox
 

It's a C++-based API & UI that can run on top of a Linux kernel, or a proprietary OS. A bit like Qt.

Re: Bada 2.0 rox
 

For me:
MeeGo
Maemo5 / Android
WebOS
iOS
WP7
Bada
Symbian

If I could, I prefer a hybrid:
1) MeeGo OS
2) with Dalvik engine fully compatible with Android apps
3) UX from WebOS with slight inspiration from Android

But it is more likely to have:
1) Android OS
2) rootable, unlocked bootloader
3) with Qt, QML, C++ framework
4) UX from WebOS with slight inspiration from Android

Re: Bada 2.0 rox
 

Yes, but Samsung is using Nucleus.

The C++ API is a bit like the crap Nintendo does, even standard stuff like memory allocation and file/disk access has to go through it, so forget a smooth ride if you want to port some POSIX code to it. Prepare for a rewrite.

Had to do some work on Bada and already hated it after a day ;)

The cool thing about mobile phones is the variety. This variety and competition is what move things fwd.

Re: Bada 2.0 rox
 

...and corporate ******** is what holds us back.

Re: Bada 2.0 rox
 

LOL, yes it is easy to think that, but imo fanboyism is what holds most people back.

fanboyism = a perverted form of vanity and group pressure created by ignorance and corporate ********.

I'm just lmaof at the troll-tags!!!

Re: Bada 2.0 rox
 

Did I mention that Bada 2.0 rox? It does, big time :D

Re: Bada 2.0 rox
 

screen captures or videos that supports your statements?

Re: Bada 2.0 rox
 

Bada at least its better than WP7.

only shittier OS wp7 are blackberry OS, and symbian PRE-belle.

Re: Bada 2.0 rox
 

I even take Symbian S60v3 all before WP7. At least it had offline routing programs like TomTom and Garmn Mobile XT, Multiasking, copy & paste, and BT file send/receive. And the phonebook was not the worst.

Re: Bada 2.0 rox
 

All I'm looking for is a smartphone with decent specs, open enough so I can install an OS of my preference (read: GNU/Linux) without hacks, cracks, patches, hooks, swimming backwards and whatnot. It doesn't exist. You call that a variety?

Re: Bada 2.0 rox
 

Because your fringe desires aren't satisfied does not mean there is no variety. Only iOS and Android is close to no variety. iOS, Android, Harmattan, Symbian, S40, Bada, WebOS, WP, WM - that is variety.

Re: Bada 2.0 rox
 

Ahhh, a new beta ROM popped in :)
