I have Bada 2.0 beta on my Wave. Hands down, it is the best OS ever. Bada 1 was OK, premature but OK, but 2.0 got it all, even swipe This doesn't prevent me from getting the N9 though. One, maybe not essential but extremely cool thing about Bada 2.0 is that it connects wirelessly with any Samsung device with wifi or wired connection, and it is dead easy to use. For instance, you can use the Wave as a DLNA server and send pics, music, videos directly to the TV or DVD or receiver, or you can use any server available and send it to the TV or whatever. Everything controlled from the phone. Nokia had similar but not as capable functionality in the old Symbian, but some genius decided to remove it from Symbian^3. The N900 also have a simplified version, don't know about Harmattan. The main thing is that Bada 2.0 integrates seamlessly with any Samsung device (TV, PC, Receiver, DVD, radio) and work as a remote controller for a local Samsung network. How can any other manufacturer compete with this? Samsung got the best TVs, they got the best DVD players, best receivers, best toasters, best everything. Soon they will rule the entire phone industry as well.

Harmattan or MeeGo may be more capable OS than Bada on paper, but Samsung has figured out what people want, and everything is there in Bada 2.0 right out of the box. It is lightning fast, smooth and completely fluent even in beta. Android is an elephant in comparison, slow and laggy. Bada has been here only a year. It has had limited distribution from one single manufacturer on rather dull devices (except the Wave I), but has grabbed a 2% market share already. Samsung is destined to grow even more, and with Bada 2 on the Wave III it's time for some serious rock n roll.

I am starting to believe that Elop and company actually has done a serious error in their analysis. Android is not the main enemy, iPhone is not the main enemy. Samsung is the main enemy, and Bada is going to eat Androids and WPs for breakfast, and iPhone as dessert.

LOL, some rant, even for me But if you look past the present nonsense about Nokia and WP and killing of Symbian and Elop and all that. Samsung is not satisfied with Android in the long run. They want Bada and WP, and Nokia going WP - Samsung may actually do lots of work behind the scenes to make this happen. Google knows this and purchase Motorola.
