Samsung and update to Bada 2.0
Samsung and update to Bada 2.0
Lots of people complained about updating their Wave and Wave2 devices to Bada 2.0
In general it just takes too long for the official updates to roll out.
The convenient question arrises immediately : Why ?
For us its relatively simple. Bada 2.0 for Europe has been finished some time ago.
As most of you may know we released updates steadily. Unfortunately still there are no “official” updates.
Samsung now announced to start the roll out of bada 2.0 updates Q1 of 2012 for wave devices and more.
This is almost a year after the announcement of Bada 2.0 !
But what can we actually believe in all this? Is Samsung this slow or are these just good sales tactics?
According to one of our “insiders” the roll out of Bada 2.0 shouldve started Q3/Q4 2011.
Not bad looking at all the leaked ROMs we offer allready.
Unfortunately this also proved to be not reliable information.
When we asked Samsung Benelux for clarification they stated it to be planned for November.
Now that the year has almost passed its more likely to hit Q1 2012…
Samsung will provide Bada 2.0 exclusively 2/3 months for Wave3, WaveM and WaveY.
This will be good for Samsung sales, in a store youll probably decide to buy a bada 2.0 device then one running older software.
Also Samsung will slowly stop producing the older Wave devices.
So the long waiting can be good for commercial reasons but not for the true Bada users.
Something which Apple and Google take on from a whole different approach.
Unfortunately both companies are legends in software bussiness and Samsung is just not there yet.
When will Bada 2.0 arrive in your oppinion?
Looking back at all expectation and info leaks we think its safe to say it will arrive Q1 2012.
And yes thats almost a full year after the announcement.
Samsung states Bada 2.0 will roll out for the following devices:
Wave, Wave II, Wave 723 ,Wave 578 and Wave 575.
Good review about this problem!

Good article,
As a “Wave I” user (from the very begining) I waited patiently and tried to understand Samsung, but the honest truth is that they failed. Another sad truth is that more and more users are going to drop their wave’s for android or wp.
Samsung seems to fail to understand its users and focuses only on market and selling devices without taking care of them after.
I saw a movie yerstarday and one character said that “Without loyalty you’re nothing! Nothing! We appreciate a man over his word rather than his skills, because without the word you cannot trust him in delivering the skills”. Well put that to Samsung, we were loyal for the bada 1.0 software, we helped it expand, but when Samsung didn’t respect its own word than you cannot appreciate them anymore, no more loyalty for Samsung, and by no more loyalty it means Samsung because nothing! Nothing without its customers.

Going to sell my Wave2 tomorrow and will get something else fortunately some one is there to buy my Wave2!

Oh my God….. That’s terrible news, Samsung seems really sucky after all. It’s clear by your sayings that they need new software managers, and quickly, before more users realize that and Samsung loses its credibility with Bada.
Bada is such a good OS, I really hate it being pushed back by stupid and poorly educated Samsung managers.
PS. Business unfortunately always puts “collars” on technology and designers, never leaving them to freely develop the science to its full potential. That’s a fact, and it’s going to be frowned upon by future generations.

I’m afraid Samsung will dump Bada to trash in the near future. They are secretly in the development of Meee-gooo. Search and find.
2012 Q1 can easily be Q4….I lost my interest in Bada 2….

Samsung doing bit wrong. They had a chance to learn from Google, Apple and Nokia how they treat with their customers. But pushing people to wait for a year it’s a way to much.
I put my Wave on a shelf about two month ago. And you know, I didn’t miss it at all. Symbian Belle does job just excellent.
Good luck people.

Hi guys,
Lets focus on Android OS for Wave. With android we can put at least some nice apps on the phone. I’m tired of waiting for Bada 2.0. After the Q1/2012 when they come up with Bada 2.0 we have wait another year again before changes will take place.

Samsung should realize that this kind of tricks do not help Wave3 to sell more. In fact, more and more people start wondering that next updates for Wave3 will be delayed in a similar fashion.
The trust is what makes a brand not the quality of the product.

I had a wave 2, and waited for soo long for 2.0, but enough is enough!! I went for a S2…… I’ve done enough of waiting and now I’m pissed off!! >:(
And for what?? Another BADA OS?! I’ve fooled myself too long to believe that Bada 2.0 will be as good as any android out there…….. But Android truly is far ahead!
It feels great to say-
FAREWELL BADA!!

I have completely changed my mind; just because bada 2.0 has given me enough time to come to a conclusion. Thanks to samsung’s epic story of bada 2.0. Hereafter I will not buy any smart phone. Instead I will go for a basic phone and I will buy a tablet for performing other functions mainly email. Now a days the tablets are getting very cheaper. also its convenient to use tablets than smartphones.
i hope you guys also will agree with me.

We already have Bada 2.0 for Wave (KK7) and Wave II (KK5).
Most of users doesn’t know about updating a firmware, they even installed Kies on their computers…
After 1 year I think everybody can wait now for official Bada 2.0.
Btw, thanks for the article.

to help wave3 sell more? bull****! the worst strategy ever. now i tell my potential phone buyer friends to stay away from bada.
even they buy wave3 with 2.0, they’ll hate it for long time as they will have to wait for newer updates.
for myself, in just few months time i’ll swicth to iphone 4s ( or even iphone5 if released), my wave2 with 2.0 will be transp***ing to that. coz i know i’ll be frustrated with the 2.0′s lacks..
i own an LCD TV , another samsung phone for my wife and home theatre branded Samsung ( they are over 4 years old) but when the time comes to update them i wont choose Samsung at all..
i wont let anyone to buy any of samsung products ever..
this will be the consequence of their terrible marketing strategy and not being loyal to its customers…
idiots…

guys…even if you stay away from bada and stick to android still you are with samsung only because galaxy phones with android are rocking….it is just that samsung will fail in bada and will only sell phones with google’s OS. Bada is actually the opportunity for samsung to grow its own OS and show the presence in software field like android and ios. but unfortunately samsung will loose this opportunity by dumping the bada os just for android….Samsung will not be able to create its image like apple or google because apple and google deserve what they are today…..and samsung will get what it deserve in very short span of time……

after 1 year of expectation, after android 4.0 announcement (with all my hatred to Java and Dalvik) I will choose SGS3 when it’s ready! Samsung is still in profit, OK?
And I will get rid of stupid expectation of firmware upgrade and waiting for the developers to turn their faces to Bada. This is Samsung fail, coz I beleived Bada will rock. But it turns out to be ****.
Wave I was awesome. I own it. And Bada 2.0 on the board. But it’s not OK to have so few apps. I don’t want much. I just want Opera as a native app, not as a Java appendix.
Devs don’t like Bada, coz SDK 1 was damn bad. Now it’s more or less good, but still android dev community is bigger, thus it’s easier to develop and there’re hundreds of ways to do it.

They are not able to finish Bada 2 updates in one year and looks like Bada 3 development (which the development is still going on) will be a disaster a never ending story.
It was better to finish Bada 2 first and keep your credibility and trust then begin to Bada 3….
Looks like a childish management….

WAO, WHAT A TOPIC TO BE OFFERED FOR DISCUSSION ON THIS VERY SITE.
I guess, the moderators from the forum owe me a big apology for speaking up the true, just about the same as people have said above. They were spitting up all over my comments, closing up topics, deliberating to ban me. I had a feeling they would eat me alive if they could.
So, what, actually has happened? Have you guys learned something overnight, or you have been denied leaked firmwares from Samsung and all of a sudden got mad at Samsung yourself.
I hope you have learned something, otherwise you would be the same as old BAD samsung.
Congratulations!!!

I still like Bada, the beta FW works quiet well, Kies has Backup so i can update via Multiloader, there are quiet a lot good working apps, i have a big penis, and i don’t care if bada is going to be released in the end of 2011 or beginning 2012… btw.: Bada devices can write SMS’ and give some calls and that’s all a phone should do
Good review, unpatient europeans

on May 2011, one of my friend asked me: why not install xxxx’x app?
I answered him: my phone doesn’t have it, i’m happy with bada
On Jul 2011, another 2nd friend asked me the same question, I start thinking why bada does not have it…
On Sep 2011, a 3rd friend asked me the same question, I start changing my mind…
On Dec 2011, the 4th, 5th friend asked me the same question, I am going to take action….
Just because Samsung gave me so much time to re-re-re-re-think about changing phone…
