Following hot on the heels of the news that you can grab the Samsung Wave (S8500) on T-Mobile in the UK, now it’s Oranges turn to get some Samsung lurve! This time it’s the Wave AND the Monte that are coming to the France Telecom-owned Operator.
I have to say that the Monte does not excite me massively – I just don’t know what’s there to make it stand out from the crowd – apart from the colour stripe on it (um, is that what they call a USP? Nope, it’s been done before). However, the Wave is interesting because of it’s spec – which includes a Super-AMOLED screen, and the Bada OS. On top of that there’s Bluetooth 3.0, Wi-FI, a 1Ghz processor, a 5MP camera, A-GPS, 720p recording/encoding and DivX/XviD support. Nice.
