It looks like a new version of Bada OS and a firmware update for the Samsung Wave is around the corner. SamsungFirmwareWorld has found a leaked build of Bada OS 1.2 (S8500XXJID) which is made for the Samsung Wave (S8500). From what we’ve read, the Wave users can expect few things, including:
- Nuance’s T9 Trace touchscreen input, which is very similar to Swype,
- New USB icon (not sure what’s the use case here), and
- Performance improvements in the phone’s UI and browser (which already seem pretty fluid to me)
In other words, expect to have all the goodies the upcoming Wave II running on your original Wave smartphone.
We don’t know the release date(s), but it looks like this update is for the European Samsung Wave, only. That, of course, doesn’t mean Wave owners living in Asia won’t get this firmware too — it only means Europeans will be the first to taste it… As soon as it’s officially released, we’ll talk about it on IntoMobile. Stay tuned.
