The successor to the original Wave, Samsung Wave II (S8530), is finally hitting the UK. Previously we thought it will be launched in December but obviously something went wrong when we needed to wait for an additional month.
The device is available either directly from O2 or from phone retailer Phones4U, which can hook you up with a number of contracts from Vodafone, Orange and (again) O2. You can grab the Wave II starting from free as long as you commit on a contract that costs at least 20 GBP a month.
If you recall, we’re talking about the first Samsung’s smartphone that runs Bada 1.2. Inside it’s pretty much identical to the original Wave, except that it rocks a bigger 3.7-inch WVGA display (as opposed to Wave’s 3.3-inch one). Moreover, the Wave II also comes with 3G and WiFi connectivity on board, 5-megapixel camera, 1GHz processor, GPS, Bluetooth 3.0, microSD memory card slot and so on.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
