Bada is an operating system for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers. It is developed by the Samsung Electronics. Its name is derived from "바다 (bada)", meaning "ocean" or "sea" in Korean. It ranges from low-end feature phones to high-end smartphones.

Vision of bada

The vision of bada is "Smartphone for Everyone". bada's main goal is not to compete with other existing smartphone platforms. Instead, bada will turn Samsung's conventional customers into smartphone users by providing cost-effective smartphones. This means that bada will open and extend a new smartphone market, which does not exist in the current mobile market. bada will create a new smartphone market, which will turn into a new blue ocean.

History of bada

Samsung bada has a long history of almost 10 years. During this time, it has been Samsung's proprietary platform, having been deployed in many successful handsets.
To make the proprietary platform smarter, we added exciting features such as multipoint-touch, 3D graphics, an enhanced UI, and of course, application downloads and installation, and so bada was born. Samsung bada is proven to be reliable with its success history and also enhanced with its new features.

Business with bada

Samsung bada will help mobile developers to expand their application business. Our aim is to continue to release successful models. Over 280,000,000 customers bought Samsung handsets in 2010. As bada is the one of major smartphone platform of Samsung, Samsung will roll out additional bada-based smartphones and continue to support bada developers in making and marketing high-quality applications.
Samsung bada will rapidly be adopted by such customers this year.
In addition, the global distribution and coverage of Samsung mobile phones and Samsung Apps, the application store, will boost developers´ businesses. Samsung Apps has expanded its services to more than 110 countries for bada in 2010.
No wonder. A new blue ocean is coming. We hope you are among the early birds in this new market.

This video provides a detailed demonstration of the key features of the Samsung Wave 3, which includes a premium metal design, enhanced bada 2.0 UX, integrated apps and services, expressional messenger ChatON and powerful performance.

Још мало па ће да пребаце Вејвове 1 и 2 на верзију баде 2.0.

Овако је супер телефон, са овим унапређењем ће бити још бољи... а можда дође и више апликација.

Angry Birds making its way to bada OS for free – only for Wave III for now


The Angry Birds game is among the most popular, if not the most popular, games in the smartphone gaming atmosphere. It’s available on iOS, Android, WebOS, Symbian, PC and now Bada OS.




The addition has been made today and the game is free to download on Wave S8600 3.That’s the only Bada phone currently supported but the requirement is to have Bada 2.0 preinstalled so we guess that other Wave devices will follow suit.

So if you’re among the ones that cover the basics and have been waiting to try Angry Birds on your Bada device, this is your chance. Just go over to the Samsung Apps store, where the game will be waiting.

Thanks, badelemental for the tip!

Људи, имам "вејв 2" и на њему инсталирану Баду 1.2, е сад, да ли је могуће апдејтовати оперативни систем на Бада 2.0 и како?

Imas li Samsung Kies instaliran na kompu?
Da li si probao preko njega da uradis update?

Имам инсталиран, тамо ми нуди да апдејтујем "Firmware"... То је то?
И једе говна нешто са меморијом, у фазону тражи 3 гб слободно, а ја интерну меморију имам укупно око 400mб, од тога 200мб слободно...

Ja nikada nisam koristio bada telefon, ali ne mogu da poverujem da ti trazi 3GB na telefonu.
Da se tu ne radi o slobodnom prostoru na hard disku za back up podataka sa telefona?
Postavi screen da vidimo sta tacno pise.

Чек чек чек, видиш мени то за хард диск није пало на памет... Сад ћу да покушам....
Не могуће је да тражи 3 гб простора на телефону, а да телефон има само 400мб своје меморије...
