The mobile phone fans out there have been waiting for news of the Samsung Wave thanks to the fact that it runs on Samsung brand new "Bada" operating system. Bada is seen as a major rival to the other main players out there, namely the Google Android.

The depth of the handset is just 10.9 mm, and although the weight cannot be confirmed at this time, it is likely to be very lightweight for a smartphone. The 3.3" screen is a touch larger than some of its counterparts, meaning its great for displaying photos and watching movies. A huge 16 million colours can be displayed and the resolution is impressive, at 800 x 480.
