Samsung Wave: The phone that should run Android
Samsung has always impressed me as a hardware manufacturer. Their phones are usually decent looking, easy to use and personally I’ve experienced minimal hardware failures. The same holds true for the Samsung Wave, which, if anything, is their most impressive handset to date.
Just unveiled at a Valentine’s Day press conference, the Wave is Samsung’s entrant into the upper tier of the smartphone market. It runs a 1 GHz processor and boasts 802.11n, an 800 x 480 AMOLED, Bluetooth 3.0, a 5MP camera, 2GB or 8GB internal storage with a microSD slot for expansion, and codec support for WMV, DivX, XviD, MP3 and 720p decoding and recording. The spec sheet is incredible, until you get to one little detail.
Bada. Samsung dropped its brand-new OS on this phone – yes, it’s the operating system that’s meant to make feature phones all fun and featurey. I tried to be understanding when Samsung launched Bada, but with a phone this fantastic there is no reason to run anything but Android.
The phone launches in April. Prices remain unannounced.

Totally agree. But there may be hope – the Galaxy i9000 has exactly the same hardware, with the exception of the differently-sized – but same res – screen. Therefore a ROM port shouldn’t be very hard to accomplish at all. In fact it should almost be automatic. And that would be one seriously killer phone.
If that’s possible, Wave is a killer phone indeed.
Samsung Wave is not especially good as it is now. Problems with e-mail reader and other flaws.

Agree completely. I think this is a strategic blunder on part of samsung because this phone is the best look/feel/spec handset I have seen/held in a very long time. This phone should have been running android – had it done so it would have been a hit at the price point that it has been launched. The galaxy S is far more expensive and not as good looking as the wave.
Agree with the other comments.
Can someone please create a ROM port to get Android onto the Wave!
VOTE 1 ANDROID FOR SAMSUNG WAVE!!
I completely agree with everyone. It is very hard to see nowadays, a complete smartphone package with a 1 Ghz processor, 720p video recording and some goody features like FM recording, Divx player, AMOLED screen etc. Samsung even though capable to beat anyone in the market produces some very good smartphones but with a glitch. Some of the recent best samsung smartphones I(might be WE) got all disappointed 1. Samsung Galaxy without flash (8mp smartphone in the year 2010, can you believe it?) 2. Samsung I8520 Beam, a lot thicker with a 800 mhz instead of a 1ghz and finally 3. Wave, as you said, they made the perfect smartphone with the wrong OS like giving the perfect recipe to the wrong chef.
This phone would sell like hotcakes if it came out with Android!
Yup, I’ve got the HTC Desire and Samsung wave here side by side.. I’m trying to use the force to get android from the desire over to the wave.. no luck so far 🙁
Lovely phone, lovely size, beautiful screen, light, decent battery (esp compared to the desire)
