Hey, good on Samsung for trying to make their own OS<\/a>. I’m sure it will be wonderful for them. It saves them from having to, I don’t know, use Android? But what’s with all the Nokia Series 60 font usage in the UI?<\/p>\n

These screenshots, which are floating around right now<\/a>, show some of the UI elements of the new OS, Bada. The font they’re using is approximately (or exactly, I’m not a font scientist (fontographer?)) the same font used on most Series 60 Symbian phones.
\n<\/span>
\nConsidering Samsung used to use Symbian it’s not a far reach to think that their UI team just hung on to some bad habits but S60 brings up a lot of bad memories for people. <\/p>\n

Or could the worst be happening and is Samsung building Bada on top of Symbian, which is now ostensibly open source<\/a>? We’ll ask, but we probably won’t want to know the answer.<\/p>\n
