It was hardly a well-kept secret by any stretch of the imagination, but at MWC Samsung’s Wave S8500 has raised its head. It’s running the new Bada OS, and has one of those 3.3-inch SUPER AMOLED screens we saw before<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The SUPER AMOLED screen is a 3.3-inch capacitive job, with an 800 x 480 resolution—not shabby, to say the least. The larger 3.5-inch display of the iPhone for example has 480 x 320 pixels. Anyway, it’s also the first phone to have Bluetooth 3.0, as rumored yesterday, using the 802.11 protocol for transferring data at around 24Mbps. Speedy-fast, you could say.<\/p>\n

A 1Ghz processor and 2GB of storage has been popped into the typical-looking Samsung exterior, along with a 5.0-megapixel camera (with autofocus and flash), capable of shooting video at 720p. Wi-Fi, GPS and HSDPA connectivity round it off.<\/p>\n

Going back to the Bada OS, this was first unveiled in November<\/a> but now we know that it’s compatible with Samsung’s TouchWiz 3.0 interface (a step up from the 2.0 Plus, which was seen on the leaked Monte last week<\/a>).<\/p>\n

It’ll be out in April, and while I’ve never particularly been impressed by a Samsung phone before (far from it, in fact), the Wave does have some interesting specs—like that AMOLED display. Wait and hear our verdict when we get hands-on with it, because as you know…things don’t always turn out like the marketer boasts.<\/p>\n
