I based My review on a comparison to the samsung I8910 this is my result

To me the s8500 is just a re-packaged i8910 with faults removed and a new housing plus the fact they have give it another os due to the fact symbian is been phased out but this strikes another problem with samsung the bada os is new so software developers now face a new challange and there wont be much demand for apps to start with so dont go expecting to get this and find it has as many apps as the iphone as it wont. an insider did tell me that samsung will be releasing an app that any one can use to create apps for the bada os but it wont be released until after the phone is launched.

So to me and proberly the rest of you them specs are almost identical to the i8910, ok so maybe one or two things are different but very similar indeed.

Thing is will the S8500 end up with the same problems ?? what about Apps ?? and what does the futre for see with this new OS or is Bada just an anagrame for "a bad OS" ?
