Bada is dead. Bada 2 is just to keep people hoping for nothing. Just look at the Samsung apps market, most new apps are themes. Don't regret buying it because good phone at launch but now so many better android phone like new Ace2, Xperia Sola, Galaxy W, Galaxy S Advance...etc.

Excellent when came out and Samsung had a brilliant idea when announced Bada 2! With that announcement they problably sold all Bada phones in stock. Just marketing false promises! It seems Bada is defenitly dead, so is Wave.

My next phone ? Xperia P as soon as it is available !

Just to Hard Reset of your phone and your problem get resolved and you will not get any error and then try to upgrade your phone to Bada 2.0

And also please backup your phone data before hard reset or before upgrade to Bada 2.0

If you need any help let me know.
