downloaded bada 2.0 and let me just say DONT DO IT..it deletes everything that's not stored on your memory card; your phone contacts, your messages/emails and their settings, your t9 dictionary, EVERYTHING. There offcourse is a backup process during the instalation, but this being Samsung, the backup in Kies doesn't work. Kies actually doesn't work at all, it just freezes the computer when you go into the app store, but that's a story for another time.
And what do you get in the 2.0?..Well, everything looks alot better, and somehow nicer, but that's about it. Imo, samsung tried to make bada look like android so hard that they totally remade it and forgot to put in the things that actually made bada great.
So now, the middle diamond button doesn't get you into the menu; it does nothing at all, you can't call/msg contact by swiping left/right on their names, you cant set the screen brightness from the movie player, if you want to connect in usb-stick mode, you have to specify it by going through 10 menus (no more "ask when connected") and what bothers me the most, unlocking it; Bada 1.2 had an option where you could turn on the screen with any button and then just swipe across it to unlock. This was ofc great, but now the only button that turns on the screen is the unlock button which is pretty much a pain in the ass to press. So if you want to unlock it, you have to
1. press the unlock button
2. swipe across screen or hold down unlock button
OR (you're gonna love this) you can use the "intelligent" new way to unlock it
1. press the unlock button
2. put your finger on the screen
3. shake the phone violently 3 times while holding your finger on the screen
it takes about 10 seconds to unlock it this way, and why would anybody do it is beyond me, but that's what's new in bada 2.0
Anyway, bada 1.2 was great, but if this is what Wave III has, than I really don't see why anyone in their right mind would chose a new bada phone over some android or iphone

Bass is too boosted and I can hear hisses. Maybe it's just me.

AnonD-12498, 13 Feb 2012which firmwere u are using?
Hi, Im using official BADA 2.0 firmware:
2.01201051942 LISS8500XXLA1
I expected that bada 2.0 would be improved by .swf and .gif formats because even .gif formats in Bada 1.2 are lagging (set as wallpaper) and in 2.0 .gif formats are lagging too.
