Bell launching the Samsung Wave on July 8th

Exclusive

Thanks to one of our Northern connects, we’re now able to confirm that the Samsung S8500 Wave will be launching in Canada on July 8th. To be available through Bell, the Bada-based Wave’s notable features include a 3.3″ WVGA Super AMOLED display, 5 megapixel camera with 720p video capture, 1GHz processor and TouchWiz 3.0. The launch memo we were forwarded mentions a retail price of $299.95, though clearly that is just a holder as the actual price has yet to be finalized and will not be passed along to employees until the 28th of June. Anyone interested?

Thanks, J.!

    So when will Canada actually get a decent phone? Release something good for once!

    Waves are all wet and they crash often.

    No one will buy it for $299 when an iphone or blackberry cost less.

    Even if he has a 1Ghz processor or a 5mp camera… Bada doesn’t have the background support like AppStore/Appworld or BIS/BES.

        Just wait for the Galaxy S that Samsung keeps talking about. Claiming it will take 10% of the world market share and surpass BB sales. It will run Android
