Great news from the guys over at news.softpedia.com in relation to Samsung and the Bada operating system.

Samsung unveiled its first handset powered by the Bada OS during the MWC in Barcelona in February now what’s exciting is we have more information with reference to the release date and perhaps more importantly the price.

It is listed already on Play.com and set for the release date of May 17th and it is priced at £399.99 or $378.55 which seems pretty reasonable really for the Samsung Wave.

Amazon.de the other website listing the device have it at $429 but they are not showing a release date yet for the device. We assume that it will be early May and will let you know more when we know. Not only is the Samsung Wave S8500 the first to be powered by Samsung’s Bada operating system it is also the first to boast the new Super AMOLED technology.
