Operating System
The Wave was the first phone with Samsung's own Operating System, BADA, meaning "Ocean". Though quite impressive at the beginning, this OS had its hiccups in mid term with the phone hanging constantly and restarting frequently. Samsung worked on the higher versions of BADA 1.2 and later 2.0. BADA 1.2 was released to the world in phased manner and it was much stable with respect to BADA 1.0. But due to lack of a powerful core in the OS, application development was limited, a situation which samsung hoped to rectify by launching BADA 2.0. But BADA 2.0 is yet to be fully released to the world due to lots of bugs found and hence, application development has been throttled.
In January 2012, Samsung declared[10] that it was planning to merge bada with Linux based Tizen which is developed in collaboration intel. This move is seen effectively as Samsung dumping its own OS on which they have worked for quite a few years.
Other features

It also has a magnetometer (compass), a proximity sensor, an accelerometer, 5.1-channel surround sound Mobile Theater, music recognition, a fake call service, smart search, Social Hub and it is the first phone to support Bluetooth version 3.0.
This phone is available with both European/Asian 3G bandings and the North American 3G bandings. The North American 3G bandings version of the phone is a limited availability and is not available in the US.
