Samsung Wave M Pro Reviews

Overall, the Wave M sports an OK design, without any bells and whistles, but it feels sturdy, and is comfortable to grab and hold, albeit bulky. The biggest gripe is a lower than usual pixel density for the category, which sometimes makes text appear jagged, and the TouchWiz interface granular. What we did appreciate were the decent outdoor pictures from the 5MP shooter and the good call quality. The Wave M doesn't stand much chance against a decent Android midrange phone with the hundreds of thousands of apps backing it up, but it is a decent addition to the bada lineup nonetheless. Phones like the Samsung Galaxy Ace with Android are in the Wave M price range, and offer access to Android Market with similar hardware specs. For the same screen size as the Wave M plus Android you can look at the Acer Liquid Metal, which can be found currently very cheap, but its camera shots are worse than with the Wave M. Frankly, you can also get the Wave II, or even the first Samsung Wave, which are way better than the Wave M, and can be found at similar prices. The Nokia 603 is also a good alternative, despite missing an LED flash, since you get more apps than with bada OS, and free lifetime navigation, plus a very bright display with higher resolution.
