Samsung 'New Wave' (Wave 2 S8530) is better than 'Old Wave (S8500 Wave)

Samsung S8500 Wave, when it was released in Feb. 2010 was a sensation. After 7 months, in October 2010, when Samsung released the new Wave 2 S8530, it is much better than the old one. It neatly tides over the old wave. Here are the reasons, why Wave 2 S8530 is better than S8500 Wave. Samsung Wave 2 S8530 comes with more powerful Bada OS 1.2 and the dependable ARM Cortex A8 1GHz processor. It has a bigger and better 3.7 inches, Super Clear LCD capacitive touchscreen with Scratch Resistant Oleophobic Surface. Almost all other specifications are same between the two phones. 3G data speed of HSDPA 3.6 Mbps; HSUPA, 2 Mbps is not adequate when we compare it with certain other phones in the same range, but overall Samsung Wave 2 S8530 is a good buy. We recomend it. For more details click on the following links.
