Bada 2.0 update seeding to the Samsung S8500 Wave

The Bada 2.0 update certainly took its time to arrive, but it's finally seeding to S8500 Wave smartphones. So if you have resisted the temptation to flash it by yourselves from one of the leaked ROMs, you time has come.

The release isn't officially announced by Samsung just yet and there is no information about its rollout schedule, but we suspect it will go global quite quickly. Bada is not too widespread a system and while the Wave was a pretty popular smartphone, Samsung servers should handle it quite easily.

You can check if the update is already available for your region by hooking up your Samsung S8500 Wave to your computer and launching the Samsung Kies software suite. Then you should follow the steps to backup your data and flash it on your smartphone.

Samsung Wave Y LeFleur edition quietly goes on sale, costs $165

It seemed that Samsung has forgotten all about its LeFleur lineup of female-targeted phones, but as it turns out they were simply flying under the radar. We just stumbled upon a LeFleur edition of the Samsung Wave Y that is already on sale, but we have never seen before.

The Samsung Wave Y S5380 LeFleur surfaced on a Ukrainian online store's website and it costs just $165. Judging by the specs on the handset's listing page, there are no functional differences between the LeFleur and the original version.

Still, the nicely decorated purple back and the accents on the front will probably be enough to win the Wave Y LeFleur plenty of fans among the ladies, and with Valentine's day just around the corner that might work out quite well for Samsung.

Unfortunately, there's no official information about the Samsung Wave Y LeFleur availability outside Ukraine, so we are not sure if you'd be able to get it at your local store. We'll be keeping an eye on it though and will make sure to keep you up to date if more info pops up.
